S3 Ep 26Classic Manosphere

E

Pencils up Lab Rats it's lesson time!With lipids finally in the rear view mirror Ron brings out a whole new set of dullsville facts and presents them to Laura. This week proteins. It sure does feel like we've done all this before, doesn't it?Laura does really well in this episode and Ron is incredibly ungrateful about it.

S3 Ep 25More Fish Good Heart

E

Some audio issues today and sorry about that! Laura is fizzy from workout and Ron sometimes is a robot. The gang delay and delay before finally getting into the Lipids quiz so they can finally move on from the oily quagmire of this topic.Sorry for it being out slightly late, Ron edited on a train and then completely forgot to upload when he arrived at his destination!

S3 Ep 24Religion’s Being All Boo Hiss

E

Welcome back to Lexx Education everyone! We hope you're on the brink of a startling good week, and we're here to spur you on to greater things with a very good episode all about the perils of being a woman in Elizabethan England!We make a startling revelation about being a woman in the 21st Century and then we move on to whether or not Elizabeth I was a unicorn or not. We talk property laws for Elizabethan women, we talk education. We look at being a normal woman and being a high society woman and discuss how either way you lived you were between a rock and a hard place in terms of female restriction.We discuss the way Henry VIII had properly rocked the boat for even being a Queen, and then we get distracted by matchstick girls for a while.Mostly though, we're on topic, focused and having a good time. And we have the lack of science to thank for that.

S3 Ep 25Blue Gum Gully!

E

It’s an impromptu Australia episode, but Laura can’t make up her small and silly mind about exactly what she wants to talk about, and no matter how Ron tries to do it, he’s down it wrong.Get ready to listen to Ron do research while they are talking things through, Laura hasn’t researched anything but Ron isn’t allowed. Don’t know how that’s fair.Anyway, weird ep, hope you like it, it’s probably good!Join the Patreon!!

S3 Ep 22Business in London

E

Welcome back to Lexx Education you beautiful little rats! We hope you've had a busy business week... welcome to the space to relax in a little bundle of siblingness. This week Ron has been wedding venue scouting and Laura is trying to do one thing at a time. They are both equally excited about what they're up to. Laura can upload files without complications and Ron is sharing his life with the woman he loves.This episode has the beginnings of Laura’s obsession with Slow Horses… be prepared for this to probably come up quite a lot over the next few months. Obviously it's a brilliant show but let's face it - Laura is in it for the fart jokes isn't she?Laura is prepping for leaving for Australia… which might feel odd for people currently following her on social media but obviously because we’re such organised beans we’re a few episodes ahead in recording. Aren't you stunned?As for the science. It's clubnuggets.

S3 Ep 21Churlish Boy Moments

E

Welcome to a new episode of Lexx Education, Ron and Laura have caught up recently so while, much like Brussels where Ron lives, there’s a lot of waffle, it’s not particularly interesting waffle. Coughs, animal hair, car repairs, it’s all in the waffle. We have a couple of false starts when it comes to actually getting into the nuts and seeds of the podcast. Unfortunately, we then squabble a lot while just going through what the lesson is going to be covering, before we even go through the millimetre of science that we cover win this episode.

S3 Ep 20Horny For Boleyns

E

Welcome back to Lexx Education!It's a history week on Lexx Ed and so Laura is in the teacher's chair getting Ron all knowledgeable about Lizzy 1.Except, it's Lexx Education, so things go gleefully off the rails almost as soon as they've begun. Ron introduces a new segment: ASMR. Let's see how long this lasts for. They have the usual start to the show of chat and catch up and then just as the history is supposed to begin full force Ron gets utterly distracted by a false childhood memory that he must solve right here right now on your time. Spoiler: it's been skilfully edited by Laura to sound better than it was but you need to understand how long this research took.Then Ron goes into a bit of a sulk but it does leave space for us to find out about the many difficulties faced by Elizabeth I during her reign as Queen of England.

S3 Ep 18I’m A Wooden Trap

E

Are there poops in your pants that you do enjoy the feel of... that's where this episode starts. There are portions of it where it really, really tries to be science and then there are portions of it that remain Lexx Education.in this episode you will find: much discussion of The Lord of the Rings, a small amount of adipose tissue discussion before a Dire Straits shaped tangent. A little bit about metabolic water and then an argument about zshuzh and the scarecrow from Bob the Builder and a discussion of trail mix and different nuts/seeds before a final comment on fats and why they work and what they're for. Enjoy!

S3 Ep 19Pretty Good Squirrel

E

Interesting start to this weeks episode ngl folks… it starts with a long, rambling description of upcoming changes to Laura’s house. This then really quickly devolves into an argument abut Christmas gifts.Holy shit there’s a lot of waffle at the top of this ep. Through meandering routes. Then. There is the briefest flash of science before Laura ABSOLUTELY LOSES IT. She goes completely insane. Pretty good squirrel.PLEASE take a look at the Patreon, it's where we do our best work. Live shows, watch alongs, play throughs, the lot! https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation

S3 Ep 16All in the Shoo and Not in the Ralph

E

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy, normal, younger brother Ron!This week Ron is a little under the weather but Laura is good so we went ahead with the podcast anyway. This week we are carrying on with fatty acids... or at least, we are briefly until Ron has a massive sneezing fit and interrupts the proceedings for a good five minutes.Obviously, the meander back to the science and you'll be surprised to hear it actually becomes a pretty good science lesson for a little while as they look at trans and cis fats, saturated and unsaturated fats and how to break down a triglyceride.Thanks as ever to our wonderful band of patrons - we couldn't keep this going without you and we're very glad you enjoy our particular brand of nonsense.

S3 Ep 15The Rest Might Be History

E

History time again folks! And we’re talking about the royal court. It’s an early record, with an ill Ron and a semi-patient Laura. Ron is quiet and Laura is cross, but we’re having a lovely time learning more and more about Elizabeth and her mates. What makes a court? What happened to croquet? What’s an earl? Why were the Tudors so shaky beans? Who was banging who and why? Shitties?But anyway, none of that matters - join the Patreon for the start of “Gilmore Me Softly With This Pod” featuring Laura-lai and Ronry, the Meganfly Inn and Mr Tom. No explanation needed.https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation

S3 Ep 14Ticking Time Bum

E

Oh you'd better believe it's low energy this week! Sure, there's been no break in the podcast going out but there's been a beefy gap in records and you can feel that recalcitrant energy in every syllabus of the science siblings' inability to be enthused about triglycerol. Enjoy at your peril!

Especially this episode to get started. Wowee, we ramble a lot before any science is done. But that’s okay, we’re still finishing off the mince pies and loving life at this point. Somewhat on theme for the time though, we’re talking about fat though! Briefly. And then we’re talking about Lisa Frank, the holidays, and being attacked by medical doctors.Welcome back to science gang, it’s misty here.

S3 Ep 12Merry Christmas From Two Anxious Fucks

E

Merry Christmas you parthenogenic animals!This week we have birthed you a very topical episode all about the most festive thing you can imagine: virgin births!This week Ron and Laura explore the concept of parthenogenesis and have a look at some ways of procreating that are non-typical compared to most species on the planet.We wish you a very merry Christmas - what better way to get in the spirit than with some weird lizard babies and a shark that runs a library and how could we possibly let you enter Christmas week without dragging poor old Matthew McConaughey back into the fray.

S3 Ep 11Thick In Weird Ways - Elf Maths Christmas Special

E

In a cool and unusual Christmas episode your favourite science buddies are chatting through the logistics of running your own toy factory in the North Pole. Laura has her hard hat on, and her clipboard ready, as she fills the role of foreman for the Pole while Ron feeds her wild and whacky decisions into a special spreadsheet that he made to calculate the numbers.What Christmas obviously needs more of is spreadsheets, because nothing says Merry Christmas like a Match Index function.More Christmas next week as well so plough through the advent calendar, open the eggnog and have a lovely time with Lexx Education.

S3 Ep 10The Lait Homme

E

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy, normal younger brother Ron!It’s the last proper lesson of term before they have a little festive distraction piece with some end of term Christmas episodes. With that in mind, Ron has planned some revision to make sure that what Laura has so far learned in A Level 2.0 has actually gone in.Obviously Laura’s not that keen to get to the meat and bones of the potato podcast so there’s an awful lot of delay before they get to the quiz. They cover malicious animals, tongues and cuisine (including soup) and then round it off with a good summation of Matthew Mcconaughey street cum ethics and possibilities.Once they’re into the quiz the laughter stops and the grumps begin. With a proper actual strop in the middle from Laura and the tersest of terse voices from Ron.

S3 Ep 9We’re Not Talking About Snakkenbourg

E

We start off on rocky haircuts and the Tate Britain, before a delightful segue into our second history lesson! Last time we covered Henry the Eighth to do the build up to Lizzie 1 and now we’re on to the lass herself Elizabeth the 1st of England. England! Engerlaaaand! Again, there is a sense of lovely harmony in the history lessons. No need to scrap. It’s almost Christmas time! Get ready for nonsense there. And hey! Why not sign up for the Patreon if you haven’t already. If you’ve read this far then you’re clearly a little freak for us so why not, it’s dead cheap and good craic.

S3 Ep 8The Peak of The Hump

E

So, to begin with Laura is having some bathroom light trouble. This trouble is exacerbated by the fact that Laura is short. Fast forward just a couple of minutes a few tangents and suddenly the science siblings are investigating the history of the Philippines. You work out how and why.Anyway, hello and welcome to Lexx Education the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron.This week is the last instalment on sugars before they revise everything that’s been covered.

S3 Ep 6Glizzy Fizzy Spaghetti Diet

E

Hello and welcome to another spectacular episode of Lexx Education! It's the cult classic comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy normal younger brother Ron!It all started way back in the day when pesky Ron moved to Brussels and Laura was worried she'd miss him and he'd stop talking to her so she forced him to start a podcast. Cut to over 3 years later and they're still here chundering their way through the world of science and sibling arguments.This week on the podcast there is minimal enthusiasm but Laura finds a reserve of hot dog energy and uses it to create a convoluted metaphor for saccharides that revolves around chariot racing. It's wild ride but some real retro zshush. We hope you love it...

S3 Ep 5To Stop and Stay Stopped

E

S3 Ep 3Sticky Stick Poodles

E

It’s another season 3 episode, and yet again, we are picking up biology from where we left it last week. We’re building, growing, we’re living and learning. It’s glucose again, alpha vs beta (and I’m not taking about Ron vs Laura). Laura struggles to comprehend tetrahedral shapes, we talk more about isomers and chirality. It’s fiery and fun. You love season 3, we can tell and we love it to and we love you. Join the Patreon you bozos.

S3 Ep 2The Boy Tube

E

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 nerdy, normal non-comedian brother Ron!This week they're settling in to the new A level routine and Ron is doing his bestest to get monomers and polymers into Laura's head. The idea is they'll breeze through monomers and polymers and then can focus on rotational symmetry and chirality but breezing doesn't happen and the symmetry is too much for her.Other than that the episode is a sterling success.If you would like to support the podcast then please do, you can go to patreon.com/lexxeducation and pledge a monthly or annual amount.This is also your last chance to see the cool kids live in 2025 (rhymes) so don't forget to get your tickets via https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation

E

It’s the first episode of season 3! We’ve sacked off chemistry and physics and we’re here with our biology blinkers on.However, we start off the episode with a bit of a Duolingo tirade. It’s the return of Gnocchi, it’s the return of Brussels, it’s the return of focus and love of pod. Then we talk about Laura’s bad week, because she has had a very bad week.The science in question is a topic intro to biological molecules - yes we’ve done this before, yes we’re doing it again.Enjoy the pod, join the patreon, all the links you need are here: https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation

S2 Ep 33The Aardvark Debacle

E

Welcome to Lexx Education - it's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron!This week it's the last of the stock take! Laura and Ron have been weighing up exactly how badly A Level is sinking in to the mulch of Laura's brain and are developing some shakeups to the format post GCSE.In this episode they just test just to be completely 100% sure she's not learning anything and lo and behold - she's not. So, changes are afoot!But for now, enjoy this lovely little trip down trying to understand physics for possibly... the last time.

S2 Ep 32Never Shower At Our House

E

The Coceo’s are back in business mode, starting with a retrospective of the Lexx podcasting empire, and then into some really collaborative and, to be honest, brilliant science. The grindset, mindset, never be kindset is becoming quite kind actually. We’re back on the stock take, this time taking a look at the success of the chemistry teaching so far and SPOILER ALERT it’s real bad. Real real bad. The massive shit that Child of the Podcast takes in the shower in the middle of the episode isn’t the stinkiest thing that happens.

S2 Ep 31A Hostile Environment for Both Science and Self-Esteem

E

It’s 8am on a Monday morning and two cool kids sit down to record their killer podcast. They are two absolute CEOs of podcasting… Laura and Ron. Siblings with that killer instinct for grind and mindsets.Gone is the old podcast where two friendly kids muck about around a science syllabus and here comes CEO podcasting from the people who brought you Lexx Ed the old version. Now it’s Lexx Ed the new version: grindset style.It’s a little bit more recapping of the syllabus that so far hasn’t gone in except now it’s corporate. Stylish. Productive and focused. CEOs.In this episode we get micro - we look deep into the nucleus and find out exactly what's going on in that little membrane envelope. Laura learns an important lesson about the difference between porous and having pores.To support the podcast and make it financially viable enough to continue go to patreon.com/lexxeducation and pledge your monthly donation.

S2 Ep 30Vibe Whiplash

E

We start off today’s episode with a lot of dog chaos, before veering into Harry Potter castings via Sister of the Podcast’s hair. It’s a special episode today, we’re doing a surprise pop quiz today to check in with Laura’s knowledge and understanding of A-Level so far. SPOILERS but not great. Sister of the Podcast, fan favourite, and all-round wonderful human being, joins us for an episode and we have a lovely time. Ron gets a dicky tummy halfway through so starts disappearing for large tracts of time, it’s a late and meandering record. Science fun for the whole family except for Grandma and Grandpa, they’d hate this.

S2 Ep 29Sound Effect Extravaganza

E

Heads up everyone - it's a weird one!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 nerdy younger normal brother Ron!This week is weird... first Laura is away for the introduction so it's solo Ron. He always has a clanky energy about him and this week is no exception. If you like gentle stumbling through nothing - you will love this introduction.Then there's the lesson... but is there? See Laura and Ron have actually not recorded for three weeks so ACTUALLY there's quite a lot of catching up and a big reveal and then they half study half a sentence.Then the quiz... well, technically they're both there - they're just not both there together. You'll see when you get there.Then back to lovely little Ron in a box on his own for the outro.Even for us - this is a shambles of weird states.

S2 Ep 28Felt Hatch Room

E

Viewing discretion is advised, this episode about enzymes and the induced-fit model starts with a 10 minute argument about Laura and Ron’s relationship and how people spend time together and communicate with each other. However, when not squabbling, your favourite podcasters cover good science and have a lovely time. Recorded in a kooky order, it’s an extravaganza of Lexx Ed nonsense. Enjoy!

S2 Ep 27Reporting for Booty

E

Laura tells Ron all about the new show coming up called The Paper - set in the world of The Office.In the lesson there’s a bit more pub quiz to finish off… this time it’s flags!There’s a huge meandering wander through the tea towel, through Stockholm Syndrome and through reminiscences of Bristol Harbour Festival before they end up anywhere.It feels like they might veer back into the big argument when Laura requests that Ron return to Bristol for more James Prestwood shenanigans and Ron refuses to commit.The science when they finally arrive there is Photons. Unfortunately Laura finds it very hard to get started because she’s concentrating so hard on jokes about the word Photon. Packets feature heavily in the desciption of photons etc. Rice. Ever heard light described like rice? Well, you will have by the time you finish this episode.It’s SUCH a short stop on the science before they’re distracted by several celebrities. Weirdly enough though, it’s Laura that drags them back on topic just in time to squeeze in Max Planck.They finish off with a nice bit of pre-holiday crossword solving. What more could you ask for?

E

C-I-T-Y you can see why, these doves the neat doves smart and streetwise. CITY DOVES.The show begins with Laura have had an hour off and so is in a nice relaxed mood. She's been watching Clarkson's Farm and the science siblings have a quick chat about how it's got a bit stilted lately. Then, they move on to the hot topic of Laura RSVPing to Ron's birthday party.The actual science is about co-valent bonds yadaa yahda yadda.A note from Laura: I purposely called her Rosalind Crick to try and infuriate Ron at the end but he didn't notice. He never listens to me. Just wanted to mention that here before I get told off by ole eagle eared listeners!Be like Liz Babb, join our patreon: patreon.com/lexxeducation

E

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! This week featuring a surprise interruption by a meat and fish guy which we've decided to leave in, in a move that prompted Tom to call us "despicable people". So that's nice, isn't it?The science is enzymes and active sites and all that kind of stuff but the real meat and bones of the potato podcast is the squabbles, the love and the sibling nonsense that you just can't fake.

S2 Ep 23Much Mickey Ado About Mouse

E

This is the science siblings first lesson recording science before Ron went away to Sweden and Norway and so they’ve had a good month off recording together, so… it takes them a while to get into the meat and bones of the potato party.It begins with Laura having had some compliments this week and Ron trying to guess what on earth someone might compliment about Laura.50 bonus Lab Rat points to anyone who gets the Tom Builder reference. There’s a happy return of the famous Laura invented apple sorter before Laura and Ron start reminiscing about the House of Marbles in Newton Abbot. Let us know if you want a special visit episode about the House of Marbles.Then the subject morphs from marbles to a potential moon tattoo to a pretty graphic discussion of potential tattoos and into junk.At the 14 minute mark of the episode there’s a feeling like the science is about to start. That feeling is fleeting. It’s so fleeting it’s not even a full fleet it’s a fle.Suddenly, via a fairly disgruntled person, they’re discussing TaskMaster which is Laura’s favourite new obsession!You might get a bit confused in the middle because you can’t really hear Tom asking me questions but that’s why I suddenly start having one half of a conversation you can’t hear. Do you enjoy the interruptions from CotP or should we editing more of this out?I won’t spoil what the quiz is about but it’s nearly as long as the episode. We are so bad at podcasting.--💬 Show NotesIn this episode of Lexx Education, Laura and Ron dive into a whirlwind of chaotic anecdotes, beginning with Laura's dramatic work call that leaves her a quivering mess. Just when you think the conversation might steer towards science, a seagull unexpectedly drops into Laura's garden, leading to a comedic rescue mission that only a true animal whisperer could manage.As the siblings navigate through their day-to-day lives, they reminisce about their childhood adventures and the oddities of family life, including a hilarious discussion about their old family projects. The episode takes a delightful turn as they explore the possibility of getting matching tattoos and the quirks of their pets, all while dodging the elusive topic of actual science.With a quiz that spirals into a Taskmaster-themed trivia challenge, Laura showcases her pop culture knowledge, proving she might just be a master of the absurd. Expect laughter, unexpected tangents, and the usual banter that makes Lexx Education a joy to listen to.

S2 Ep 22Turning Upping In People

E

Wow look at that, another episode of Lexx Education! We kick off discussing Laura’s trip back from New Zealand and all of her whack film decisions. Science is barely mentioned before the first tangent rears its ugly head. When the science eventually does happen it is some of its most fractious science to date. But to be fair to Ron, Laura is thick. We’re covering ionic bonding today, which isn’t what we were supposed to be covering but… you’ll see why.These show notes were generated by Headliner AI. If you enjoy them please tell other podcasters by giving a shoutout to https://headliner.app in your episode ✨---💬 Show NotesIn this episode of Lexx Education, Laura and Ron are back with another hilarious dive into the world of science, this time exploring the intricacies of ionic bonding. The pair kick off with a cheeky chat about Laura's upcoming trip to Bristol and her brother's recent adventures in Brussels, before they inevitably veer off into tangents about their familial dynamics and the quirks of their younger sister, who has just joined the podcasting world.As they settle into the topic, Ron attempts to guide Laura through the complexities of ionic and covalent bonds, but not without their usual banter and comedic missteps. From discussing the structure of ionic lattices to the challenges of remembering key chemistry concepts, this episode is packed with laughs and learning. Expect a few unexpected references to pop culture, including a spirited debate about the merits of various films watched during long-haul flights.And while they may not stick strictly to the syllabus, rest assured that the science is there, nestled within the chaos of their sibling rivalry and culinary experiments.
