EWelcome back to part 2 of the biology exam... the bit where all the wheels start to come off, roll through dog poop and then hit the spectators in the head!It starts back with malaria is a protist and into a new section.They immediately have a disagreement about whether or not Laura should be befriending rats.A word of warning - Ron is enthusiastically eating pistachios and then cleaning up his own pistachio mess during the beginning of this episode so sorry to everyone who hates all the messy noises that surround our speaking.You really start to hear Laura’s frustration brimming into giddiness around the 16 minutes mark (of the exam - not the whole episode). She gets a bit whiny and groany.Laura then joins in on eating the pistachios. At around the 18 minute mark (of the exam - not the whole episode) you might want to just take your headphones out for a while. And when we see a while... we mean until the end of the exam.

Laura and Ron are in the same room, and the episode starts with a bit of a sticky situation—literally, as Ron's arms are stuck to the table. The dog is chewing on her own leg, and we introduce a new character: Girlfriend of the Podcast. Things get personal as they discuss the timeline of Ron's relationship, but they quickly move on to the science.We start with a question about malaria and end up in a deep discussion about mosquito vectors, eukaryotic cells, and prokaryotic organisms. Laura tries her best to answer the questions, but there are a few moments where she feels like she's flailing. Ron provides some guidance, but not without a few laughs and some frustration.One of the highlights is when Laura describes the malarial protist and its features. She struggles with terms like "bayou area" and "nucleus" but eventually gets there. The episode is filled with tangents, including a discussion about feeding rats and the dangers of Vile's disease.The episode also features a particularly challenging question about the effect of pH on the rate of starch breakdown by amylase. Laura gives it her best shot, but it's clear that this is a tough one. Ron helps her through it, but not without some playful banter and a few more nuts being eaten in the background.As the episode progresses, Laura tackles questions about the human heart, coronary arteries, and the effects of blocked arteries. She also discusses the importance of clinical trials and the validity of online reports about new drugs.The episode wraps up with some business ideas from Ron, including bougie baby cupboard locks, pine nut butter, and a shoe subscription service.

S1 Ep 113Stevie Wonderneath
EA classic dose of Lexx Ed here for your ears - Laura is in a very distractable mood and Ron is fairly amenable to it. It is also the episode where we finish the biology syllabus! Which means that it's also the episode where we finish the GCSE syllabus! What a time to be alive and be a listener of the Lexx Education show. Topics covered include the Carbon Cycle & the Water Cycle, the riots that are happening in the UK, semantics of a certain word, and other cool things.JOIN THE PATREON for more lovely content in your earz.These show notes were generated by Headliner AI.

Today is a momentous occasion as we reach the final episode in the GCSE syllabus. Yes, it's the last biology lesson and the last GCSE episode ever!Laura and Ron dive into the complexities of the carbon and water cycles, discussing how carbon and water move through different parts of the ecosystem. Laura's artistic attempts at drawing the cycles provide some comic relief, while Ron tries to keep the lesson on track. They also touch upon the impacts of human activity on biodiversity and the environment, covering topics like deforestation, pollution, and waste management.But it's not all science and seriousness. Laura and Ron get sidetracked by discussions about protests, parenting challenges, and even a bit of culinary disaster involving an overly fennel-flavoured curry. The episode wraps up with a quiz on the carbon and water cycles, and a promise of more fun to come in future episodes.Class dismissed!

S1 Ep 112Ron Ron Ron Ron Ron Ron
EHello and welcome to... ah I mean honestly... what's the point? Ron has given up. Ron is so close to the end that his ever intermittent commitment has gone in a puff of smoke. So we just fuck about for an hour. Enjoy.This week, Laura and Ron are back with their usual banter, but things take a bit of a detour. Laura's in Manchester, dealing with a headache and a frustrating shopping trip, while Ron's got his own issues with blisters from a misguided flip-flop walk to get vaccinated. They chat about everything from clothing dilemmas to Ron's recent gift of a £30 voucher and the woes of public speaking.They also dive into a discussion about favourite soft drinks, with Laura and Ron debating the merits of Oasis and Rio. There's an amusing tangent about Laura's child's antics with toilet water and the challenges of potty training. The conversation meanders through various topics, including gymnastics, the Bristol Harbour Festival, and the intricacies of Olympic sports.Eventually, they attempt to tackle some physics revision, but it quickly devolves into a quiz that leaves Laura questioning her knowledge. They wrap up with a Sonic character quiz, revealing Laura as Knuckles, much to her confusion. It's a chaotic but entertaining episode filled with laughter, random trivia, and the usual sibling dynamic that keeps listeners coming back for more.

S1 Ep 111Some Classic Lexx Ed Bollockery
EHello and welcome to another smashing episode of Lexx Education! This week Ron is still on holiday so Husband of the Podcast Tom joins Laura for intros and outros but the episode itself is Laura and Ron having a gloomy old time going over early chemistry.It’s a very low energy start where Laura is still mad at Ron for not telling her about moving house. Gnocchi the cat is there and Ron isn’t interested in any of the fun things coming up which really stifles Laura’s enthusiasm.Recapping early chemistry… plum pudding and all that jazz. The gold foil test - Rutherford! Laura actually has remembered vast swathes of this stuff which let’s face it we’re all impressed with.We move onto radiation which Laura claims to love but honestly doesn’t remember a second of because, wait for it, we’re not studying it in the same subject that we first covered it in. That brain. That swampy swampy brain.Relative charge Laura has down… it’s like listening to a different podcast for a moment. Then we move on to relative mass and… holy crap she’s got it again.Somehow we get on to religion for a while… it’s not even an RE episode. So much crossover these days. Back to the science and we’re looking at all the groups on the periodic table and then types of bonds.

Laura and Ron also explore abiotic factors, interdependence, and competition within ecosystems. Expect some classic Lexx Education banter, including a hilarious misunderstanding about how candles work and a special listener question from H. Martin.

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.

S1 Ep 97Jeremy V Jeremy
EHello 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.

S1 Ep 96We Never Fucking Invited You To Brunch
EOh 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.

S1 Ep 86Buff Siblings Talking Science
ESo 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.

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.

S1 Ep 78A Toothless Mona Lisa Sipping Some Scrumpy
EWe 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

EHello 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.

S1 Ep 75Stanky Bow Wow
EHello 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.
