From PBS Digital Studios comes the Origin of Everything: a series of lively, short videos that offers the origin stories behind everything from the custom of handwashing after using the bathroom to the popular belief that Santa Claus wears red. Launched in September 2017, the show is hosted by Yale doctoral candidate Danielle Bainbridge who notes, "[h]istory isn't just about examining a distant set of dates in the past. It's about bringing a level of critical urgency to all the questions we're asking by saying, 'Why did this story/date/event become respected as historical 'truth'?" In each episode, Bainbridge unpacks each origin story with the aid of historical photographs, short videos, and other helpful graphics. Each episode is approximately ten minutes in length. Visitors can check out new episodes on this YouTube page or on the Origin of Everything's Facebook page.
