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.

Lemurs
^{24:13 | October 14th, 2018}

We tackle two listener requests in this episode – the ring tailed lemur and the aye aye, another type of lemur. Some of the coolest things we talk about in this episode are stink fights (yes, they’re a thing), evil omens, and lemur balls.

Living With A Brain Tumor: 11-Year-Old Twins Share Their Story
^{18:53 | Episode: 76 | October 12th, 2018}

In today’s episode we’re not answering any questions. Instead, we’re going to talk with 11-year-old twins Isabelle and Sophie Posner-Brown. When Sophie was two, she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. She’s had three surgeries and lots of chemotherapy, but she’s been on a break from chemo for the last four years. The twins talked with But Why about what it’s like to live with Sophie’s illness.

Pluto and the Planetary Pandemonium
^{00:14:13 | October 12th, 2018}

It’s a scientific controversy of planetary proportions! Is Pluto a planet, or not? You decide, after we present two sides of an epic astronomy argument. Back in 2006, the International Astronomer’s Union voted on a definition of the word “planet” that excluded Pluto and other newly dubbed “dwarf planets” from planethood status. Astronomers – and everybody else – quickly chose sides. We dive deep into the debate and learn that Pluto’s not the only Space Object Formerly Known As A Planet. Then we’ll ask you to weigh in with your opinion, and see if you can find “consensus” on what should be called a planet. Featuring planetary astronomer Kirby Runyon.

Science under the microscope (Prove It: Part 2)
^{00:28:34 | October 9th, 2018}

Science is a powerful fact-finding tool — but how does it work? In this second installment in our series “Prove It: How to find the facts,” we look to the past for answers. We find out how a snake heart helped get rid of an old idea about blood and how failed experiments are just as important as successful ones (bye bye, luminiferous ether). And we’ll hear from scientists working today about how curiosity is at the heart of science. All this plus a new Mystery Sound and snail-rific Moment of Um. Today’s episode is sponsored by Build-a-Bear Workshop (buildabear.com), Ozobot (ozobot.com/brains) and Bombas (bombas.com/brains) and you can support Brains On at brainson.org/donate.

A Brief History of Facts (Prove It: Part 1)
^{00:28:38 | October 2nd, 2018}

We’d be nothing without facts. They ground us in reality, help us make new discoveries and allowed us to build the modern world. In this episode we explain how we developed two of our most powerful fact finding tools: science and journalism! Plus, we’ll fact-check some conventional wisdom about ladybug spots and explain how surgeons operate on fish in our Moment of Um. All that and a Mystery Sound!

Bonus! 20 Cool Facts About Animals
^{12:21 | September 30th, 2018}

Happy International Podcasting Day! We’re celebrating with this bonus episode, where we share 20 super cool facts about animals. You’ll learn what big animal is born only the size of a jellybean; in which species males give birth; which animal has 9 brains, and lots more!

Why Do People Get Cancer?
^{19:07 | Episode: 75 | September 28th, 2018}

A cancer diagnosis can be scary, and for kids it can be bewildering. We’ve gotten some questions about cancer and in this episode we answer them with Dr. Donald Small, director of pediatric oncology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. We answer how people get sick when it’s not caused by germs, how people get cancer, and why cancer “does not have a cure.” There’s nothing graphic or scary in this episode, but adults may want to give this episode a listen if cancer is something your littles have been dealing with.

What Would Earth Be Like If Volcanoes Didn’t Exist?
^{00:11:43 | September 28th, 2018}

A volcanologist imagines a world without volcanoes, and tells us how her recipe for homemade lava bombs might lead to discoveries about ancient volcanoes in outer space! It turns out that volcanoes do more for planets than create natural pyrotechnic displays. You’re guarenteed to be blown away by volcanologist Erika Rader’s EXTREME VOLCANO SCIENCE PROJECT. Spoiler alert: It involves a huge cauldron of molten rock, an aircannon, and a forklift.
