How It Holds Together

Behind everything ordinary is a system nobody explained to you: how a dam is kept from cooking itself, who takes a cut every time you tap a card, why the wolves came back when the people left.

How It Holds Together opens those systems one at a time and shows the hidden mechanism, the trade-off someone made, and what happens on the day it fails.

New documentaries every week on engineering, money, work, science, health, behaviour and the animal world, told plainly, with the receipts.

Once you see how it holds together, you cannot unsee it.
