- About Maths: This episode will teach you more than school ever did
What are numbers ? When was zero invented? And how does a man end up calculating pi on the moon? Joe and Tom speak to stand-up mathematician, Matt Parker, who explores the weird and wonderful world of maths. He explains how he was voluntarily bitten by a bullet out in the name of numbers and helps us understand why kids think maths is boring. This episode will show you, that it really isn't.
Plus he's taking us to the moon! Sort of.
Love Triangle: The Life-changing Magic of Trigonometry by Matt Parker is now available in paperback.

57 min - Classic About Archaeologists: Did the lost city of Atlantis actually exist?
In this classic episode, archaeologist Raksha Dave takes Joe and Tom deep into the fascinating world of archaeology, which, to Joe's dismay, has nothing to do with dinosaurs. With experience excavating sites across the globe, Raksha answers our burning questions about Tutankhamun, car park discoveries, the science of "garbology," and what to do if you stumble across an ancient artefact in your garden.
Plus, Joe faces the crushing truth that the lost city of Atlantis never existed (probably).

43 min - About Conductors: Where are the biggest egos in the orchestra?
Enyi is potentially the coolest conductor we've ever seen. Which isn't a huge compliment, because we've not seen many. But he is very cool, and he is a conductor (the music type, not the train type).
He teaches us about the various swish and flick motions he uses to direct the audience, how he chooses his baton and who are the biggest egos in an orchestra. And it seems like Joe, is a natural at conducting?!
