The Paint Explainer

by The Paint Explainer

The Paint Explainer turns history, science, and unsolved mysteries into illustrated stories. Each episode covers a specific angle: ancient myths that turned out to be true, extinct animals returning to life, the most guarded places on Earth, disturbing ocean discoveries, gaps in the historical record we still cannot explain. The research is human, the drawings are hand-made, and the subjects are chosen because they sound impossible until you hear the evidence. Follow the show and leave a five-star rating if it earns one.
