Origin of Everything

Welcome to ORIGIN OF EVERYTHING with Danielle Bainbridge! If you're curious about where it all comes from, then this is place for you. Every week, we're going to investigate the fact that every aspect of our daily reality, whether its the words we use, the pop culture we love, the technology that get us through the day, or even the identities we give ourselves, emerge from thousands of intersecting histories. And on this channel, we're going to explore them ALL! . . . Okay, maybe not ALL, but you get the idea.

Origin of Everything is going to take a short break to work on some exciting new episodes with a brand new look. We'll return to our regularly weekly publishing schedule on March 20th!

Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started!

Danielle responds to some audience questions and comments from the last few episodes of Origin. Plus, find out the winning Origin fan name voted for by YOU!
