Lexx Education
Hosted by lexxeducation · EN
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 - or ridiculous family dynamics - Lexx Education takes you back to your school days to find out whether it’s possible to relearn your GCSEs…or be forever doomed to looking things up on Wikipedia.

They Can And They Have
2w ago00:44:41Tap to summarizeHey, you alright? Fancy seeing you here. It's Lexx Education, the only podcast made by two siblings from Somerset where one is a comedian and the other one is a fucking legend. More nucleotides today, and a genuine compliment from Laura to Ron on his teaching which was a lovely moment. There is a lot of bobbish at the top of today's episode so settle in for a lovely chinwag with your besties. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

3w ago00:57:06Tap to summarizeIt's history week on Lexx Education! This week Laura and Ron continue their quest through Elizabethan life with a look at the theatre. There's a certain amount of preamble but then after that they get stuck into theatrical developments and the work of one W Shakespeare... with a little quiz at the end for old time sake. Enjoy!

4w ago00:44:10Tap to summarizeThis week on Lexx Education, we're diving into nucleotides — the building blocks that make DNA and RNA tick — with the usual mix of genuine science and complete nonsense. Expect tangents, questionable analogies, and a fair amount of ribbing Tom for his luscious, full head of hair (some of us are just built different, apparently). Grab a cup of tea and settle in. 🔗 All our links: https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jul 600:57:56Tap to summarizeHello and welcome to a very special fourth year anniversary episode of Lexx Education! The Comedy Science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy, non-comedian brother Ron! As is our tradition on our birthday, we invite a guest to be part of Lexx Education and this week sees us chatting to the ever delightful Robyn Perkins. Frankly it's astounding she's not been a guest before as her passionate science comedy shows have become a staple of the festival scene over the last decade. Robyn's shows Comedy for the Curious and Shrink Wrapped are touring the world in Australia and the UK and are well worth seeing at a festival near you. She joins us this week on Lexx Education to chat about coral and nudibranchs... her favourite sciencey subject. Happy birthday you delightful nerds! Here's to four more years!

Jun 2900:43:46Tap to summarizeIt's too hot and we're sorry for this messy and frankly shoddy epsiode, we tried our best and frankly did more science than I think either of us were expecting. We talk Mock the Week, we talk Dakota in it's various forms (not the state), bad album covers, and enzymes enzymes enzymes on this episode of LEXX EDUCATION!

Jun 2200:49:48Tap to summarizeHello and welcome to, what is, in Laura's opinion, one of the funniest episodes of Lexx Education we've had in a while. We again try to conquer the world of proteins and enzymes and whatnot but end up worrying about causing the downfall of civilisation due to accidental bird poop ingestion and whether the Rolling Stones should have mainly sung about cousins.

Jun 1500:52:56Tap to summarizeWelcome buddies to another lovely episode friends, and if I don't say so myself we are currently in a spate - a spate of what? Well, true fans would know what I'm referencing. It's a history episode and we are locked in on Elizabethan fashion and architecture. Lovely stuff! What's your favourite fashion from back in the day? Have you ever worn a ruff? Pot pourri in your cod piece? Big up Sarah McQuaid! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jun 800:48:57Tap to summarizeHello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where this week the science takes a back seat to two siblings catching up... we know for you there's been no break but for us there was a little intermission in recording while Laura and Ron travelled separately and so in this episode they fill each other in on their ramblings. We cover Laura's accidental move to the far right, Ron's latest night train, why he hates France, why Laura hates Cornwall and much much more. Next week we'll be back on the history bus.

Jun 100:44:32Tap to summarizeIt’s Mother of the Podcast’s birthday (on recording, not on release and she’s very sad that none of you sent cards). It’s a lovelier episode than pesto is a lovely sauce, Laura is fresh off the place from Kilkenny and Ron is staying with parents of the podcast and sick of the TV. We hope you love us!

May 2600:41:48Tap to summarizeThe earliest episode they have ever recorded! Laura is croaking and not really fully awake, Ron is a little more peppy and delighted to reveal his Gavin and Stacey news... Laura and Ron commit to yet another watchalong on the patreon. The science... well it's some of the clearest they've done recently. Still looking at the structure of an amino acid but they keep it short and sweet before too much arguing can commence!
