Lexx Education lexxeducation

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her non-comedian brother Ron.
This week Ron takes on the intros/outros solo due to Laura not having any internet in the deep dark west country. It has the vibe of a crazy man in a bunker but it's pretty nice.
As for the episode... A very classic feel episode, lot’s of just saying stuff, lot’s of a very scared Laura guessing.

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her non-comedian brother Ron.
This week, Ron is flying solo for the intros and outros as Laura is off the grid somewhere in a forest. Despite Laura's absence, Ron manages to keep the show rolling with his usual quirky charm.
Today's episode is a classic Lexx Education experience filled with Laura's wild guesses and Ron's patient explanations. They dive into the world of genetic engineering, discussing everything from the lock-and-key method of enzymes to the benefits and risks of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Along the way, they touch on topics like golden rice, insulin production, and the ethical concerns surrounding GMOs.
As always, there's plenty of sibling banter, including a Minecraft update where Laura and her husband become religious pioneers in a sunflower field, worshipping horses and shunning sheep. The episode also features nostalgic discussions about 90s cartoons, adding a touch of whimsy to the science-heavy content.

Hello cool kids! It's a new science lesson for people who hate science and love siblings!
Physics recap.
Laura tells Ron all about her holiday to Lanzarote - including the plum, the Elvis impersonator, and the landscape of Lanzarote. Ron won’t talk about his weekend because at this point he was still keeping the reunion with Judith under wraps.
Ron is pretty distracted by sand timers throughout the podcast.
They try a little bit hard to focus on recapping circuits but they’re distracted by EVERYTHING including a pigeon sending an email.
They recap all the parts of a circuit and the words and symbols required to talk about circuits and the formulas for working out current, resistance and voltage.\
Welcome back to another uproarious episode of Lex Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx attempts to absorb scientific knowledge from her non-comedian, Bristolian, headphone-clad, bearded brother, Ron. This week, Laura shares her life-changing salad recipe, and Ron discusses his recent stag do preparations, complete with sand timers.
Laura recounts her trip to Lanzarote, describing the surreal experience of staying in an adults-only hotel that felt more like a retirement home. She also details the volcanic landscape and her adventures with an Elvis impersonator. Meanwhile, Ron updates us on his summer woes and his cat, Gnocchi.
In the science segment, the siblings attempt to recap physics, specifically focusing on current, resistance, and potential difference. Laura struggles but eventually nails the formula for these concepts, using her unique logic. The episode is filled with distractions, including sand timers and pigeon emails, making for a chaotic but entertaining listen.

It's essentially about resources and water but Ron made precious few notes and only gave it to Laura to upload with an hour to spare so she's not listened to it and therefore cannot write this well. Enjoy.
Welcome to episode 101 of Lexx Education, where the Lexx siblings delve into the depths of Room 101 to banish their most loathed elements of science. From the perplexing world of physics to the occasional disdain for chemistry, and even the grievances against biology, this episode is a cathartic journey through the academic annoyances that ruffle their feathers. Not to mention, they throw in their frustrations about Thursdays, social media promotion, and the unavoidable mouth noises that come with podcasting. Join Ron and Laura as they unleash a torrent of comedic gripes and see if your pet peeves made the list. Vicky Sykes, our gatekeeper for this episode, ensures everything is securely locked away in Room 101. Tune in, have a laugh, and maybe find some solace in shared irritation. And to our loyal patrons and listeners, we appreciate you more than words can express—even if we're a bit under the weather while doing so. Class dismissed!

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of Lexx Education! It's our centenary! Can you believe we made it to 100 episodes?! We know we can't!
To celebrate making it this far, a place that not many podcasts get to, we are looking at the 100 Greatest Scientific Discoveries. We've unearthed a very cool book called the 100 Greatest Science Discoveries Of All Time by Hendall Haven and we're beginning a meandering wander through the list starting with the first ten. You'll get the next installment in 100 episodes time. We like to keep you on tenterhooks.
For now though thank you so much for listening, we love what we do and we love that you're here. You're the best listeners a podcast could ever ask for.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her non-comedian science loving younger brother Ron!
Ron didn't make any episode notes for this, our 99th episode and when I messaged him to ask him what it was about so I could write this he said "Biology, selective breeding - we don't get much done at all. Basically just talk about cabbage and broccoli." I think for the nine millionth time he talks about Barbara Brocolli.
Anyway, become a patron, leave us a five star review and buy Laura's books and tour tickets. Thanks x

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.
