How the Higgs Mechanism Give Things Mass
PBS Space Time
A PBS Space Time episode on how the Higgs mechanism gives particles mass, prompted by Fermilab's heavier-than-expected W boson measurement. It goes beyond the usual pop-science treatment without heavy math.
HN recommends it as the best non-mathematical explanation of the Higgs field, deep but accessible to lay viewers.
