We untangle Lombard’s paradox, biarticular hamstrings, and the brutal reality of eccentric braking during sprinting. Explore how human evolution favors endurance running at the cost of peak power, why modern sedentary life tightens the nervous system’s “short length” guard, and how eccentric training—like Nordic curls—can remodel muscle by adding sarcomeres in series. Learn why real resilience takes weeks to months of steady work, and get practical tips to prevent hamstring injuries. Note: Th...

Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion and Peter Howitt have been awarded this year’s Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.The three are sharing 11 million Swedish kronor, over a million dollars, after being recognised for their work in the area of “innovation-driven economic growth”. But why does this area matter and what did the three economists actually do? We turn the tables on our presenter Tim Harford, to explain all.If you’ve seen a number in the news you think we should take a look at, let us

From a single thunderstorm to a region-spanning rainfall system, mesoscale convective systems organize storms for hours by tapping moisture and vertical wind shear. We unpack what MCS are, their two main flavors—MCCs and squall lines—and the surprising afterlives of MCVs, which can drift hundreds of miles and even seed tropical cyclones such as Hurricane Barry. A look at why these mesoscale networks matter for Great Plains rainfall and the larger energy transfer in the atmosphere. Note: This ...

From the DHR no-go theorems to the revival of 3D parastatistics by Wang and Hazard, this episode surveys the possibility of finite occupancy per quantum state in three dimensions. We trace Miller’s critique of indistinguishability, the idea that pair particles could emerge as emergent phenomena in exotic quantum systems like Rydberg simulators, and the new information-theoretic constraint—invariance under quantum permutations—that could decide the matter once and for all. Note: This podcast w...

Explore how continuous change led Sophus Lie to fuse geometry and algebra into Lie groups and Lie algebras. We’ll build intuition from circles and matrices, explain the tangent-space Lie algebra, the Lie bracket, and the exponential map, and show why local linearization captures almost all the physics and geometry—yet global topology can still surprise us (SO(3) vs. SU(2)). We’ll connect to Klein’s Erlangen program and modern physics, from rotations to the Standard Model. Note: This podcast w...

Send us a text It’s here — the Word Problem Workshop book is officially out in the world! Every teacher knows the struggle — students disengaged, confused, or quick to say, “I’m not a math person.” This book was born out of that challenge. It’s a response to years of listening to teachers, watching classrooms, and realizing something had to change. 🔗 Listen, Celebrate, and Join the Movement 🎧 Tune in to the full episode to celebrate the launch of the Word Problem Workshop book and hear ...

A visual tour of Francis Galton's bean machine and the birth of the normal curve. We explain how countless random left-right bounces produce a bell curve via the binomial distribution and the central limit theorem, with a nod to Pascal's triangle and the idea of regression to the mean. We also explore how changing the pins reveals other distributions and touch on the historical context behind its use. Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.

A layperson-friendly dive into Faraday waves—the standing surface patterns that emerge when a liquid is vibrated vertically. We unpack the parametric-oscillator physics behind subharmonic resonance (waves at half the drive frequency), and how the frequency, amplitude, and fluid properties—viscosity, density, and surface tension—shape thresholds and pattern types like stripes and hexagons. Explore stability, transitions to chaos and solitons, and the surprising way viscosity can change under s...

A deep dive into peat bog mummies—how acidic, cold, and oxygen-poor conditions preserve skin and soft tissues while dissolving bones—and the dark histories behind famous finds like Tollund Man and Lindow Man. We explore the science behind the preservation, from skin tanning to bone dissolution, and then examine the competing theories—ritual sacrifice, execution, and social estrangement—through modern forensic tools. Using radiocarbon dating, stable isotopes, CT scans, and facial reconstructio...

Join us as we explore TOI-2267, a 190-light-year system where two cool M-dwarfs orbit incredibly close (about 8 AU apart) and host three Earth-sized worlds. The two confirmed planets, TOI-2267 b and c (≈1.0 and ≈1.14 Earth radii) orbit the primary in a delicate 3:2 resonance, surviving in a chaotic gravitational environment, while a third candidate, TOI-2267.02, could be lurking around the secondary star. If confirmed, this would be the first known binary with transiting planets around both s...
