The Rest Is Science, a new video-first show from Goalhanger, explores the forces, patterns, and questions that define the world around us. From cutting-edge discoveries to age-old mysteries, it invites audiences to think deeper – to notice what they’ve overlooked, and to see the familiar through fresh eyes.
The Rest Is Science is hosted by Professor Hannah Fry and Michael Stevens. Twice a week – every Tuesday and Thursday – they explore big ideas and surprising questions. Each Tuesday brings a deep dive into a single topic, uncovering the science and stories behind it, while Thursday features a ‘Field Notes’ episode, where a curious object sparks a journey through the ideas it represents. Clips across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts keep the conversation going between episodes.
Fry – a British mathematician, broadcaster and Professor for the Public Understanding of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge -commented: “We wanted to make a show that takes familiar ideas and turns them inside out – breaking them down and looking so closely that they start to feel almost unrecognisable. Science is full of things we think we understand – time, randomness, beauty, evolution – until you actually start to question them. Then you realise how strange, fragile, and completely astonishing reality really is.”
Stevens – an American educator, inventor, and the creator and host of YouTube channel Vsauce – added: “With The Rest Is Science, we wanted to go beyond pop science and maths – to dig into the kinds of details that usually get skipped over. I’ve always been fascinated by that space between what we know and what we think we know. That’s where curiosity really lives, and that’s the space this show explores.”
In Episode One, launching on November 25th, the pair explore whether water is actually ‘wet’, how minerals shape its taste – from New York bagels to Yorkshire tea – before diving into the planet’s vanishingly small supply of drinkable freshwater, the dangers of over-hydration, and water’s cosmic origins.
Jack Davenport, Co-founder at Goalhanger, said: “The Rest Is Science signals what’s next for Goalhanger – video-first storytelling, global talent, and ambitious ideas built to travel. It caps off our biggest year yet, expanding across formats, audiences, and partnerships, and sets the tone for where we’re heading next – all the while reaching record audiences across our shows.”
