Are pandas real? Well, one wild conspiracy theory says they’re not. On the surface, it sounds as ridiculous as believing that space is fake. After all, we see pandas in the wild, right? (But HAS anyone actually seen a panda in the wild?) Well, the more Edge of Wonder looked into this, the weirder and stranger it got. This isn’t as black and white as we expected it to be. Why aren't there any ancient drawings of pandas, and why does it seem they’re only found in one very small place in China?
Why was the first verifiable reference to a panda only in the late 1860s? Were they killed off? Join Ben and Rob on this Edge of Wonder Live show as they look deeper into this to ask the question, “Where do pandas come from?” Also going on this China theme, the Chinese Communist Party is having massive problems from missing ministers and party officials to signs of corruption and economic downfalls. Is something far darker that anyone knows happening behind the scenes in China? At the end of the show, don’t miss the live Q&A followed by a mediation/prayer only on Rise.TV. See you out on the edge!
