You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

When the creators of the popular science show with millions of YouTube subscribers comes the Minute Earth podcast.

Every episode of the show dives deep into a science question you might not even know you had,

but once you hear the answer, you'll want to share it with everyone you know.

Why do rivers curve?

Why did the T-Rex have such tiny arms? And why do so many more

kids need glasses now than they used to? Spoiler alert, it isn't screen time. Our team of

scientists digs into the research and breaks it down into a short, entertaining explanation,

jam-packed with science facts and terrible puns. Subscribe to Minute Earth wherever you like to listen.

Hi, listeners.

The following episode was edited and recorded prior to the death of George Floyd

and the ensuing protests.

I have chosen to release this episode rather than go dark for the week

or try to hastily throw together an episode more relevant to current events.

But please know that my thoughts are with all the Black Lives Matter protesters who are

fighting for real change today. Before the next episode, I intend to release a nearly three-and-a-half-hour

ad-free supercut of my series on the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,

including some exclusive content that non-patrons haven't heard yet,

in order to honor the perennial struggle for African-American civil rights,

and especially the spirit of nonviolent protest as embodied by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference,

to offer support, material or otherwise, to the Black Lives Matter movement,

follow the links in this episode's show notes.
