About this listen

Laugh while you learn, as the classic game of telephone is repurposed for scientific research. Each episode, one scientist explains their research to a comedian, who then has to explain it to the next comedian, and so on until it's almost unrecognizable. See what sticks and what changes, with a rotating cast of brilliant scientists and hysterical comedians.© 2020 Avo Media Science

  • #10 - Tuxedo Cats vs. Sweatpants Cats
    Jul 14 2021

    The gang busts out their best equations for Mathematical Biologist Dr. Kit Yates, who takes comedians Sophie Buddle (This Hour Has 22 Minutes), Nima Gholamipour (The Slowest Show), and Adam DiMarco (The Magicians, The Order) on a journey into why Tuxedo Cats are so freakin' well dressed.

    Dr. Kit Yates is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mathematical Sciences and co-director of the Centre for Mathematical Biology at the University of Bath. His latest book, The Math of Life and Death: 7 Mathematical Principles That Shape Our Lives, is an equation-free look at how mathematics governs every aspect of the world around us.

  • #9 - I Should Mention That the Fish Are Screaming
    Apr 9 2021

    The gang takes a deep dive into everyone's favourite part of the fish: the eyeballs. Guest scientist Tareq Yousef illuminates how we see light and dark for comedians Alistair Ogden, Alannah Brittany, and Ryan Beil. We also consider calling the ethics committee on Ryan, who is maybe torturing French Salmon.

  • #8 - If Something is Dangling, It Doesn’t Sound Great
    Feb 16 2021

    Great science comes in teeny tinsy teeny packages, as the gang discovers when Dr. Roshan Achal does his level best to explain atomic-scale manufacturing. Helping him assemble big ideas atom-by-atom, we have Ronald Dario, Allie Entwistle, and Mark Chavez on the line. Let's get small.
