Hey all! I have a video coming out this week that I’m beyond excited about - we went knee deep in the data for this one, and scraped reputable sources for hundreds of thousands of data points to finally get to the bottom of the question: what is really happening in the Bermuda Triangle?

Hi friends - new script for you from my recent video on How Subway is Taking Over Korea.
This is an example of what a script looks like when I have a video idea on-the-go while reporting on another topic. Bit fast and loose. Hope you enjoy it.

Hi all - this month's map is from my recent video, The Danger of Ignoring Julian Assange.
This video was an awesome effort, with our usual team working their magic, and an additional team on the ground at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London shooting additional footage.
