There are 2633 episodes in the Fact topic.

These are the latest episodes from the Fact topic added to soundcarrot, but be careful, many of these are serialised shows so jumping in at episode 10, for example, could confuse matters.

We'd recommend starting with the first episode of your show of choice, and if you like it, listening from there.

The Search at Edge of the Solar System
^{00:18:10 | February 22nd, 2019}

Is there a hard edge to the solar system? This question led to a big, breakthrough discovery that changed the way we picture the solar system – and every other solar system in the universe. The Kuiper Belt is a gigantic field of small, icy objects beyond Neptune, “planet scraps” left over from the formation of the planets. For many, many years, no one believed it might exist. Until astronomers Jane Luu and David Jewitt decided to see what was out there. Jane Luu tells the story of how she helped discover the Kuiper Belt.

How do airplanes fly?
^{00:28:35 | February 19th, 2019}

How do planes stay in the air? And how did humans figure out that it wasn’t enough to just strap wings to our arms and flap them like birds?

Why Is There A Big Patch Of Garbage In The Pacific Ocean?
^{24:05 | Episode: 85 | February 15th, 2019}

Why is there a big patch of garbage in the Pacific Ocean? Four-year-old Leon has heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch and he wants to know what the deal is. So we speak with someone who’s actually been there! Teen Vogue News and Politics Editor Alli Maloney visited the garbage patch last year for a series called Plastic Planet. But in this episode we’ll also explore how young people are becoming activists, trying to reduce the amount of plastic waste produced, waste that sometimes goes into the ocean. Anika Ballent, with the non-profit Algalita, shares what kids can and have been doing.

Memory and deja vu
^{00:33:54 | February 12th, 2019}

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane. We visit a campus full of hippos to learn how memories are stored, and drop in on a badger trainer to see how she recalls “the great badger blunder.” We also explore how many memories can our brains store. Hint: way more than you probably think. You may have heard of deja vu, but did you know there are other vus too? We found a lost game show where these vus are contestants. All this plus a new Mystery Sound and Moment of Um that answers the question: do fish have allergies? Tune in to find out!

S1, E17 – UPROARIOUS (GWP Earpetizer)
^{09:50 | Season: 1 | Episode: 17 | February 11th, 2019}

In this bonus “earpetizer” of The Good Words Podcast, host Lynn Hickernell features an excerpt from Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, the poem “The Bells of Shandon” by Francis Sylvester Mahony, and a special listener-submitted edition of, “GET IT?!?!?”

Duck-Billed Platypus
^{20:29 | February 9th, 2019}

It’s our most requested episode ever AND our most-answered riddle ever! You guessed it – it’s the platypus.

Hamster Versus Bacteria
^{00:14:23 | February 8th, 2019}

Who would win in a competition, a hamster or bacteria? Place your bets, because we’re going to tell the story of this epic science showdown. Danielle Tullman-Ercek is a synthetic biologist trying to find a better way to make life-saving medicine. To do it, she’s engineering a bacteria cell to compete with a medicine-making hamster cell. Listen to find out what if Danielle and her bacteria have what it takes to win. What’s a hamster cell doing making medicine, anyway?!

Are we still evolving?
^{00:33:08 | February 5th, 2019}

In this episode, we climb up, down and all around our evolutionary family tree. When did we branch off from our more ape-like ancestors? And will we evolve one day into a different species altogether? We’ll meet a bearded scientist from 160 years ago (no, not Charles Darwin) and eat some sundaes (thanks lactase persistence!). Plus a brand new Moment of Um answers the question: Do insects have the same blood as humans?
