Wendover Productions is the edutainment empire built by Sam Denby out of Aspen, Colorado. What started in 2015 as a one-person YouTube channel about how airlines route planes has metastasized into a multi-channel studio, a hit travel-competition show (Jet Lag: The Game), and a creator-owned streaming service (Nebula) where Denby now serves as Chief Content Officer. The throughline: take logistics, geography, and economics and make them feel like a thriller.
