Lexx Education

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where two siblings bicker vociferously over science that should have been learned 20 years ago. This week they discuss endothermic/exothermic reactions, energy changes, biogenetics, e = mc squared. In amongst a lot of marshmallows and twiglets.

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx this week vehemently hates hydrating. She’s especially distracted, and if it’s the science you’re interested in, you can skip a whole healthy chunk before they finally begin today’s subject which is bioenergetics: the study of energy within biology. Actually, probably don’t bother because before you can blink...

Live from the hutch come Laura and Ron: two hutch based comedians making a hutch based podcast for you, our beloved listeners. This week Laura makes a declaration to focus really hard on physics and within seconds has mentioned Piglet’s Big Movie and the science siblings from Somerset are chatting absolute nonsense about the development of various civilisations. Classic stuff. It’s not their most...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education: the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her normal brother Ron. This week we start with a bit of funeral procession etiquette, during which Ron finds it ridiculous how Laura functions in the world. We then get back to electrolysis and specifically the electrolysis of molten ionic compounds. There's an...

The final instalment of the post Eggathon season of Lexx Education. Episode 49 comes in with some beautiful news, and then scampers into an eggy back alley. We cover antibiotics and double check if we remember Alexander Fleming and the discovery of penicillin for the one millionth time. No sandwiches were harmed in the making of this podcast. We look at the effect of antibiotics on the world. Then...

Please ignore Ron's best attempts to get you to stop loving the podcast. Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education. The pendulum swings back to Physics today but mercifully THE PENDULUM IS GONE. It’s work and energy transfers today. The episode today has a sort of “wet break” energy. It’s low key. Less screaming than usual but the apathy… oh boy the apathy! You could cut that apathy w...

Hello and welcome to yet another episode of Lexx Education. The comedy science podcast where a comedian randomly decides with her brother to try and conquer GCSE science for comedic reasons no-one is entirely sure of. After a brief interlude where Laura and Ron plan their diaries and organise a visit from Ron to Laura, they finally get on with the podcast. This week Laura and Ron cover electrolysi...

It's Lexx Ed time! Just a quick warning: this episode contains information about a certain Christmas jolly figure that is not suitable for younger ears who may still have magic alive in their hearts and minds. Other than that this week we are studying cells, antigens and antibodies - how are we still studying these? A long detour through the teletubbies. We cover Lymph node libraries, with interru...

Hello and welcome to the latest offering from Lexx Education. It's meant to be a comedy science podcast but today it's more like a horrible endless cycle of the same bullshit interrupted consistently by the internet being a twat. Plagued by technical difficulties and the sad ghost of horribly covered topics Laura and Ron wage war against resultant forces for what feels like the 100th time. Ron is...

The science siblings from Somerset discuss soluble salts. That’s a lot of acids. There’s a good and reasonable high amount of giddiness. They try putting the contents of chemistry to music to see if that helps with the learning, the success is… well, we’ll leave that for you to judge. Ron is in a grump and won't tell Laura what the problem is, which goes down badly. Laura is in a Travelodge record...

Hey Lab and Fab Rats! Happy Easter to all those enjoying for religious, chocolate, or day off reasons! We hope you've had a spectacular time, you've smoothed all the egg tinfoil out nice and flat with your thumbnails and now you're ready to mow the lawn to the sweet sweet sounds of Lexx Education. This week Laura and Ron focus on eggs, but each in a slightly different way. We have to be honest - i...

Hello and welcome to another episode of the smash hit podcast Lexx Education - where comedian Laura Lexx works her way through the GCSE science syllabus with help from her younger brother non-comedian Ron. This week they are dealing with fall out from The Big Tricko; Laura is reeling from Ron’s betrayal and doesn’t know how to cope with what’s real and what’s false in the Lexx Education Universe....

It’s biology this week, and Ron is teaching Laura all about bacteria and antibiotics. The Somerset science siblings are coming to you from inside a pillow fort in Brussels. There’s no notepad and Laura and Ron are in the same room… chaos ingredients ASSEMBLED. We recover vesicles and look at bacteria and how they attack cells. In trying to discuss convergent evolution they wind up discussing wheth...

Gird your loins, it's down 2. Welcome to the comedy science podcast that leans heavily on the comedy as it wriggles away from the hideousness of science. This week we have a lot to try and get through... Vector and Scaler - Ron tries to use a metaphor that Laura should understand and discusses driving from Brighton to Taunton to try to get Laura to understand. It makes things much much worse. Like...

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where Somerset science siblings Laura and Ron embark on the GCSE science curriculum together with Ron in the teaching seat and Laura hastily trying to learn... This week Laura and Ron start off with a weird energy, then there's a weird energy in the middle and a weird energy at the end. It was after all a Friday afternoon recording. W...

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 younger brother Ron. This week is biology week... a happy where week where usually all is well and good with the world and to make things even happier and safer Laura has bought 30 gel pens. This week the science siblings get stuck in to viral di...

This week it's radioactivity and Laura and Ron get on reasonably well through all of it! A fun episode despite a brief crisis moment from Laura when she realises she does a niche podcast with her brother that her dad doesn't want to be on, but Ron quickly snaps her out of it. Featuring the start of a new game where we encourage you the listener to guess what the other options for an episode title...

Laura is sick and Ron has a fat tongue. Those are the headlines. Who even knows or cares what the actual science in the episode was at this point? Something about woodlice. Don't know. Enjoy! Anyway, here are the Big Bad Banksia Men: https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/344455071478209130/ Laura’s fact about pool comes from the Etymologicon by Mark Forsyth: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-etymolo...

Happy Valentines Day Lab Rats! we wish you joy and love and expressions of admiration that you're comfortable with. Ron says he hopes no one tries to touch you today. Laura says KISSES GALORE. Anyway, today is the Valentines Special and Laura and Ron are having a go at pitching the animals they think would make the best contestants on a series of Love Island. They're pitching dicks, they're pitchi...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, the smash hit comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her normal brother Ron. This week we look at cancer, but it isn't the most terrifying thing in the episode as Ron brings up his deepest darkest fear - Raggety. No, no it's not normal. Enjoy! Our patreon is now live and has a whole Geography lesson in it...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education. The comedy science podcast absolutely filled with tangents, similes and idiots. Welcome to the club. This week it’s a revision episode, covering some old familiar to some but brand new to Laura ground, and gearing up to do radiation. the silly bus asks us to do a quick double back on what atoms are Laura is scared radiation is trickos. Ron is...

Episode 32 of Lexx Education and we're staring down the barrel of chemistry week. We’re looking at how the molecular and atomic behaviour of the element affects what we see happening to the substance en masse. In a moment where it almost sounds like Ron’s heart falls out of his bumhole, Laura can’t even correctly name the Periodic Table. That’s a low point, but shrouded in a happy moment where the...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her real life brother Ron. Technically, the science siblings are still on their holidays, so the intro and outro are from the brief pause in time on the 16th December. You remember that day? The day of the 90 minutes redo episode and multiple intros? They are sti...

Hello! Welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her real life brother Ron! You might have heard us on Just Films n That, or on Loremen, or you might have just chanced across this podcast and decided to bravely have a listen. Either way, thanks for coming: hello, and we're happy to have you. This week it's physics...

Well, Happy New Year everybody and you might be noticing that this episode is a strong length. It's long. It's very long. It's also, the first episode where we've had to resit the lesson due to a technical issue. So it should have been short right? Because we've already done it once? Classic wrong. No. Ron tries to sneak in some higher tier stuff and it goes down like a tonne of bricks all puking...
