Description

Fascinators is a show about the wonderful, weird and sometimes puzzling things that fascinate us. Each episode, father and son duo Ken and Evan Atkinson explore the histories, concepts and stories that fascinate them. Find out why Santa Claus is buried in New York City, why every film director eventually wants to make a Pinocchio movie, why no one is really sure why there are 52 cards in a deck and so much more!
