Lexx Education

Hello and welcome to another spectacular episode of Lexx Education! It's the cult classic comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy normal younger brother Ron!It all started way back in the day when pesky Ron moved to Brussels and Laura was worried she'd miss him and he'd stop talking to her so she forced him to start a podcast. Cut to over 3 years later and they're still here chundering their way through the world of science and sibling arguments.This week on the podcast there is minimal enthusiasm but Laura finds a reserve of hot dog energy and uses it to create a convoluted metaphor for saccharides that revolves around chariot racing. It's wild ride but some real retro zshush. We hope you love it...

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s a fresh take on the hit podcast, Lexx Education! Science, shmience, it’s history time. Season 3 is a bit different, and 1 in 4 lessons Laura is going to be teaching Ron history. We’re starting in familiar territory for Laura, and we’re talking sort of about Elizabeth 1. Well, we’re talking about her parents and the cultural atmosphere at the time. It’s a same room episode, it’s a good buddy time for all the pals and it’s a podcast as well!Come join the patreon, you ginger little virgins, all links are here.

Happy Halloween and welcome to Lexx Education... it's the spooky comedy podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn spooky science from her nerdy normal younger brother Ron!This week as it's halloween and Ron's all time favourite time of year for podcasting, they are talking spooky stuff! And we're doing a listener suggestion this week.A few weeks back Laura tried and failed to give blood and so one of our listeners, shout out Lovely Stephen, suggested we do an episode on blood transfusions, donations and all things blood. what a perfect idea for Halloween! So here we are... we hope you love it!

It’s another season 3 episode, and yet again, we are picking up biology from where we left it last week. We’re building, growing, we’re living and learning. It’s glucose again, alpha vs beta (and I’m not taking about Ron vs Laura). Laura struggles to comprehend tetrahedral shapes, we talk more about isomers and chirality. It’s fiery and fun. You love season 3, we can tell and we love it to and we love you. Join the Patreon you bozos.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education. It's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy, normal non-comedian brother Ron!This week they're settling in to the new A level routine and Ron is doing his bestest to get monomers and polymers into Laura's head. The idea is they'll breeze through monomers and polymers and then can focus on rotational symmetry and chirality but breezing doesn't happen and the symmetry is too much for her.Other than that the episode is a sterling success.If you would like to support the podcast then please do, you can go to patreon.com/lexxeducation and pledge a monthly or annual amount.This is also your last chance to see the cool kids live in 2025 (rhymes) so don't forget to get your tickets via https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation

It’s the first episode of season 3! We’ve sacked off chemistry and physics and we’re here with our biology blinkers on.However, we start off the episode with a bit of a Duolingo tirade. It’s the return of Gnocchi, it’s the return of Brussels, it’s the return of focus and love of pod. Then we talk about Laura’s bad week, because she has had a very bad week.The science in question is a topic intro to biological molecules - yes we’ve done this before, yes we’re doing it again.Enjoy the pod, join the patreon, all the links you need are here: https://linktr.ee/lexxeducation 

Welcome to Lexx Education - it's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron!This week it's the last of the stock take! Laura and Ron have been weighing up exactly how badly A Level is sinking in to the mulch of Laura's brain and are developing some shakeups to the format post GCSE.In this episode they just test just to be completely 100% sure she's not learning anything and lo and behold - she's not. So, changes are afoot!But for now, enjoy this lovely little trip down trying to understand physics for possibly... the last time.

The Coceo’s are back in business mode, starting with a retrospective of the Lexx podcasting empire, and then into some really collaborative and, to be honest, brilliant science. The grindset, mindset, never be kindset is becoming quite kind actually. We’re back on the stock take, this time taking a look at the success of the chemistry teaching so far and SPOILER ALERT it’s real bad. Real real bad. The massive shit that Child of the Podcast takes in the shower in the middle of the episode isn’t the stinkiest thing that happens.

It’s 8am on a Monday morning and two cool kids sit down to record their killer podcast. They are two absolute CEOs of podcasting… Laura and Ron. Siblings with that killer instinct for grind and mindsets.Gone is the old podcast where two friendly kids muck about around a science syllabus and here comes CEO podcasting from the people who brought you Lexx Ed the old version. Now it’s Lexx Ed the new version: grindset style.It’s a little bit more recapping of the syllabus that so far hasn’t gone in except now it’s corporate. Stylish. Productive and focused. CEOs.In this episode we get micro - we look deep into the nucleus and find out exactly what's going on in that little membrane envelope. Laura learns an important lesson about the difference between porous and having pores.To support the podcast and make it financially viable enough to continue go to patreon.com/lexxeducation and pledge your monthly donation.

We start off today’s episode with a lot of dog chaos, before veering into Harry Potter castings via Sister of the Podcast’s hair. It’s a special episode today, we’re doing a surprise pop quiz today to check in with Laura’s knowledge and understanding of A-Level so far. SPOILERS but not great. Sister of the Podcast, fan favourite, and all-round wonderful human being, joins us for an episode and we have a lovely time. Ron gets a dicky tummy halfway through so starts disappearing for large tracts of time, it’s a late and meandering record. Science fun for the whole family except for Grandma and Grandpa, they’d hate this. 

Heads up everyone - it's a weird one!Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger normal brother Ron!This week is weird... first Laura is away for the introduction so it's solo Ron. He always has a clanky energy about him and this week is no exception. If you like gentle stumbling through nothing - you will love this introduction.Then there's the lesson... but is there? See Laura and Ron have actually not recorded for three weeks so ACTUALLY there's quite a lot of catching up and a big reveal and then they half study half a sentence.Then the quiz... well, technically they're both there - they're just not both there together. You'll see when you get there.Then back to lovely little Ron in a box on his own for the outro.Even for us - this is a shambles of weird states. We hope you love it.Romantic Music: The Loop for Love by SergeQuadrado -- https://freesound.org/s/817422/ -- License: Attribution NonCommercial 4.0

Viewing discretion is advised, this episode about enzymes and the induced-fit model starts with a 10 minute argument about Laura and Ron’s relationship and how people spend time together and communicate with each other. However, when not squabbling, your favourite podcasters cover good science and have a lovely time. Recorded in a kooky order, it’s an extravaganza of Lexx Ed nonsense. Enjoy!

Laura tells Ron all about the new show coming up called The Paper - set in the world of The Office.In the lesson there’s a bit more pub quiz to finish off… this time it’s flags!There’s a huge meandering wander through the tea towel, through Stockholm Syndrome and through reminiscences of Bristol Harbour Festival before they end up anywhere.It feels like they might veer back into the big argument when Laura requests that Ron return to Bristol for more James Prestwood shenanigans and Ron refuses to commit.The science when they finally arrive there is Photons. Unfortunately Laura finds it very hard to get started because she’s concentrating so hard on jokes about the word Photon. Packets feature heavily in the desciption of photons etc. Rice. Ever heard light described like rice? Well, you will have by the time you finish this episode.It’s SUCH a short stop on the science before they’re distracted by several celebrities. Weirdly enough though, it’s Laura that drags them back on topic just in time to squeeze in Max Planck.They finish off with a nice bit of pre-holiday crossword solving. What more could you ask for?

C-I-T-Y you can see why, these doves the neat doves smart and streetwise. CITY DOVES.The show begins with Laura have had an hour off and so is in a nice relaxed mood. She's been watching Clarkson's Farm and the science siblings have a quick chat about how it's got a bit stilted lately. Then, they move on to the hot topic of Laura RSVPing to Ron's birthday party.The actual science is about co-valent bonds yadaa yahda yadda.A note from Laura: I purposely called her Rosalind Crick to try and infuriate Ron at the end but he didn't notice. He never listens to me. Just wanted to mention that here before I get told off by ole eagle eared listeners!Be like Liz Babb, join our patreon: patreon.com/lexxeducation

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! This week featuring a surprise interruption by a meat and fish guy which we've decided to leave in, in a move that prompted Tom to call us "despicable people". So that's nice, isn't it?The science is enzymes and active sites and all that kind of stuff but the real meat and bones of the potato podcast is the squabbles, the love and the sibling nonsense that you just can't fake. Enjoy!

Cool beans gang, here’s another episode of your favourite ever podcast, Lexx Education. We start off in the realms of new dog chat, we finally conceive Pod Michael Murray, crawl spaces, and then we delve into the misty murks of antimatter whatever the bloody hell that is. Fair warning, there’s a lot of ramble about a pub quiz which may or may not become the new Rob Schneider’s The Animal. Plus a surprise return of a fan favourite segment.💬 Show NotesWelcome back to another episode of Lexx Education!

This week, they tackle the mind-bending topic of antimatter. What is it? How does it work? And why does it have a connection to the universe's balance? With plenty of laughs and a few tangents along the way, the duo attempts to unravel the mysteries of the subatomic world.Will Laura manage to grasp the concept of antimatter, or will she get lost in the chaos of their banter? Tune in to find out!

This is the science siblings first lesson recording science before Ron went away to Sweden and Norway and so they’ve had a good month off recording together, so… it takes them a while to get into the meat and bones of the potato party.It begins with Laura having had some compliments this week and Ron trying to guess what on earth someone might compliment about Laura.50 bonus Lab Rat points to anyone who gets the Tom Builder reference.

Let us know if you want a special visit episode about the House of Marbles.Then the subject morphs from marbles to a potential moon tattoo to a pretty graphic discussion of potential tattoos and into junk.At the 14 minute mark of the episode there’s a feeling like the science is about to start. That feeling is fleeting. It’s so fleeting it’s not even a full fleet it’s a fle.Suddenly, via a fairly disgruntled person, they’re discussing TaskMaster which is Laura’s favourite new obsession!You might get a bit confused in the middle because you can’t really hear Tom asking me questions but that’s why I suddenly start having one half of a conversation you can’t hear. Do you enjoy the interruptions from CotP or should we editing more of this out?I won’t spoil what the quiz is about but it’s nearly as long as the episode. We are so bad at podcasting.--💬 Show NotesIn this episode of Lexx Education, Laura and Ron dive into a whirlwind of chaotic anecdotes, beginning with Laura's dramatic work call that leaves her a quivering mess.
