About ThatsWhyHow

ThatsWhyHow makes animated explainers that start with a question (“Why and how does…?”) and end with the answer. Topics come from what people are curious about right now, explained with the long view.

How we make videos

Scripts are researched and fact-checked against primary sources such as central banks, government statistics and peer-reviewed research before any animation begins. Sources appear on screen and on each episode page. Narration uses a synthetic voice, and all animation is original.

Corrections

If we get something wrong, tell us in the video's comments. We pin corrections on YouTube and note them on the episode page.
