Mitch and Tom inspect bad science this week! What are some examples of misconceptions that people have about scientific research and how did it arise? How does “bad” science get published and what are the mechanisms in place to stop it from happening again in the future? Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom take their love of food under the microscope this week! How do we get the things we need to live from food? Mitch takes us through taste and how we perceive different flavours while Tom leads the way on the digestive process. We rarely consider the cultural impact that food technology has on human history but today that gets changed! Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom turn to look fear right in the eyes this week! What is fear and where does it come from? Is it deep-rooted and innate or is it something we come to learn? Tom takes us through past experiments on fear while Mitch updates us on the fight or flight response and how it impacts our body and minds! Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom return this week to take you into the dream world and see what awaits us there! Tom takes you through the various stages of sleep and the brain activity associated with them while Mitch explains exactly what happens when you sleep. How much sleep is too much? How much is too little? Why do we even dream in the first place? Find out here! Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom are BACK! This week they are tackling the topic of allergies! Why is your body overreacting to things like pollen and various food items? The boys take you through the most common allergies, how allergies are acquired, how the body reacts when it detects foreign material, and how antihistamines work! Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom continue on their cosmic saga this week by taking a look at Astrobiology! Mitch returns to talk about the Sun and the associated weather it creates in space. How important are solar flares and coronal mass ejections and how do they impact us? Next the boys look at astrobiology and the umbrella of fields it encompasses. What is the origin of life and how is it studied and what do cosmic ecologists do?! Music: EVA - 失望した

Mitch and Tom are back with their adventures in the cosmos! This week they are asking the question: Where are the aliens?  Mitch outlines some of the most important theories to help answer this question in the form of the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox while Tom imparts theories explaining the absence of our extraterrestrial friends such as The Great Filter hypothesis. The boys explore the organisations such as METI and SETI whose job it is to find the answers! Music: EVA - 失望した

Join Mitch and Tom this week as they continue with their exploration of space! This week they are trying to understand the planets themselves! Tom takes us on a tour of the inner planets, asteroid belt, and outer planets. Mitch focuses his attention closer to home and runs through the various theories of how the moon came to be and its effect on us here on Earth! The boys round out the show astounded by scientists of the past calculating astronomical sizes correctly! Music: EVA - 失望した

Join Mitch and Tom as they start a four-part cosmic adventure to help you understand everything there is to know about SPACE! In the first episode the boys keep it close to home exploring the fundamental workings of gravity, how our Sun formed and functions, and of course… CONKERS! Music: EVA - 失望した

Join Mitch and Tom this week as they explore the science behind Formula 1! With the new season underway Tom took this as an opportunity to shoehorn his interests onto Mitch so that they can try and explain one of the most fundamental concepts in racing: Aerodynamics. Mitch gives us a tour of the F1 world before the boys dive into the fundamental concepts and measurements of aerodynamics and air flow. Mitch explains how planes gain lift from their wings while Tom explains the new aerodynamic regulations being enforced in the latest seasons. Music: EVA - 失望した
