Hey faithful listeners! As part of our patreon series, Laura is taking the reigns and talking Ron through the science of Laughter as per Dr Robert Provine in his book "Laughter". Next week on the patreon feed we are releasing episode 3 of this series and so we thought we might try and tempt a fe wmore of you to join the patreon subscribers by giving you this little taste of what you're missing out...

So here we go, we're entering another redo. Laura's fingers and wandering brain have struck again and the episode that was Identifying Common Gases only exists somewhere in the deleted file realm. Perhaps one day a science will exist that can find it but it is not this idea. SO, in lieu of that, the buff siblings from Somerset have re-recorded (corded?) and here present the exact same science agai...

It's Awards Season babaayyyyy... and does this episode win the award for shortest time from starting to the first person being told to go fuck themselves? It might do! Laura has been an arse lately and this episode really reflects Laura and Ron's bitterest feelings about each other. It's DNA and inheritance and stuff and is the last episode for a while that is not a redo so enjoy! Learn more about...

Hey up everyone it's Lexx Education! This week Laura has a very shiny moisturised face and the effects of the advent calendar are discussed in detail but Ron fails to finish the round up. Shout out to Will Duggan and his water flosser. We're looking at 6.6.2.3 for the numbers fans and it’s got the energy of two people killing time waiting for a bus, rather than two people in charge of running a sc...

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where a sciencely challenged comedian, Laura Lexx, is trying to relearn the GCSE science triply syllabus from her brother and teacher Ron (one person). This week starts with a lot of chatter as Laura and Ron catch up post break for a holiday. Laura tells Ron all about seals and whether or not she would have sex with them and why...

Wayo! It's Lexx Education you eggloving mofos! It's biology this week so naturally we launch straight into the syllabus with absolutely no pre-amble or messing about... just kidding. No, of course we don't. Biology We begin with a long discussion about how Agony Dad sharpens his pencils. Then there is a meaty discussion of animated films and who should watch them. When we finally reach the science...

Merry Christmas beautiful listeners! What ho... a day off because it's 25th December?! NOT US! Surely we're just repeating an old episode?! NOPE - we're releasing this BRAND NEW EPISODE all about the twelve days of Christmas. In this very special episode, Laura and Ron look at The 12 Days of Christmas and what the repercussions of getting all of these gifts would actually be... as far as a connect...

Ho ho ho and welcome to Lexx Education! The comedy Christmas podcast where USUALLY comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her normal non-comedian younger nerdy brother Ron. BUT, it's Christmas episode time for the podcast! In the first of your 2023 Christmas specials, Ron and Laura are exploring Elves and what exactly would need to be going on with their anatomy and internal biology in or...

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...
