What it is

You fell for Connor Tomlinson on Netflix’s Love on the Spectrum. Now he’s going to make you fall in love with history. Each week, Connor and co-host Carter Roy dig up three facts so unbelievable you’ll want to fact-check them (go ahead, we did). Why the movie Jaws almost never happened. The scandals history tried to forget. The accidental discoveries that changed everything. The real stories behind the songs stuck in your head. Carter sets the scene. Connor steals the show. New episodes every Wednesday. Follow now. What the Fact with Connor Tomlinson and Carter Roy is a Rewind Original, powered by PAVE Studios. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
