Hello,

We're excited to tell you about a new Vox podcast that launched today: Explain it to Me is your go-to hotline for all the complicated questions you don't know how to find answers for.

Each episode will start with a listener question, ranging from the heavy to the silly, from the systemic to the personal. Hosted by former Weeds host Jonquilyn Hill, the show will feature expert guests and do a deep dive into the issue, combining accessible conversation with deep reporting to arrive at an answer.

And it's not just a show you listen to — it's a show you help make. Like everything Vox does, we're making this show with you, our audience, very much in mind. And we want your questions! Take a listen to the first episode:

Is my dentist scamming me?

There's a reason why going to the dentist can feel so shady.
