    Ep 6: Phone Experiences

    Ep 6: Phone Experiences

    Lucy and Sam get on the blower to some of their most powerful allies. It's important to go scroll through all of your contacts and ask people for money every now and again. One day people will be horrified that we put our phones in pockets and bags when they're not being used. This will be considered barbaric. Everyone's phone will have its own little house.

    Ep 5: The Kingdom of Animals

    Lucy and Sam blag on about God’s finest creations, the critters that he sent to this world to calm us down. No animals were harmed in this episode but they were discussed AT LENGTH.
    Thank you so much. Please put headphones on your pet and make them listen to this episode and let us know how they react.

    Ep 4: Year Delve

    Ep 4: Year Delve

    Lucy and Samuel have created different systems to record every year that they've been alive. In this sort-of-special episode they take turns blindly choosing different years and discussing them in almost frightening detail. It's called a year delve.

    Ep 3: Split the Diff

    Ep 3: Split the Diff

    Lucy must keep her wits about her as she competes on a potentially fatal new game show. Sam is pulling the strings, but can he keep hold of the harp?
    Even just four or five years ago, people like this wouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a podcast. Things are changing.

    Ep 1: The Face

    Ep 1: The Face

    Have you got FIRST EPISODE FEVER or what??? Lucy B and Samuel C throw caution to the wind and begin their podcast with a highly complex study of the human face. They analyze each feature in shocking depth, beginning with the bits at the top and working their way right down to the chin and they don't go off on a single tangent. Only listen to this if you are operating heavy machinery please.

Reviewer0B12 ,

As funny as it is short

The episodes are less than 30 minutes long and they keep getting shorter. If you subtract the ads, website promo, sound effects, and the intro/outro, Episode 1 had ~44 minutes of talking while Episode 6 had ~26 minutes.

The average podcast is usually about 1 hour long (for better or worse, in terms of quality). While the edited-down style of Perfect Brains helps maintain a certain level of quality, it's still a bit too short. I think 45-minute episodes would be a good compromise.

O Rat ,

Yes.

I’m often wary of ‘banter’ style podcasts but these two are absolutely hilarious and have a fantastic rapport. A delectable of structured chaos.

Nat_Emma ,

Hilarious!!!

A must listen for a pick me up anytime of the day. Sam and Lucy, you’re brilliant. Keep it coming!!!
