New explainer every week

Everything you know is a little bit wrong.

So we redraw it.

We take the things everyone believes and nobody bothers to check, then redraw them on a whiteboard. Every claim is checked before the first line goes down.

One email per video: the myth, what's actually true, and links to the research. No spam, unsubscribe in one click.

Sources published with every video Anything we cannot verify is labelled unverified

Bulls hate the colour red.

They can't even see it.

Drawn by hand, one stroke at a time

The board fills up while the story is told, by the same hand and the same marker from the first line to the last.

01

We draw the belief

The myth goes up first, in plain ink, exactly the way you were taught it. No stock footage and no slideshow: a hand, a marker, and a board that fills up while you watch.

02

We cross it out

Then it is struck through in red, and the true version is drawn in green beside it. You watch the correction happen instead of being told about it.

03

We show the receipts

Every claim goes through a fact-check before the voice-over is recorded. Anything we could not verify is labelled unverified, out loud and in writing.

Every claim ships with its source.

Most explainer channels ask you to trust the voice. We publish the list instead: every claim, its verdict, and where to look it up. The ones that failed stay on the list.
