Enough, with the Science!

Joe and Senan come back in from the cold to discover what causes our weather in this episode. Yes in part 2 of our delve into the mysteries of the atmosphere, we'll be talking about wind, rain, lightning, greenhouse gases and the joys of living in a permanently soggy climate, where every day is a soft day.

The air we breathe. We can't see it, we can't feel it, but luckily it's always there, like warm blanket protecting us. Join us for part one of our glide through the mysteries of Earth's atmosphere. There's definitely something in it...

It's time for time! On this week's show we explore all the different ways that animals, plants and the human brain keep track of time, and make sure that things happen when they ought to. And we'll discover how salmon might even be masters of quantum physics.

Halloween will soon be here, so what better time to talk about dark monsters. The real ones! Yes it's time for our plunge into the depths of Black Holes. Along the way we'll find out that the scariest things in the universe can even make spaghetti. But the main ingredient is YOU!

Find out what happened when your two hosts took a deep dive into slime and goo. There's sticky, stringy gloop all over this episode. It even got tangled in Issac Newton's wig, as he fired up nature's slime cannon.

Welcome to Season 2! Joe's been up all night worrying about the end of the universe, and wondering where all the energy is going to end up. Senan's attempts to explain what energy is all about, fail to reassure him the slightest little bit. And now he's worrying about cats too...

Moon dust! Nobody worried about it before we went to the moon, but it turned out to be the stuff of nightmares. Tune in to this week's show to find out all about the clingy lunar pest.

This week we are setting sail in our space yacht, to voyage around the outer planets of the solar system. We'll discover that a gas giant is not in fact an overweight comedian, and how one of them in particular is humanity's saviour. 

It's time for part two of our quest to unravel the mysteries of the electromagnetic spectrum. We'll tune into radio waves, feel the heat of infra-red and see what's inside of x-rays. And of course we'll discover why everyone might have taken a wrong turn on GPS, thanks to Einstein's time-bending theories.

Ever wondered what radio waves, light, heat, UV, x-rays and gamma rays have in common? Join us for part one of our deep dive into the electromagnetic spectrum, and you'll find out. Oh, and yes, you'll also discover why ice is a source of heat.

Welcome to the one about rockets. Senan's enthusiasm for this subject is off the charts, and Joe does his best to reign in the torrent of rocket facts. Which is all very well till he discovers that all the satellites are indeed falling!

This week we are digging up some extinct human species. Well, not exactly 'human'.  Human-like or pre-human is probably a better way of putting it. Whatever you want to call them, join us for a tour of the many different species who looked a bit like us, but weren't fully human, and who sadly have all gone extinct. And yes, two of them really are called Lucy and Nutcracker.

This week we are taking you deep beneath the waves, to find fun on the sea floor. Who would have believed it, but there's an ocean of cool facts out there, just waiting to be lampooned. From Zombie Bacteria, via the Whale Superhighway, to the Jacuzzi of Despair.

This week we are taking a deep dive into the wacky world of paints, dyes and colours. What is colour anyway? We'll find that out, and along the way take you on a trip through the many weird things that people have done in the name of colour.
