Watch Answered by Vox

  • 2020
  • 1 Season

Answered by Vox is an informative and engaging new show from Quibi that explores a wide variety of intriguing questions behind everyday phenomena. Hosted by popular science communicator Joss Fong, each episode of the show gives viewers an in-depth explanation of a topic or phenomenon that many people take for granted, but few really understand.

The format of the show is simple yet effective. Each episode tackles one question, such as "Why do leaves change color in the fall?" or "Why is yawning contagious?" with an informative and insightful answer delivered in a clear and concise manner. The show is divided into several segments, beginning with an overview of the topic, followed by an explanation of the underlying science, and ending with a discussion of the practical implications of the phenomenon.

Each episode is relatively short, between eight and ten minutes in length, but packed with useful and interesting information that will leave viewers feeling smarter and more informed than before. Joss Fong is an excellent host, with a relaxed and engaging style that makes even complex scientific concepts accessible to a wide audience. The show's production values are also top-notch, with excellent animations and graphics that help to illustrate the key points being made.

What sets Answered by Vox apart from other science shows is its focus on answering questions that many people have wondered about but never had the opportunity to explore in depth. For example, one episode explains why some people can't eat cilantro, while another delves into the science behind deja vu. These are not topics that are typically covered in science documentaries, but they are the kind of questions that many people have and would love to know more about.

Another noteworthy feature of the show is its ability to connect scientific concepts to everyday life. While some science shows can be dry or focused solely on theory, Answered by Vox does an excellent job of showing how scientific principles are relevant to our lives. For example, an episode about why some people are more prone to sunburn than others not only explains the science behind skin color and UV radiation but also provides practical tips on how to protect oneself from the sun.

Overall, Answered by Vox is a well-produced and engaging show that is perfect for anyone who loves to learn about the world around them. Its short-format and accessible style make it perfect for watching on-the-go or during a quick break, while its focus on answering intriguing questions will keep viewers coming back for more. Whether you're a science geek or just someone who loves to learn new things, Answered by Vox is definitely worth checking out.
