Lexx Education

Fire up your Bunsen burners and join award-winning comedian Laura Lexx as she attempts to pass her Science GCSEs (all over again) with the help of nerdy younger brother, Ron. Every week the squabbling siblings dissect a topic from the baddest educational document on the planet - the UK’s National Curriculum. Microbiology, magnetism, manganese…can long-suffering Ron explain atomic structures or will Laura be forever banging her head against the periodic table? Whether you love thermodynamics -

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 glucose, starch and how plants and humans store energy and use it.To support the podcast and help Laura and Ron

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. Laura doesn't help, but she is not the worst offender for once.If you like the podcast please consider

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, they are discussing the long since passed Coronation of King Charles III. It features an improvised

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 focused episode, but they do seem to be getting on pretty well. There’s some kangaroo chat, some

No sandwiches were harmed in the making of this podcast. We look at the effect of antibiotics on the world. Then we cover painkillers.

Ron is in Vienna. We discussed the centre of gravity of objects. Laura is obsessed with making Ron eat a

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 recording this episode so has gone a little stir crazy. We have a quick chat about all the acids she puts on
