Explain It to Me

Explain It to Me is Vox’s new franchise focused on answering your questions—through a weekly podcast, a weekly newsletter, and a video series.

Wondering about why American politics work the way they do? Have a question about retirement? Or just curious about something in your everyday life—like whether your dentist is scamming you? We want to hear from you.

The Explain It to Me newsletter tackles a question each week, delivering a digestible explainer that’s fun to read, answered by different journalists around our newsroom.

The Explain It to Me podcast is your hotline for all your unanswered questions, and host Jonquilyn Hill is your friendly guide who will find you the answers you’re looking for – and maybe even the ones you don’t expect. New episodes release every Wednesday. You can always call us at 1-800-618-8545 or fill out this form and tell us what’s on your mind.
