Meet Pip and Professor Crease
Pip is a curious paper question mark. Every episode starts with one of Pip's questions, and once the real reason clicks, Pip folds into an exclamation mark. Professor Crease has been folding answers out of paper for a very long time.
How we make an episode
Researched
Primary sources first
Every claim is backed by at least two reliable sources. You'll find them in each video description.
Fact-checked
A second, independent check
Before production, each script is checked independently. When the science is still open, we say so.
Transparent
Made with digital tools
The paper world is animated in code and the narration voice is computer-generated. Script, research and design are ours.
