Why the Hell Is That?

Origami Penguin Press

Why is it colder on a mountain when you're closer to the sun? Why can't you tickle yourself? Where the hell did our tails go? Every episode takes one question you've wondered about and gives you the real answer: what most people get wrong, what's actually going on, the weird bonus facts, and one thing worth stealing for your next dinner conversation. Honest about what science still doesn't know. New episodes daily, about 10 minutes each. Hosted by Jeremy Kelly. An Origami Penguin Press production.
