Lexx Education

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...

The science siblings are still on their Christmas break, and so this week, rather than wading through the GCSE science curriculum they are instead trying to work out what evolutionary pressures a small reindeer population would need in order to become airborne. First, Ron talks Laura through the basics of evolution and how it all works. Then, they get to work in designing an island on which, given...

Well that's it! We are almost there, almost at Christmas holiday time. But, what last day of term would be complete without the teacher letting you watch a Christmas film? But, we can't just watch a film: Laura's attention span wouldn't last that long, would it? So, instead we're bringing a science twist to that end of term classroom TV time. Ron has painstakingly looked through some of the best/w...

6 months of Lexx Education! Thank you all so much for all the support and love as we fight to get this bad boy off the ground! She's a beautiful craft but the conditions for new podcasts aren't easy and we appreciate all your love, support and shares as we try to take off. We feel like 6 months is a really big milestone though, and we couldn't have got here without you. You're all wonderful but a...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her reasonably average younger brother Ron. Unfortunately the stars have aligned this week to really bring out the worst of Laura. For one it’s our old nemesis physics, and for two this lesson was recorded on a Friday night when Laura did not feel good or focused...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The two Somerset siblings are back, and this week trying to get their head's round quantitative chemistry. The intro and outro has even worse energy than usual - unless you want to hear Laura sniffing, Ron whining and chewing and them both being worse than ever, we suggets you skip to the lesson. Where they... are not really any better. Ron r...

How is it Monday again already? And not just any Monday, but a cold (probably) rainy (more than likely) Monday in November - the official worst month of the year. This week it's biology week and Ron and Laura are looking at illnesses and things that can make you ill. In all honesty though, it's Laura who does these bits and she's not listened the episode yet (as you'll hear in the intro) so she do...

It is an absolute classic bants physics episode this week. Barely minutes in and we’ve got Ron’s greatest hits: clicking, shutupshutupshutup Don’t Just Say Things and shouting. Bliss. It's exactly what you want from Lexx Education and what Laura and Ron will end up in therapy over. It takes a shocking amount of time to work out the resistance of a circuit. A really shocking amount of time. Maybe h...

Welcome back to Lexx Education; the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her younger brother Ron! Listen folks, we mustn't lie to you: Ron is padding the episode. For the first time ever Ron really wants Laura to be as distracting as possible because there’s not enough of the syllabus to make a whole episode so he’s finishing up something small and saving qu...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron. This week, at Ron’s insistence, the science siblings take on the spooky science of Halloween! Ron talks to Laura about the science of reanimation and zombies. He’s the most excited and happy you will ever hear him! Ron talks about t...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron. This week, it’s biology which are usually our happy balmy waters, but this week we have to look at the very serious subject of coronary heart disease, via coronation chicken, raisins and Danny Champion of the World. While we don’t g...

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron. You probably heard the deep sad sighs at the time of recording but it's back to physics this week, and the siblings are fuming to realise they are still on electricity. But, Ron has a trick up his sleeve this week in the form of an...

Welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! Episode 17 and a return to chemistry! This week the science siblings get stuck in to atomic bonds and intermolecular forces. They take another look over types of bonds, not for the first or last (we expect) time this series. Ron walks Laura through the changes in state occurring at melting, freezing and condensing points on the journey of matter as ene...

The science siblings are bouncing back out of the dry dry lands of electricity and into biology. They seem happy here. They’re looking at the body, starting with the structure of the heart. Somehow Laura manages to make the Tower of Terror queue an analogy for the heart. It’s not a winner. Ron takes Laura on a journey with blood through the heart and all its vestibules, out into the lungs for a mi...

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her nerdy younger brother Ron. Hello, he's Ron. This week it's physics and so we all know what that means... Laura is furious. The twist this week is that Ron hates the subject too! How exciting! This week the science siblings are trying to learn electr...

Hello and welcome back to the 14th episode of Lexx Education. The comedy podcast where Laura Lexx tries to learn GCSE science from her nerdy younger brother Ron. This week we are back on the chemistry trail and, it's not just siblings who have bonds: it's atoms too! We look at all types of chemical bonding: ionic, covalent and metallic bonds. There's some time spent on crystal lattice structures,...
