The Radioactive Beach and the Family Laxative!

from Why Would You Tell Me That?

Yeah, sure, lots of us go to the beach to get a tan but what if the tan was less "St. Tropez" and more "Readybrek glow"?Neil has persuaded Dr Jamie Gallagher, a brilliant science communicator and expert in the Periodic Table to tell us the story of the UK's only radioactive beach.If that wasn't enough the lads then delve into exactly which element was used as a "family laxative" and and ask the question "is that as bad as it sounds?"SPOILER ALERT: IT IS. Sources: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/sep/21/stonehenge-under-the-hammer-stones-sold-100-years-ago-for-6600https://www.bostonmagazine.com/news/2016/07/31/jfk-scrimshaw/Presented and Produced by Neil Delamere and Dave MooreEdited by Cathal MinogueMusic by Dave MooreArtwork by Ray McDonnell Hosted on Acast.
