Little Dot Studios has teamed with broadcaster and arithmetician Rachel Riley on a new YouTube channel and podcast that uncovers the maths behind everyday life.
The Maths of Everything expands Little Dot’s original content slate. It will drop one episode a week across a range of formats, including a 30-minute explainer show, guest interviews and more. It launches with a partnership with National Numeracy to support everyday maths skills.
“The launch of this new show delivers compelling, creator-led content to digitally-native audiences,” noted Alex Hryniewicz, MD for network social platforms at Little Dot Studios. “Our network of over 250 social channels provides us with exceptional data, giving us a deep understanding of the types of educational, entertaining content that deliver commercial value. Maths is an integral part of everyday life, so this show sets out to answer everyday curiosities like how to book the cheapest holidays, to more complex topics like the maths of space travel. We couldn’t be happier to partner with Rachel Riley to bring The Maths of Everything to life and amplify fresh, original content across the complex media landscape.”
“Popular science and popular history have built huge audiences online, and maths deserves its moment too,” Riley said. “That’s exactly why we’re launching The Maths of Everything. Maths is so much bigger than what we remember from school. It’s fun, it’s fascinating, and it’s full of surprises. This channel puts entertainment first, and you’ll learn loads along the way. I’m delighted to be part of Little Dot’s network, and having National Numeracy as our launch partner means we’re spreading a vital message: maths is for everyone.”
