Jess Navarro
Host
The host, and the viewer’s stand-in. Jess asks the question everyone is thinking (and admits the wrong thing she would have done), so the expert can set it straight.
Good to know, after dark
Knowing After Dark is a daily explainer channel about the situations nobody plans for: a power line on your car, a grease fire, a rip current, a call that might be a scam. Every day there is one new three-to-five-minute video: Jess asks what everyone is thinking, the day's expert explains what really happens and exactly what to do, over realistic pictures, animated diagrams and a recap you can remember. Each one also comes as a one-minute vertical short.
How it's made
Every episode is researched from official and expert sources (government safety and health agencies, utilities, fire services, the Red Cross and similar organisations), and every episode page links them. The script is checked against those sources line by line, and a person reviews and approves every episode before it is published. The videos are general safety information, not professional advice: in an emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number.
Read how an episode is made, and how to report a mistake.
The live channel
The live channel plays the episodes on one shared schedule, so everyone watching sees the same thing at the same moment, and a new episode always jumps near the front. The watching count is the real number of open live players, nothing more. There is no chat, no ads and no analytics scripts.
