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 non-comedian science loving younger brother Ron! Ron didn't make any episode notes for this, our 99th episode and when I messaged him to ask him what it was about so I could write this he said "Biology, selective breeding - we don't get much done at all. Basically just talk about cabbage and broccoli." I think for the nine millionth time he talks...

This week on the podcast... Ron talks us through how to make hummus, Laura and Ron discuss food for a long time - must have been a lunch record. But they don’t eat anything in the episode so that’s good. We almost get on to the science but then Laura befuddles us again with a discussion of mind casting. We cover a summary of energy sources: wind power, solar power, and then things get a bit derailed when Laura devises a theory that tidal and wave power are both lunar power due to the moon...

So here we go, we're entering another redo. Laura's fingers and wandering brain have struck again and the episode that was Identifying Common Gases only exists somewhere in the deleted file realm. Perhaps one day a science will exist that can find it but it is not this idea. SO, in lieu of that, the buff siblings from Somerset have re-recorded (corded?) and here present the exact same science again but this time with a lot more bickering and an absolute storm of extra banter that in no way...

It's Awards Season babaayyyyy... and does this episode win the award for shortest time from starting to the first person being told to go f**k themselves? It might do! Laura has been an arse lately and this episode really reflects Laura and Ron's bitterest feelings about each other. It's DNA and inheritance and stuff and is the last episode for a while that is not a redo so enjoy!

Hey up everyone it's Lexx Education! This week Laura has a very shiny moisturised face and the effects of the advent calendar are discussed in detail but Ron fails to finish the round up. Shout out to Will Duggan and his water flosser. We're looking at 6.6.2.3 for the numbers fans and it’s got the energy of two people killing time waiting for a bus, rather than two people in charge of running a science podcast that could be full of content. This week is heavily featuring dog of the podcast...

We begin with some musical chat and for once it’s Ron procrastinating because it’s him that doesn’t want to get onto the science. Laura gets worried about a possible tricko seed being planted but Ron insists she won’t see it coming. They try their best to discuss every subject on the planet (including the death of Princess Diana) before finally getting round to chatting about chemical analysis.
