Unexplainable is coming to Netflix. We're going to have a weekly video show starting this coming Monday, July 13th. And don't worry, we're still going to get two episodes a week right here in our audio feed. Every Monday, you'll get the same episode as Netflix right here for your ears. And every Wednesday, you'll get another new episode just for the audio feed. We're so excited to finally show you some of the things we could only talk about before, like bioluminescence in the depths of the ocean, or the most mind-bending photos from the James Webb Space Telescope, or hot pink flying squirrels glowing under UV light.

I just turned my head slowly to the left, and it's rising up out of the ground. This ball of light. And, of course, my first thought is, what am I seeing? This is not real. I'm like, what is that? It's a good question. What is that? How is that? Come on, you're not serious, right? unexplainable is a show about questions that take over your life are there different ways that humans might be dead what don't you understand about love do we live inside of an enormous black hole why is this dog eating his owner's face if he loves him why do we cry how will we be remembered what did you do next i kept on being like yeah but what if i eat it
