Little Dot Studios has launched The Maths of Everything, a new YouTube channel and podcast fronted by Rachel Riley, Advanced Television reported on October 27, 2026. The show explains the maths behind everyday life and is built to run all year, with one episode a week for 52 weeks.
The format mixes a 30 minute explainer with guest interviews. Explainer topics named at launch include space travel, nature, ancient history and fast food. The launch partner is National Numeracy, the UK charity that works on everyday maths confidence. Little Dot Studios runs a network of more than 250 social channels, and the show is one of its original format bets for 2026.
WHY IT MATTERS: A 52 week commission is a statement about how video podcasting is now scheduled. Little Dot is treating the show like an always on channel rather than a short series, with a public service partner attached from day one. Education formats with a trusted presenter and a weekly habit are exactly what platforms are short of.
The Maths of Everything is live now on YouTube and podcast platforms, with new episodes weekly.
Announcement date: October 27, 2026
