Death Row Phenomenon Joel Lee My introduction to the death row phenomenon and of course tiny little bits of the death penalty and the death row syndrome here and there Crazy Podcast Lydmyren Welcome to the London Toast Theatre Podcast!It seems about the right time for us to make a podcast about the story of London Toast Theatre because this year we are producing our 40th Crazy Christmas show. We produced our first Crazy Christmas show in a tiny 50 seat theatre in the center of Copenhagen. We then moved from theatre to theatre over the years until we finally arrived at the splendid Glassalen theatre in the Tivoli Gardens where we have been playing every winter for the last 31 years. This has given us the chance to continue to produce bigger and better shows over the years with a team of top professional technicians, designers and of course performers. So it has been an incredible journey over the last 40 years - and to hear more about it - tune in to this podcast! Produced by Lydmyren.dk Next Rep Athletics - Podcast 1 lexi williams In this episode, I introduce who I am and what I do for work/school and give a tiny glimpse into my athletic career over the years! Tiny Matters Multitude Science shapes every facet of our lives, but so much of its influence is overlooked or buried in the past. Tiny Matters is an award-winning science podcast from the American Chemical Society about tiny things — from molecules to microbes — that have a big and often surprising impact on society, past and present. From deadly diseases to forensic toxicology to the search for extraterrestrial life, hosts and former scientists Sam Jones and Deboki Chakravarti embrace the awe and messiness of science and its significance, asking questions like, "how was IVF invented?," "what do glaciers tell us about Earth’s ancient past?," and "why is smallpox the only human infectious disease we’ve eradicated?"
