Frenzied and Sustained

In this week’s podcast for a post stupid society our Brainy Lecture looks at the particle with multiple personality disorder - the neutrino and that forces us to relive the quantum strangeness that we first encountered in Episode 2. We encounter the least practical of all hats when we consider the surprisingly popular Bearskin and learn that it is part of the Uniform of 14 countries’ armies. 

In Songs under the microscope we compare the legal prowess of various recording artists and we beg them to stop confessing to crimes.

Our sauce is the  extraordinarily wonderful Cep Coulis.

We have our anagram poetry section that we call A Grayer tampon, or Panama Grey Rot, or Mangy Port area. 

In Literally the Last section we have a totally unrepentant murderous dinosaur who is mystified why society won’t forgive his reign of terror on the basis that being murdery is in his nature.

Our Brainy Lecture finally looks at dark energy, the mysterious  force that suddenly started accelerating the expansion of the universe and unless it stops we are heading for the Big Split.  Our hat of the week is the Ushanka. This may be my favourite sauce to date, Sauce Albert with fresh horseradish root to enliven your beef.  This week’s songs under microscope uses music theory to show that Paul McCartney was ill advised in his use of metaphors in Ebony and Ivory.  In literally the last section we investigate the dystopian totalitarian nightmare that is Thomas the Tank Engine and demonstrate why Tony Soprano was a much better boss than the Fat Controller.

Our Brainy Lecture looks at the wiggly jiggly world of superstring theory and we ask whether a whole generation of physicist have just wasted their lives. We turn our attentions and saucepans to a Cider Beurre Blanc. This week’s song under microscope considers the enduring charm of Polly Put The Kettle on and examine what exactly has kept this infusion centric ditty in the charts for the last two hundred years. That gets us thinking about the whole canon of gruesome english language nursery rhymes.  In literally the last section we investigate how words enter the english language. We also look at the body image issues and the glorification of binge eating  in the blockbuster book by Eric Carl, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

This week's Brainy Lecture looks at Dark matter and we are made to feel insignificant when we find out that the known universe is down to  0.6% of the total. We try and cheer ourselves up with Bob Dylan's poultry themed song, Lay Lady Lay before Bruno Mars makes us feel sad again. Then we get happy once more as we contemplate the Asian Conical hat and our sweet and sour red pepper sauce. In Literally the Last section we find several Shakespeare works that are in contravention of common HR practices.

Our Brainy Lecture peers into black holes and encounters Spaghettification, but no fear, as with any pasta based cosmological encounter we have a bonus sauce for the occasion. In our songs under the microscope we probably read way more into Rupert Holmes's lyrics than is probably sensible, but it does seem that Mozart ripped off the song for his own Cosi Fan Tutti. In A Sauce, A sauce, my kingdom for a sauce we make the simple yet stunning Red Pepper Sabayon and we uncover a medical theory to Explain Tintin's perpetual youth and lack of interest with women.

This week's episode looks at the nature of time, whether the past and future are as real as the present, can it be changed  and why does Foreigner want it to 'Feel like the First Time.' This episode is grudgingly sponsored by a racist breakfast cereal and in Literally the Last Section we see how  broom flying at Hogwarts fits into the 2016 Civil Aviation Air Navigation Order.

Our Brainy lecture looks at Einstein's General Relativity and shows that mass slows down time, and it is slowed time gives us the illusion of gravity. We make a decidedly next level Béchamel source by inverting it. Yes, even our sauces seem to defy the arrow of time in this podcast. We finally resolve the Clash's dilemma as to whether they should stay or go. We also help out the Government by starting to rename towns and things that are no longer new but keep referring to themselves as such. We put Billy Rae Cyrus's Achy Breaky Heart under the microscope.

We explore the bizarre world of Quantum Entanglement and break cause and effect and annoy Einstein. We make a mushroom velouté, analyse the Monkees' 1966 hit Last Train To Clarksville and analyse Victor Hugo's Les Miserables and ask if Javert was crime fighting superstar or work-shy fop.

The Brainy Lecture looks at things in the universe that travel faster than the speed of light. 
Literally the Last section considers the word 'impede' and brings back its long lost brother 'expede'
We have a very excellent recipe for a chilli tomato sauce 
We audit Paul Simon's 50 ways to leave your number and uncover the chilling truth that he only provided between 4 and 6. We help make up the shortfall.
