What if an apple never fell on Isaac Newton's head and he never came up with Gravity?
Join us as we take special guest historical vandal, Cardiff-based physicist and stand-up comic Ollie Edwards, on a joyride through alternative history. Armed with a suspiciously oversized time-travel watch, Ollie dials back to 1666 Lincolnshire to intercept a falling apple — and stop it from bonking the world’s biggest nerd, Isaac Newton, on the head.
After seeing great success putting Newton on a Harley and arming him with a taper fade and a trundle wheel, we focus our attention on the consequences of his loss from the physics world.
Along the way we talk:
🍎 Which show would be the biggest loss for the UK comedy scene without the clout of the Cambridge Footlights
💅 Whether the cold war powers ever just rang for a chat
🧠 Whether Jesus would buy us a round of beers
PS: If you’ve been enjoying the pod so far, please follow, rate us 5 stars, and tell your mates - it takes two seconds but it keeps our time machine running!
