We ask big questions
One impossible match up, turning point or mystery per episode, grounded in what really happened or what we really know.
Animated curiosity
Big questions, drawn so they click.
Wandering Tortoise takes the questions worth wondering about, from history and science to the ones nobody can answer yet, and turns them into animated stories you can actually picture.
What we do
One good question at a time.
Every episode takes a single question and builds it out in clean animation, until a big idea fits into a few minutes.
We make it make sense
Numbers, maps, timelines and ideas, animated so a complex topic lands in seconds instead of paragraphs.
We keep it honest
Real facts, speculation clearly flagged as speculation, and curiosity before clicks.
First journey
Rome versus the Mongols. Who would actually win?
Two of history's most fearsome war machines, a thousand years apart, on one battlefield. We compare them army to army, then find out where each one wins.
ROME · THE MONGOLS
New journeys, one wander at a time.
