Once upon a time, channels like Discovery and The Learning Channel sought to enlighten their viewers about the world around them with documentaries and other educational programing. But today, there are fewer and fewer channels committed to this goal, and watered-down "reality television" reigns supreme. It seems the golden age of basic cable television is gone all but gone. Luckily, there's Curiosity Stream, a streaming service that's committed to educational, informative content that enlightens as it entertains.
Curiosity Stream: For People Who Love To Learn
If you’re unfamiliar with Curiosity Stream, think of it as a Netflix for educational content. It was developed by John Hendricks, the man who founded Discovery, Inc, the company behind Discovery Channel, TLC, and Animal Planet. No matter what your field of interest, the service has something for just everyone.
Neatly organized into seven categories, Curiosity Stream offers more than 2,000 documentaries and 900 exclusives. Expect to find some familiar faces in the documentaries, such as David Attenborough, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kristen Bell. Whether you’re interested in learning about UNESCO World Heritage Sites, artificial intelligence, or watching never-before-seen footage from World War II, the service has you covered.
So, what’s currently trending on CuriosityStream? A documentary narrated by Nick Offerman called The History of Home explores how houses developed throughout history, while Man’s Best Friends talks about dogs and their 20,000-year-old friendship with humans.
