Episodes

  1. Exams etc. (2 of 2) - Episode 12

    Another week into the school term, and here's another episode of Anant, Eugene, and myself talking about something very far departed from exams. Starting where last week's episode left off, we begin with names and end with more names, which is a first for our discussions. If any notable scientist...

  2. Exams etc. (1 of 2) - Episode 11

    Now we're all back at school (or, should be, at least) and exams have been cancelled, these are all pretty interesting developments for those in Year 13, going into university next year. Hence, Anant, Eugene, and I decided to have a little conversation about said developments which, of course and...

  3. Concrete - Episode 10

    This week, a topic which I'm very passionate about: concrete, although most of the episode is about cement. If you're wondering what the equations are, see the main ones here: CaCO3 -> CaO + CO2 2CaO + SiO2 -> 2CaO SiO2 3CaO + SiO2 -> 3CaO SiO2 3CaO + Al2O3 -> 3CaO Al2O3 4CaO + Al2O3 + Fe2O3 ->...

  4. Chicken and the Egg (2 of 2) - Episode 9

    Following on from last week's episode with Kyle and Matilda, we have, you guessed it, the second part of that conversation with Kyle and Matilda, spanning the breadth of medicinal drugs to languages and university. Yes, we deviate quite a bit from the "Chicken and the Egg" debate, but, what is a...

  5. Chicken and the Egg (1 of 2) - Episode 8

    We're past Valentine's Day now, and life is somewhat back to normal, without everyone's Instagram stories being filled with couples pictures of bygone ages. This week's podcast covers the age-old debate of "What came first: the chicken or the egg", with Kyle and Matilda. A trio of oddities, sure,...

  6. Nuclear Fission Reactors - Episode 7

    We're almost at Valentine's day and what greater gift is there than a podcast about nuclear fission reactors? It's a rhetorical question, since there are no gifts greater than that. In the wake of a presentation I gave regarding the topic in my A-Level physics set, I bring all my accumulated...

  7. Catch-up with Henry and Francois (2 of 2) - Episode 6

    Happy February, all. We're one-twelfth into the year and things seem to be improving here in the UK, at least. Trying our best to alleviate the stresses and strains of lockdown, Henry, Francois, and me bring you all the second half of our conversation that we began last week regarding the…

  8. Catch-up with Henry and Francois (1 of 2) - Episode 5

    A quick quarantine catch-up with Henry and Francois, where we talk about weebage, a lot of Genshin Impact and we even touch on how effort can be easily ignored with the use of money, in the examples of gacha games like Genshin Impact or even AAA titles such as Star Wars: Battlefront 2. This is…

  9. Pelagius and Ethics - Episode 4

    Another solo venture this week, with Q rambling within the confines of theology, namely Pelagius and Augustine, moving swiftly on to the beginning of morality and rules and laws. Of course, these questions cannot be simply answered within the span of a podcast, but interesting topics are raised...

  10. Time (2 of 2) - Episode 3

    The second part of a two-part temporal discussion with Anant, Eugene, and me. This episode carries on directly from the previous one, so, if you haven't yet listened to last week's episode, I advise you do that first. This episode itself tackles a bit of computer science, more philosophy, and…

  11. Time (1 of 2) - Episode 2

    A dive into time, and all three of us (Anant, Eugene, and myself) allow ourselves to be caught in the ebb and flow of the tide, leading us to discussions of time from the perspective of education, its prominence in film, and the sciences (namely physics and biology). This is the first part of a...

  12. Jaffa Cakes - Episode 1

    A dive into the debate of whether Jaffa Cakes are cakes or biscuits, and then an extension of whether there is a correlation between labels and proficiency in the subject in which the label is concerned. A shorter episode this week, enjoy, and see you next week!

  13. Introduction - Episode 0

    A look into a podcast series in 2021 by the not-an-expert Q and his band of merry men, women, and variations thereupon. Merry Christmas!
