I've Always Wondered is the podcast for the questions you have asked but never answered. Join Will and James as we learn things we have always wondered

    What is colour blindness?

    What is colour blindness?

    The grass is green and the sky is blue, right? Well for most that may be the case, but for people with colour blindness distinguishing different colours can prove to be difficult. However, how does colour blindness work, and have colours always been the same. We delve into the colourful world of colour and discover that things may not have always been as they seem.

    Why do things that rhyme sound true?

    Why do things that rhyme sound true?

    An apple a day keeps the doctor away, birds of a feather flock together, he who smelled it dealt it. These age old rhyming sayings all feel as though they are true, but to what extent should we live our lives by them? Join us as we discuss the art of the rhyme and rhyming's role in aphorisms. Plus, James unwittingly presents Will with an opportunity to quash two common beliefs, and if there is one thing we love to do on this show it is quashing your beliefs.

    Why do we hiccup?

    Why do we hiccup?

    Hiccupping/hiccoughing is bizarre, and not just because of how it is spelled. They can appear at a moment's notice, and be rather embarrassing. So, why do they happen, how do they happen, and how can we stop them? This is the question someone wondered to us so we had a go at answering it, only we faced a slight hiccup, because no-one seems to know. 

    If you have any questions you have always wondered, you can always tweet us @alwayswonder pod. We also have an email alwayswonderpod@gmail.com

    Carnivorous plants, why so hungry?

    Carnivorous plants, why so hungry?

    There are few things an insect enjoys more than munching down on a tasty plant, but sometimes it's the other way round. Venus fly traps, bladderworts, and the lovely Nepenthes lowii are covered as we discus how and why carnivorous plants catch their prey.
