About the work

A closer look.

Tell me one thing you, or someone you're thinking about, has always half-wondered. Why the low moon looks enormous. Why you can't tickle yourself. Why a retracted paper still shows up as valid. Why some songs get stuck in your head. I go find out what's actually true, check it against the real sources, and send back one small lesson told the way I'd tell a friend: about three minutes, spoken in my own voice, plus the written version with every claim linked so you can check me. If the evidence is thin, I say so. If the popular answer is a myth, I tell you it's a myth and where the real answer lives. If I can't find anything worth your money, I tell you before you pay and you owe nothing. Works as a small gift: name a person and something they're curious about, and I'll make it for them.
