  • E51 PERFUME

    Simon is on the scent of facts. Bruce is a bit whiffy.


    Perfume has existed since the first chemists in Ancient Egypt. In this episode, we examine its constituents, uses, celebrity endorsements, and the reason why perfumes smell different on different people.

  • E50 PIPES
    Pipes are everywhere. You're probably never more than a few metres from one. In this episode, we explore the ins and outs of pipes of all kinds. From ones that make music, through ones that deliver substances and materials, to ones that make you cough. Pipes have been around for a very long time and continue to deliver.

  • E49 WASPS
    Not many people like wasps, and when you learn more about them, their reproduction can be a bit gross. But they're every bit as useful as bees. And there are ways to avoid being annoyed by them. Go to the blog to find out how. https://www.factoraly.com/blog

  • E48 SMELLS


    We take our sense of smell for granted until it's taken away from us by, oh, I don't know... a global pandemic? Smell is very important, not just for us but for every animal with an olfactory bowl. This episode goes into some detail on the weirder side of a sniff.

  • E47 POLICE
    Even if we never engage with the Police personally, we see their exploits and results in the news and all over TV in fiction. And we inevitably hear their sirens when going about our business. This episode is all about the boys and girls in blue (or black these days), their history and their time travelling boxes.

  • E46 BATHTUBS
    Bathtubs aren't something that most of us spend a lot of time thinking about. Unless you're remodelling a home, you probably don't even think about the noble bath. But it's hard to beat a tub as a place for winding down, cleaning up, and generally finding a sense of well-being. This time, we go into the history of the tub, its use over the ages, and why you would want to spend vast amounts of money on one. As always, click on the pics to go down inescapable plugholes.

  • E45 CAMELS
    Camels are the most amazing creatures. Designed for their habitat, they store water in their blood, fat in their hump (so they don't sweat much), and can carry large loads and run like the wind. This episode explores the beauty (literally in one case) of the design of the camel.

  • E44 SECRETS

    We almost made it to 30 minutes, but it's a fascinating subject and worth the extra six minutes!


    Secrets have been around forever, and we barely scratch the surface in this episode.


    However, as we scratch, we uncover a whole realm of subcutaneous facts that will surprise and delight you.

  • E43 PIRATES
    Being a pirate seems so romantic. Someone who refuses to follow the well-beaten shipping lanes and goes their own way. And that's kind of true. Except for the death and destruction... This episode looks at the body that clothes the Jolly Roger (see the episode on Flags) and what happens beyond the parrot and eyepatch. (Sounds like a pub!)
