Hello and welcome to another smashing episode of Lexx Education! This week Ron is still on holiday so Husband of the Podcast Tom joins Laura for intros and outros but the episode itself is Laura and Ron having a gloomy old time going over early chemistry.

It’s a very low energy start where Laura is still mad at Ron for not telling her about moving house. Gnocchi the cat is there and Ron isn’t interested in any of the fun things coming up which really stifles Laura’s enthusiasm.

Recapping early chemistry… plum pudding and all that jazz. The gold foil test - Rutherford! Laura actually has remembered vast swathes of this stuff which let’s face it we’re all impressed with.

We move onto radiation which Laura claims to love but honestly doesn’t remember a second of because, wait for it, we’re not studying it in the same subject that we first covered it in. That brain. That swampy swampy brain.

Relative charge Laura has down… it’s like listening to a different podcast for a moment. Then we move on to relative mass and… holy crap she’s got it again.

Somehow we get on to religion for a while… it’s not even an RE episode. So much crossover these days. Back to the science and we’re looking at all the groups on the periodic table and then types of bonds.
