Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education: the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her normal brother Ron.

This week we start with a bit of funeral procession etiquette, during which Ron finds it ridiculous how Laura functions in the world.

We then get back to electrolysis and specifically the electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. There's an element of hysteria about trying to define a metal - soemthing Ron swears they have covered ad nauseum and Laura swears is just nauseum. Then the periodic table is a sandcastle and nobody really knows why. Anyway, enjoy!
