WHY IS THAT?
Created by:
Some of the best things in life are often taken for granted, WHY IS THAT?
Have you ever wondered why bread is so much nicer in France? Why people in the UK drive on the left instead of the right? Why planes don't fall out of the sky?
In "WHY IS THAT?" Sebastien Pollock gives you the answers to why things are the way they are and tells a few good stories along the way. Join us on our exploration of the world, through history, science and entertainment and where sometimes the plainest of objects hide the most exciting of tales.
"WHY IS THAT?" is an RJP Media production for World Radio Normandy Caen and World Radio Paris.
