A Fond Farewell

It's with heavy hearts that we're announcing the end of Origin of Everything. Thank you to all of our curious viewers who have explored the light-hearted and hilarious as well as the grim but incredibly important histories that define our world. While we won't be making any new videos, the channel will remain up. Please continue to learn from and share these resources as we all work to better understand the world around us!

Special thanks to all of our patrons over the years!

Origin of Everything is a show about the undertold histories and cultural dialogues that make up our collective story. From the food we eat, to the trivia and fun facts we can’t seem to get out of our heads, to the social issues we can’t stop debating, everything around us has a history. Origin of Everything is here to explore it all. We like to think that no topic is too small or too challenging to get started.

Hey Originauts!

Thanks for all of your really kind words and well wishes. They're warming my heart (and making my eyes tear up). You are truly the best part of making this show. I'm wishing you a wonderful holiday season and an awesome new year!

Peace,

Danielle

Oh this sucks!! This program was so informative. Will be missed

[Evelynfromtheinternets]

Danielle, you are a frikkin STAR. This show has been a light during a time when facts and context is hard to come by. The show has made us all more knowledgeable and thoughtful about the world/people around us. Thank you!!

[mihihihi]

I watch several of the PBS shows, and I love them all, but this one is by far the best. Danielle is the best, and the content on this show was so relevant and useful. This is exactly the sort of show we need in these times. Poor decision, PBS!

[awesomedez]

All the best to wherever the road takes you next!

[vicfirth]

Please know that I will be using these videos in my classes for a very long time. Thanks so much.

[Zoltar]

With the way the world is changing so fast we need to know our history and how things got this way. We need you and this concept amplified not on hiatus or canceled. 💔

[dariushertzog]

You’ve informed so many of my classes and colleagues this series will be missed! 🙏🏾✨

[anoldhagdeux]

Im sad now because I just found your channel this year... I hope you all the best in your future endeavors. I will continue to support you in your future projects 💝

[theprotegedc]

Why😭😭😭 I’m going to miss this show so much! You can hear the sadness in her voice 🥺

[truedadof]

Okay so how much money do you guys/gals need? I'll start a GoFundMe

[hippygirl]

For what it's worth I did pick this channel as one I wanted to see more of when the annual PBS survey came up. I'm a bit disappointed but most series do come to an end eventually even if this one feels premature.

[sharonw]

Oh no! I have only just found you tonight! I'll continue to look through your videos and educate myself 😁 thank you and good luck in your future endeavors xx

[Jekyllhyde]

This is sad, I just found this channel a month or two ago. Hopefully, the channel is still up so I can stream through the content. Best of luck on future endeavors you guys!!

[magovenor]

Lady, as an older black man I enjoyed not only the content and most of the subjects, but most of all your well prepared and professional conduct. So kudos to your team also.

[WalksWithoutWords]

Saddest like I've ever had to give.

[vintageortacky]

This has been one of my fave channels. Hope to see you soon elsewhere!

[islandgyrl]

I have grown up on PBS and got my own son turned on to it. This has been by far one of my most favorite series. You have fed my thirst for learning. Thank you for keeping your content available to us. I wish you all the best and will keep my eyes open for your next chapter. You will be missed!
