Lexx Education

We begin with some musical chat and for once it’s Ron procrastinating because it’s him that doesn’t want to get onto the science. Laura gets worried about a possible tricko seed being planted but Ron insists she won’t see it coming. They try their best to discuss every subject on the planet (including the death of Princess Diana) before finally getting round to chatting about chemical analysis. La...

Honestly, it's one of our most distracted introductions ever but if we can't be distracted at this time of year, when can we be?! Welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where Laura and Ron, two siblings from Somerset, bumble their way through the AQA GCSE science syllabus. This week they are discussing hormones, where they come from, where they go & how they work. It's biology so th...

Hello and welcome to the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx gets taught the AQA combined science podcast from her reasonably normal non-comedian brother Ron! Laura is feeling pretty festive in the run up to advent kicking off and is full of tiffin. In the science it's more waves and stuff… light waves and their lengths and stuff. Will the waves ever end? The episode is a good'un... R...

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where our resident unhinged comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her little brother (non-comedian) Ron. One of the most unhinged starts to an episode we’ve ever had, we don’t reference the fact we’re recording and just sing multiple different songs for a long time. We'd love to say that's the end of the weirdness but a...

Biology! Welcome to the week we love and this week it is a humdinger! Laura and Ron briefly get distracted worrying about Laura's teeth and then the lesson begins and they are studying the central nervous system. We chat a little bit about Edvard Munch and The Scream because Laura is in Oslo during the lesson recording. The science is The Human Nervous System - the endocrine system and the nervous...

Ooof, a real episode of two parts here... in part one it's the last of the sad Laura's and the brave sibling pair desperately try to work through descriptions of waves against the misery waves coming from Laura's brain. Then they both agree to take a break, they return when Laura is much happier but this time rather than discussing waves they discuss Bernard Cribbins. Learn more about your ad choi...

A second Halloween special?! Oh yeah! We are really spoiling you this year! After the joy of last week's episode on cryptozoology, we are now turning our attention to skeletons and mummies. How are mummies made? Who used to make them? Can mummies happen naturally? How many bones are in the human body? Do children have more bones than adults? Why do children have more bones than adults? Did you kno...

Wooooooooooo! It's the spookiest month of the year! Ron's favourite season in podcasting - Halloween month! Who loves Halloween podcasts?! RON DOES! And hopefully you two... this week we bring you the first of our TWO Halloween special podcasts for 2023 where we are looking at cryptozoology... that's right, animals that don't exist but that are a bit more believable than your average nonsense. The...

Hello fabulous lab rats! We wish you love on this Monday. This week on Lexx Education Laura and Ron are talking Crude Oil Distillation... mmmmmm, fabulously sexy topic. They look at uses and boiling points and... ah do you know what, cards on the table this is Laura writing this and she doesn't really know what she's on about so it's a science episode and enjoy it.

So, this week the government declared they would be kicking the woke out of science. It's a ridiculous sentence from ridiculous people and THAT'S OUR JOB. not theirs. So, in retaliation, everyone's favourite science siblings from Somerset have decided to inject a tonne more woke into their weekly science output by running through a history of some of the coolest LGBTQ+ scientists the internet told...

Firstly, it's a Lexx Education first as Ron is alone doing intros and outros due to it being Laura's birthday and therefore she is unable to attend recording. It has a gravitas to it when Ron is alone, we're not going to lie: we like it. The lesson itself is lovely, they don't get too mad at each other except for one big bust up. Other than that they cover homeostasis in a relatively nice atmosphe...

This episode is going really, REALLY well and professionally until Ron mentions he has been for brunch with their other sister and Laura becomes the incredible Sulk. Unfortunately, that happens approximately one minute into the episode so the whole thing is kind of frosty and sad and weird as siblings can sometimes be. Good job this is a podcast about sibling relationships, right? Oh, the science?...

The science siblings from Somerset are feeling giddy, recording straight after their debut live performance at The London Podcast Festival. They bring you and introduction straight from Agony Dad's kitchen with CotP, Agony Dad's dog and The Gentle Boy all in attendance. Then we hit the lesson and Laura and Ron are discussing organic chemistry... but it is actually mainly about Laura being jealous...

Hellloooooooooo! A big sciencey welcome to everyone who has survived the terrifying heat this weekend and is now embracing life on the other side of all that pit sweat and climate crisis reality. We are back in the world of biology this week... looking at METABOLISM in all its glory. Laura and Ron have a lovely time until they nearly come to blows over how breathing occurs when running. For two pe...

Hello Lab Rats! We hope this episode finds you well as the autumn beckons and we hurdle into a new school term! It's September... what better time to lurch into a science lesson that is filled with apathy and misery. This week we are looking at momentum... and ironically, the episode has none. But it's filled with the uniqueness that is Laura and Ron. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

Welcome to another beautiful hour in the company of Laura Lexx, comedian, author and all round science dunce. Every week her patient normal brother Ron tries to teach her some more of the GCSE combined science syllabus and Laura spits it back out in a ball of insults. This week it's chemistry and Ron is trying to get Laura to understand equilibriums and reaction energy. Even Laura doesn't really u...

This week it's biology and specifically: respiration! Aerobic and anaerobic! Ron tries to get Laura to understand the difference between the two and Laura sort of follows until the quiz... where it all falls completely spectacularly apart. Terrible ending to fairly interesting conversation. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week it's all about Issac Newton... or Benjamin Franklin, or George Washington or that guy that got in the bath. Either way, it's meant to be Newton and his Laws. The science siblings are sick of paella and don’t want to do scalars and vectors anymore. Those are the headlines. Hey, get tickets to our show at the London Podcast Festival!

Welcome to Lexx Education - the only comedy podcast where a brother teaches a sister science. There’s a weird amount of science this week. An usual amount of science. Like they are both concentrating or something. Laura and Ron look at the rate of reactions in chemicals. HotP is also around. Laura and Ron are showing off in front of him and it shows. There’s a lot of pens stuff. Ron is very distra...

What a peach of an episode we have for you here… it’s Laura and Ron actually getting on well for once and barely an argument in sight! There’s also no eating sounds and a small smattering of science. Because the lesson was so delightful, Laura and Ron decided to pick a fight with each other in the introduction and goodbye section instead. This week the science siblings from Somerset discuss glucos...

It's a record breaking week for Lexx Education. The week with the giddiest boy, the worst soundscape, the least science and the triumphant return of paella to the business of science. It’s physics. It’s a slow trudge through an olivey swamp of physics. To be fair, a lot of the blame for this week's hellscape goes to Ron who is distracted first by olives and then by alcohol and never by science. La...

It’s Lexx Education time! This week the science siblings from Somerset take on the rate of reaction in chemistry. They begin though with Laura’s hangover and again, Ron tries to convince Laura of the importance of being hydrated. Tom is in the building for this Same Room Episode and it adds a level of supervision and judgement that Laura just can’t cope with. They look at the things that affect th...

Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast from comedian Laura Lexx and her science fanatic brother Ron! WAIT - are you hear having heard last week’s episode with Dara O’Briain talking space and now you want more? We’re so glad to have you, but, this podcast is experienced best from episode 1 and working through… so we suggest you pop back to the start and then crack on and we’ll meet you back her...

Dara O’Briain is our first ever special guest - here to help us celebrate a whole year of Lexx Education and graduate us into our second year. International superstar Dara O’Briain (Stargazing Live, Infinite Monkey Cage, Dara O’Briain Meets Stephen Hawking) tells the science siblings all about his passion: space. Dara turns his masterful skills to the job of trying to get Laura and Ron to care abo...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her non-comedian brother Ron.  After a quick discussion of intestinal health, followed by Ron’s water debacle, it’s back to scalas and vectors today. Ron enlists the help of paella and festivals to try and get Laura to engage with the concept of distance and...
