    Exams etc. (2 of 2) - Episode 12

    Another week into the school term, and here's another episode of Anant, Eugene, and myself talking about something very far departed from exams. Starting where last week's episode left off, we begin with names and end with more names, which is a first for our discussions. If any notable scientist you know goes by "Newton", give me a shout, and see if we can find them on Google. Hope you enjoy and see you next week!

    Exams etc. (1 of 2) - Episode 11

    Now we're all back at school (or, should be, at least) and exams have been cancelled, these are all pretty interesting developments for those in Year 13, going into university next year. Hence, Anant, Eugene, and I decided to have a little conversation about said developments which, of course and naturally, we go way off topic onto the idea of evolution in relation to family and familial structures. This is the first part in a two-parter, so watch out for next week's episode.  Hope you enjoy and see you next week!

    Concrete - Episode 10

    This week, a topic which I'm very passionate about: concrete, although most of the episode is about cement. If you're wondering what the equations are, see the main ones here: CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2 2CaO + SiO2 -> 2CaO SiO2 3CaO + SiO2 -> 3CaO SiO2 3CaO + Al2O3 -> 3CaO Al2O3 4CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 -> 4CaO Al2O3 Fe2O3 CaO + H2O -> Ca(OH)2 Ca(OH)2 + CO2 -> CaCO3 + H2O Hope you enjoy and see you next week!

    Chicken and the Egg (2 of 2) - Episode 9

    Following on from last week's episode with Kyle and Matilda, we have, you guessed it, the second part of that conversation with Kyle and Matilda, spanning the breadth of medicinal drugs to languages and university. Yes, we deviate quite a bit from the "Chicken and the Egg" debate, but, what is a podcast if not a dissemination of information?  Hope you enjoy and see you next week.

    Chicken and the Egg (1 of 2) - Episode 8

    We're past Valentine's Day now, and life is somewhat back to normal, without everyone's Instagram stories being filled with couples pictures of bygone ages. This week's podcast covers the age-old debate of "What came first: the chicken or the egg", with Kyle and Matilda. A trio of oddities, sure, but at least we got the conversation moving to drugs and vaccines. Hope you enjoy and see you next week.

    Nuclear Fission Reactors - Episode 7

    We're almost at Valentine's day and what greater gift is there than a podcast about nuclear fission reactors? It's a rhetorical question, since there are no gifts greater than that. In the wake of a presentation I gave regarding the topic in my A-Level physics set, I bring all my accumulated knowledge to you.  Enjoy, and hope to see you next week.

    Catch-up with Henry and Francois (2 of 2) - Episode 6

    Happy February, all. We're one-twelfth into the year and things seem to be improving here in the UK, at least. Trying our best to alleviate the stresses and strains of lockdown, Henry, Francois, and me bring you all the second half of our conversation that we began last week regarding the lockdown, how we're coping and even school. Be warned! There is some extreme weebery here, so watch yourselves. As with last time, Henry is in your left year, Francois in your right, me in front, and you in the centre, as it were. Enjoy, and hope to see you next week.

    Catch-up with Henry and Francois (1 of 2) - Episode 5

    A quick quarantine catch-up with Henry and Francois, where we talk about weebage, a lot of Genshin Impact and we even touch on how effort can be easily ignored with the use of money, in the examples of gacha games like Genshin Impact or even AAA titles such as Star Wars: Battlefront 2. This is the first of two parts to the catch-up, so I hope you enjoy and I'll see you next week.
