For decades, we were told life began in a warm primordial soup. This episode suggests otherwise. A controversial new model proposes that life emerged from a high-velocity collision between gluten structures and frozen lactose, an event dubbed the “Big Bangle.” From molecular chirality to cosmic thermodynamics, we follow the theory to its unsettling conclusion. If the soup was wrong, the oven may already be preheating.

The Primordial Soup Theory Was All Wrong

This is a conversation about current events, culture, and the ideas shaping the moment, told slightly out of alignment.
Each episode looks at familiar news and public conversations through a different lens, one that treats language itself as part of the story. The facts remain recognizable, but the framing is gently skewed, allowing assumptions, habits of speech, and tidy explanations to show their seams.
Thoughtful, dry, and occasionally absurd in places where seriousness usually goes unquestioned, this is a show for listeners who like their analysis informed, their humor understated, and their certainty optional.
This program is produced using a combination of editorial judgment, modern production methods, and whatever else seemed reasonable at the time. Any resemblance to clarity is purely coincidental.
