We start off today’s episode with a lot of dog chaos, before veering into Harry Potter castings via Sister of the Podcast’s hair. It’s a special episode today, we’re doing a surprise pop quiz today to check in with Laura’s knowledge and understanding of A-Level so far. SPOILERS but not great. Sister of the Podcast, fan favourite, and all-round wonderful human being, joins us for an episode and we have a lovely time. Ron gets a dicky tummy halfway through so starts disappearing for large tracts of time, it’s a late and meandering record. 

Science fun for the whole family except for Grandma and Grandpa, they’d hate this. 

Heads up everyone - it's a weird one!

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger normal brother Ron!

This week is weird... first Laura is away for the introduction so it's solo Ron. He always has a clanky energy about him and this week is no exception. If you like gentle stumbling through nothing - you will love this introduction.

Then there's the lesson... but is there? See Laura and Ron have actually not recorded for three weeks so ACTUALLY there's quite a lot of catching up and a big reveal and then they half study half a sentence.

Then the quiz... well, technically they're both there - they're just not both there together. You'll see when you get there.

Then back to lovely little Ron in a box on his own for the outro.

Even for us - this is a shambles of weird states. We hope you love it.

Viewing discretion is advised, this episode about enzymes and the induced-fit model starts with a 10 minute argument about Laura and Ron’s relationship and how people spend time together and communicate with each other. However, when not squabbling, your favourite podcasters cover good science and have a lovely time. Recorded in a kooky order, it’s an extravaganza of Lexx Ed nonsense. Enjoy!

Laura tells Ron all about the new show coming up called The Paper - set in the world of The Office.

In the lesson there’s a bit more pub quiz to finish off… this time it’s flags!

There’s a huge meandering wander through the tea towel, through Stockholm Syndrome and through reminiscences of Bristol Harbour Festival before they end up anywhere.

It feels like they might veer back into the big argument when Laura requests that Ron return to Bristol for more James Prestwood shenanigans and Ron refuses to commit.

The science when they finally arrive there is Photons. Unfortunately Laura finds it very hard to get started because she’s concentrating so hard on jokes about the word Photon. Packets feature heavily in the desciption of photons etc. Rice. Ever heard light described like rice? Well, you will have by the time you finish this episode.

It’s SUCH a short stop on the science before they’re distracted by several celebrities. Weirdly enough though, it’s Laura that drags them back on topic just in time to squeeze in Max Planck.

They finish off with a nice bit of pre-holiday crossword solving. What more could you ask for?

C-I-T-Y you can see why, these doves the neat doves smart and streetwise. CITY DOVES.

The show begins with Laura have had an hour off and so is in a nice relaxed mood. She's been watching Clarkson's Farm and the science siblings have a quick chat about how it's got a bit stilted lately. Then, they move on to the hot topic of Laura RSVPing to Ron's birthday party.

The actual science is about co-valent bonds yadaa yahda yadda.

A note from Laura: I purposely called her Rosalind Crick to try and infuriate Ron at the end but he didn't notice. He never listens to me. Just wanted to mention that here before I get told off by ole eagle eared listeners!

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! This week featuring a surprise interruption by a meat and fish guy which we've decided to leave in, in a move that prompted Tom to call us "despicable people". So that's nice, isn't it?

The science is enzymes and active sites and all that kind of stuff but the real meat and bones of the potato podcast is the squabbles, the love and the sibling nonsense that you just can't fake. Enjoy!

Cool beans gang, here’s another episode of your favourite ever podcast, Lexx Education. We start off in the realms of new dog chat, we finally conceive Pod Michael Murray, crawl spaces, and then we delve into the misty murks of antimatter whatever the bloody hell that is. 

Fair warning, there’s a lot of ramble about a pub quiz which may or may not become the new Rob Schneider’s The Animal. Plus a surprise return of a fan favourite segment.

💬 Show Notes

Welcome back to another episode of Lexx Education! In this episode, Laura and Ron dive into the whimsical world of science, but not without a detour through the realms of pub quizzes and anagrams. As Ron recounts his recent quiz night adventures, the siblings engage in a lively discussion about the peculiarities of their local pubs, including the delights of Detroit-style pizza.

But fear not, the science is here! This week, they tackle the mind-bending topic of antimatter. What is it? How does it work? And why does it have a connection to the universe's balance? With plenty of laughs and a few tangents along the way, the duo attempts to unravel the mysteries of the subatomic world.

Will Laura manage to grasp the concept of antimatter, or will she get lost in the chaos of their banter? Tune in to find out!

This is the science siblings first lesson recording science before Ron went away to Sweden and Norway and so they’ve had a good month off recording together, so… it takes them a while to get into the meat and bones of the potato party.

It begins with Laura having had some compliments this week and Ron trying to guess what on earth someone might compliment about Laura.

50 bonus Lab Rat points to anyone who gets the Tom Builder reference. There’s a happy return of the famous Laura invented apple sorter before Laura and Ron start reminiscing about the House of Marbles in Newton Abbot. Let us know if you want a special visit episode about the House of Marbles.

Then the subject morphs from marbles to a potential moon tattoo to a pretty graphic discussion of potential tattoos and into junk.

At the 14 minute mark of the episode there’s a feeling like the science is about to start. That feeling is fleeting. It’s so fleeting it’s not even a full fleet it’s a fle.

Suddenly, via a fairly disgruntled person, they’re discussing TaskMaster which is Laura’s favourite new obsession!

You might get a bit confused in the middle because you can’t really hear Tom asking me questions but that’s why I suddenly start having one half of a conversation you can’t hear. Do you enjoy the interruptions from CotP or should we editing more of this out?

I won’t spoil what the quiz is about but it’s nearly as long as the episode. We are so bad at podcasting.

In this episode of Lexx Education, Laura and Ron dive into a whirlwind of chaotic anecdotes, beginning with Laura's dramatic work call that leaves her a quivering mess. Just when you think the conversation might steer towards science, a seagull unexpectedly drops into Laura's garden, leading to a comedic rescue mission that only a true animal whisperer could manage.

As the siblings navigate through their day-to-day lives, they reminisce about their childhood adventures and the oddities of family life, including a hilarious discussion about their old family projects. The episode takes a delightful turn as they explore the possibility of getting matching tattoos and the quirks of their pets, all while dodging the elusive topic of actual science.

With a quiz that spirals into a Taskmaster-themed trivia challenge, Laura showcases her pop culture knowledge, proving she might just be a master of the absurd. Expect laughter, unexpected tangents, and the usual banter that makes Lexx Education a joy to listen to.

Wow look at that, another episode of Lexx Education! We kick off discussing Laura’s trip back from New Zealand and all of her whack film decisions. Science is barely mentioned before the first tangent rears its ugly head. When the science eventually does happen it is some of its most fractious science to date. But to be fair to Ron, Laura is thick. We’re covering ionic bonding today, which isn’t what we were supposed to be covering but… you’ll see why.

As they settle into the topic, Ron attempts to guide Laura through the complexities of ionic and covalent bonds, but not without their usual banter and comedic missteps. From discussing the structure of ionic lattices to the challenges of remembering key chemistry concepts, this episode is packed with laughs and learning. Expect a few unexpected references to pop culture, including a spirited debate about the merits of various films watched during long-haul flights.

And while they may not stick strictly to the syllabus, rest assured that the science is there, nestled within the chaos of their sibling rivalry and culinary experiments.
