The Multiverse Employee Handbook

The Multiverse Employee Handbook is a science comedy podcast where workplace humor meets cosmic exploration. From quantum mechanics explained through staff meetings to space history through annual reviews, we decode scientific mysteries through corporate metaphors. Each episode combines rigorous science with absurdist office scenarios, whether exploring the strange physics of black holes or the equally baffling logic of expense reports. Perfect for curious minds who suspect their workplace might
