Dr. Wright Breaks It Down For You Dr. Wright Breaks It Down for You

Join inventor Dr. Howard Wright and I as we explore the bubbly, bodacious world of soap! Why do we need it? How does it work? And what does the game “Angry Birds” have to do with it again?

In this week's podcast, Dr. Wright and I tangle with a terrifying topic: canker sores! We battle viruses, bacteria, and several toothpaste commercials from the 1950s to bring you our thoughts on canker sore treatment. Supported by several animations, lovingly by yours truly in Microsoft Paint.

At last! A new podcast from Dr. Wright! In this week's podcast, Dr. Wright and I explore the ins and outs of fluoride: what is it? Whose idea was it to put it in the drinking water? Why is that seal getting its teeth brushed? Accompanied, as always, by my delightful animations, painstaking crafted in Microsoft Paint.

In this week's episode, Dr. Wright and I discuss how exactly all those glow-in-the-dark frisbees, yo-yos, and Glowstorm Whistles work. I jump to the conclusion that these items clearly must be emitting nuclear radiation, and have to be reminded about the Law of Conservation of Energy. Oops.

Keeping with our summer theme, Dr. Wright and I navigate the ins and outs (literally!) of rip currents, also called rip tides. Rip currents are insidious, deadly, and clandestine--the similarities to javelinas are not overlooked. Oh no, dear listener! They are not overlooked at all.

The dog days of summer are upon us, and so Dr. Wright explores an important topic about our favorite canines: how exactly do the poor things keep cool? We discuss werewolves, sweat glands, and the importance of NEVER SHAVING A HUSKY EVER EVER EVER.
