Lexx Education

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...

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. For tickets to Lexx Education live in 2023 go to https://www.designmynig...

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...
