No overview available for this season.

Ep. 1: Surveillance (2020-08-02)

While surveillance technology raises real privacy concerns, some of it is being used in positive ways, especially when it comes to our animal friends.
Ep. 2: Poop (2020-08-02)

Sure, it's smelly and gross but excrement is more complex than we think. It holds many secrets, many problems, and—potentially—many solutions.
Ep. 3: Dust (2020-08-02)

A speck of dust seems insignificant, but a swarm of it can do everything from generating oxygen to tempering hurricanes to fertilizing the rainforest.
Ep. 4: Digits (2020-08-02)

Latif explores a law of numerical probability that applies to classical music, contemporary social media, tax fraud and perhaps the entire universe.
Ep. 5: Clouds (2020-08-02)

A 19th-century shipwreck led to weather forecasting as we know it, and laid the groundwork for other predictive models as well as ... well, the cloud.
Ep. 6: Nukes (2020-08-02)

They may be our worst creations. But Latif uncovers how nuclear bombs did some surprising good and visits those who ensure that they stop blowing up.
