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 being something to do with the sea.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! If you're looking for a bingeworthy podcast full of laughs and regular episodes then look no further than Lexx Education! It's packed with British humour from brother sister duo Ron and Laura who are marching slowly methodically painfully and hilariously through the GCSE science syllabus with limited results.This week after a bit of a nostalgic start discussing the Frosties kid and how terrible the advert song was, the dynamic duo are back in chemistry. This week they are looking at all sorts of things like air pollution and to make it a bit more copeable for Laura and her chronic climate anxiety, Ron is leaning on the amazing book "Not The End of the World" by Hannah Ritchie.We cover all sorts this week but basically 98% of it is not science.

Oh look no one has the energy for this bit today. It's the podcast. It's actually a bit more sciencey than usual. Are you new to the podcast? Don't start here. Go back to 1 and trek through and meet us back here when you're ready. We'll wait. If you know the podcast and are ready for episode 96 then jump on in here and get with it. It's the podcast.

Welcome to the 2024 Easter Special from Lexx Education - the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries her very best to learn science from her normal nerdy cool younger brother Ron.This week, we are staring down the barrel of Easter... obviously we're all pretty excited ahem, eggcited about Eggathon 2 happening on Friday HOWEVER right now we're looking at things that have brought humanity back from the dead. That's right - we're looking at cures, vaccines and all the ways that science has stopped us dying in ways that used to be very common. For some reason the entire episode is based in Leeds. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to your new favourite podcast! It's Lexx Education - the comedy science podcast where siblings from Somerset Laura and Ron work their way painstakingly through the AQA GCSE science syllabus. This week though, comedian Laura Lexx and her brother Ron have reached the point in the chemistry syllabus where they have to talk about Laura's deepest darkest fears: the environment and atmospheric changes. To make it nicer, easier and something Laura can cope with Ron is using the book Not The End of the World by Hannah Ritchie to sprinkle in some data driven facts about climate change. We hope you love the pod!

But honestly, if you actually read this let us know.The timeline is fucked - we discuss things that had happened that now haven't happened and things that should happen that got deleted. Why would you read this? Is this just for SEO purposes? If so, listen to the best, most reliable UK podcast with UK comedians on a podcast.Sciene wise we discuss DNA, terminology and eugenics. Ugh if this is for SEO and the inclusion of the word eugenics has just captured you, please go away. we're not pro.Non science wise we discuss a karaoke machine and Roald Dahl. Enjoy!

Well, we’re about to fuck you into a bin.This week we are back on syllabus and it's time for magnets! It's a redo, because, aren't they all lately? Laura's magic fingers have been losing episodes left right and centre and now here we are redoing magnet content.

Hey faithful listeners!As part of our patreon series, Laura is taking the reigns and talking Ron through the science of Laughter as per Dr Robert Provine in his book "Laughter". Next week on the patreon feed we are releasing episode 3 of this series and so we thought we might try and tempt a fe wmore of you to join the patreon subscribers by giving you this little taste of what you're missing out on...We drop two bonus patreon episodes per month and they range from DetentRons where Laura has to do solo research and report back, to sessions with Agony Dad, to supply teaching with guests like Dara O'Briain. Every episode is different and exciting and can be yours for only £3 a month which is the only money Laura and Ron receive for doing the podcast and makes a huge difference to them!To join the patreon just visit patreon.com/lexxeducation and join the Lab Rat tier!

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 relates to the science whatsoever.Don't forget to send your tea towel pictures in to [email protected] and support us on patreon at patreon.com/lexxeducation.

It’s basically about 4 minutes of the episode and most of it’s in the quiz. We’re looking at properties of electromagnetic waves.Email your Lexx Education tea towel images to [email protected] and don't forget to get your Leicester Festival tickets here: https://comedy-festival.co.uk/events/lexx-education-live/

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where a sciencely challenged comedian, Laura Lexx, is trying to relearn the GCSE science triply syllabus from her brother and teacher Ron (one person).This week starts with a lot of chatter as Laura and Ron catch up post break for a holiday. Laura tells Ron all about seals and whether or not she would have sex with them and why she is angry with Cornwall.Then, as we get into the lesson, it with a lengthy chat about nothing as Ron feels the topic is very. It’s chemistry, they’re looking at chromatography. Laura plays with a guillotine while Ron blandly tries to explain the syllabus structure.  Worst audio quality ever because Laura fights a guillotine for a long time. It's really one for the fans.In the outro, Laura and Ron pitch the idea of moving Christmas back a bit so that a little more of winter has been accomplished before the true misery of a Christmasless winter kicks in.Don't forget to buy tickets to our Leicester Festival show on 18th February... https://comedy-festival.co.uk/events/lexx-education-live/

Wayo! It's Lexx Education you eggloving mofos!It's biology this week so naturally we launch straight into the syllabus with absolutely no pre-amble or messing about... just kidding. No, of course we don't. Biology We begin with a long discussion about how Agony Dad sharpens his pencils. Then there is a meaty discussion of animated films and who should watch them.When we finally reach the science it's hormones, puberty, reproduction and the Lexx Education favourite subject: Eggs. Just a brother and a sister sitting around discussing reproduction and then their Dad unloading a dishwasher. Just what the podcasting world needed.

Welcome to 2024 Lexx Education fans!We sincerely hope your New Year's Resolution is to listen to everything we ever do, share it with everyone you've ever loved and subscribe to our patreon! We hope you had a banging Christmas and are ready to jump back into the syllabus...We start the year with MISERABLE PHYSICS. This week it's... oh who even reads these? It's some sort of science about something.

Merry Christmas beautiful listeners! What ho... a day off because it's 25th December?! NOT US! Surely we're just repeating an old episode?! NOPE - we're releasing this BRAND NEW EPISODE all about the twelve days of Christmas.In this very special episode, Laura and Ron look at The 12 Days of Christmas and what the repercussions of getting all of these gifts would actually be... as far as a connection to science goes it's pretty light but I think we can all agree if there was ever a day we can take a break from science it's today! Somehow, the episode is largely about eggs...Merry Christmas you legends - we love each and every one of you.

Ho ho ho and welcome to Lexx Education! The comedy Christmas podcast where USUALLY comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her normal non-comedian younger nerdy brother Ron. BUT, it's Christmas episode time for the podcast!In the first of your 2023 Christmas specials, Ron and Laura are exploring Elves and what exactly would need to be going on with their anatomy and internal biology in order to make them be able to do all the things that popular dictates elves be able to do. Ie, live off sugar, make lots of toys, live in a cold place and worship their jolly slave master.We wish you a jingly merry Christmas and hope you enjoy this festive madness!

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.Laura enters a gel pen blue phase and they finally get on to looking at qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis styles. It doesn’t last long and they’re trying to remember why Abi Titmuss is famous and how many words there are in the English language.After pretty much giving up on chemical analysis they return to one of their favourite rows: would Laura be a brilliant engineer inventor. During this familiar sibling argument they slag off Da Vinci quite a lot and Laura becomes a passionate defender of the wheelbarrow. You will hear the most passionate argument about apple factories you would ever hear.To support the podcast go to patreon.com/lexxeducation

Honestly, it's one of our most distracted introductions ever but if we can't be distracted at this time of year, when can we be?!

Hello and welcome to the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx gets taught the AQA combined science podcast from her reasonably normal non-comedian brother Ron!Laura is feeling pretty festive in the run up to advent kicking off and is full of tiffin.In the science it's more waves and stuff… light waves and their lengths and stuff. Will the waves ever end?The episode is a good'un... Ron fully shuts down in shock for a while but manages to pull it back in time to quiz Laura (who has, surprise surprise, learned nothing).We look at Ultraviolet lights and the spectrum of lights but for those not really here for the science, it's also a weather episode - with Ron's pesky house wire getting involved again.This episode features some of the best pleading and wheedling in a quiz ever - and yet she still manages to leave with nothing.

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where our resident unhinged comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her little brother (non-comedian) Ron.One of the most unhinged starts to an episode we’ve ever had, we don’t reference the fact we’re recording and just sing multiple different songs for a long time. We'd love to say that's the end of the weirdness but actually no... we then spend a long time trying to remember a song about Canada and a while talking about the Antiques Roadshow.Oh, the science! The science is the cracking of alkanes, what they make and what the products are for. It's fine. Then we discuss Nathan For You.

Biology! Welcome to the week we love and this week it is a humdinger! Laura and Ron briefly get distracted worrying about Laura's teeth and then the lesson begins and they are studying the central nervous system.We chat a little bit about Edvard Munch and The Scream because Laura is in Oslo during the lesson recording.The science is The Human Nervous System - the endocrine system and the nervous system. The differences between them and the effect that has.We cover the frankly awesome sounding nodes of ranvier, myelin sheaths, nerves and stuff along those lines.The star of the show is the frankly terrifying Sensory Homunculus. What a guy!Enjoy this episode of Lexx Education!

Ooof, a real episode of two parts here... in part one it's the last of the sad Laura's and the brave sibling pair desperately try to work through descriptions of waves against the misery waves coming from Laura's brain. Then they both agree to take a break, they return when Laura is much happier but this time rather than discussing waves they discuss Bernard Cribbins.

A second Halloween special?! Oh yeah! We are really spoiling you this year! After the joy of last week's episode on cryptozoology, we are now turning our attention to skeletons and mummies.How are mummies made? Who used to make them? Can mummies happen naturally?How many bones are in the human body? Do children have more bones than adults? Why do children have more bones than adults? Did you know a turtle's shell is actually its ribs?!All these questions and none answered in this Halloween Podcast extravaganza!

Wooooooooooo! It's the spookiest month of the year! Ron's favourite season in podcasting - Halloween month! Who loves Halloween podcasts?! RON DOES! And hopefully you two... this week we bring you the first of our TWO Halloween special podcasts for 2023 where we are looking at cryptozoology... that's right, animals that don't exist but that are a bit more believable than your average nonsense.The science siblings from Somerset go on a wild ride around Loch Ness, take a peek at the chupacabre, discuss the differences between a yeti and an abominable snowman and discuss all things mythical. Then Ron gets down to actual science and talks Laura through some of the stuff that these myths are based on: plesiosaurus and gigantopithicus to name but two.Enjoy!

Hello fabulous lab rats! We wish you love on this Monday. This week on Lexx Education Laura and Ron are talking Crude Oil Distillation... mmmmmm, fabulously sexy topic. They look at uses and boiling points and... ah do you know what, cards on the table this is Laura writing this and she doesn't really know what she's on about so it's a science episode and enjoy it.

So, this week the government declared they would be kicking the woke out of science. It's a ridiculous sentence from ridiculous people and THAT'S OUR JOB. not theirs. So, in retaliation, everyone's favourite science siblings from Somerset have decided to inject a tonne more woke into their weekly science output by running through a history of some of the coolest LGBTQ+ scientists the internet told us about. Ron educates Laura on how wokeness is not a new concept, diversity has saved lives since the beginning of time, and how the idea of booting it out of science is as nonsensical as Laura passing the exam at the end of this.We hope you love this special episode.

Firstly, it's a Lexx Education first as Ron is alone doing intros and outros due to it being Laura's birthday and therefore she is unable to attend recording. It has a gravitas to it when Ron is alone, we're not going to lie: we like it.The lesson itself is lovely, they don't get too mad at each other except for one big bust up. Other than that they cover homeostasis in a relatively nice atmosphere.Join the patreon. It's good.

This episode is going really, REALLY well and professionally until Ron mentions he has been for brunch with their other sister and Laura becomes the incredible Sulk. Unfortunately, that happens approximately one minute into the episode so the whole thing is kind of frosty and sad and weird as siblings can sometimes be. Good job this is a podcast about sibling relationships, right? Oh, the science? Waves.

The science siblings from Somerset are feeling giddy, recording straight after their debut live performance at The London Podcast Festival. They bring you and introduction straight from Agony Dad's kitchen with CotP, Agony Dad's dog and The Gentle Boy all in attendance.Then we hit the lesson and Laura and Ron are discussing organic chemistry... but it is actually mainly about Laura being jealous about how much Tom Parry from Pappy's Fun Club liked Ron.

Hellloooooooooo! A big sciencey welcome to everyone who has survived the terrifying heat this weekend and is now embracing life on the other side of all that pit sweat and climate crisis reality.We are back in the world of biology this week... looking at METABOLISM in all its glory. Laura and Ron have a lovely time until they nearly come to blows over how breathing occurs when running. For two people who never run they have vehement opinions on it. For the record, HotP agrees with Laura for once.Anyway, the London Podcast Festival is THIS WEEKEND so PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PLANS AND BUY A TICKET: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/lexx-education/

Hello Lab Rats! We hope this episode finds you well as the autumn beckons and we hurdle into a new school term! It's September... what better time to lurch into a science lesson that is filled with apathy and misery.This week we are looking at momentum... and ironically, the episode has none. But it's filled with the uniqueness that is Laura and Ron. Enjoy!

Welcome to another beautiful hour in the company of Laura Lexx, comedian, author and all round science dunce. Every week her patient normal brother Ron tries to teach her some more of the GCSE combined science syllabus and Laura spits it back out in a ball of insults.This week it's chemistry and Ron is trying to get Laura to understand equilibriums and reaction energy. Even Laura doesn't really understand the answers she's trying to give... then the pair of them get very sweary trying to persuade you all to come to the London Podcast Festival and watch Lexx Education.

This week it's biology and specifically: respiration! Aerobic and anaerobic! Ron tries to get Laura to understand the difference between the two and Laura sort of follows until the quiz... where it all falls completely spectacularly apart. Terrible ending to fairly interesting conversation.

This week it's all about Issac Newton... or Benjamin Franklin, or George Washington or that guy that got in the bath. Either way, it's meant to be Newton and his Laws.The science siblings are sick of paella and don’t want to do scalars and vectors anymore. Those are the headlines.Hey, get tickets to our show at the London Podcast Festival!
