Retrieved 2015-09-09.〕 ==Details== ''Up to Speed'' is a six-episode travel show produced by Magikal History Productions exclusively for Hulu.〔("The Ancient Craft of Tour-Guiding" ) ''New Yorker''. Retrieved 2015-09-09.〕 It is hosted by the quirky New York tour guide Timothy "Speed" Levitch who takes viewers on a "magical history tour" in order to “hang out and empathize with the inner psyches of famous landmarks and visit with the monumentally ignored monuments.” Each episode seeks to highlight places, people, things, and monuments that are usually overlooked by the average tourist in lieu of the more known sites. Visiting San Francisco, Kansas, New York City, Chicago, and Monticello/University of Virginia Levtich narrates the history of each object and includes a broader history of the time so viewers can understand its importance. Besides highlighting little known monuments, the other aspect that makes Up to Speed different is that Levitch converses with each monument, asking them questions about their role in history and their feelings about current developments. Each of these items speaks back to Speed with a unique and often equally quirky personality, some even going so far to yell profanities at him. Each episode is written by Levitch and is infused with his unique poetic language and philosophies such as: "Status quo only begets more status quo unless we as a species attack it by way of appreciating the beauty in the unexpected" and "Instead of asking why, ask why the fuck not?” Levitch ends each episode performing with a band and freestyle singing about the monuments highlighted in that episode. These factors have made it a fan favorite on Hulu earning it a four star viewer rating and many positive reviews. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Up to Speed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
