Fire up your Bunsen burners and join award-winning comedian Laura Lexx as she attempts to pass her Science GCSEs (all over again) with the help of nerdy younger brother, Ron. Every week the squabbling siblings dissect a topic from the baddest educational document on the planet - the UK’s National Curriculum. Microbiology, magnetism, manganese...can long-suffering Ron explain atomic structures or will Laura be forever banging her head against the periodic table? Whether you love thermodynamics - or ridiculous family dynamics - Lexx Education takes you back to your school days to find out whether it’s possible to relearn your GCSEs...or be forever doomed to looking things up on Wikipedia.

Lexx Education - Is that lentils bulgur wheat or...?
play

07/03/22 • 51 min

Welcome back science fans! Physics Lesson 1 is about to begin... having beaten biology and conquered chemistry, Laura is back to form a physics philosophy (it was the best we could think of for that, shut up).

Physics doesn't so much get off with a bang, more of a teensy weensy whimper of pain as Laura realises she hates physics and Ron is forced to admit he's not that keen on it either.

The siblings start to learn about standard units of measurement, and how to calculate energy transfers. Laura soon realises that unless she can put something into practical use it is largely pointless and thus begins the procedure of making all science about her dog so that she cares.

Do you have any better ideas for how to get physics into Laura's brain? Get in touch. You can email us at [email protected], or you can contact LexxEducation on all the social media platforms where we will be happy to chat all things science and learning with you.

Lexx Education - Humiliating Orange Pen
play

08/07/23 • 59 min

Welcome to Lexx Education - the only comedy podcast where a brother teaches a sister science. There’s a weird amount of science this week. An usual amount of science. Like they are both concentrating or something.

Laura and Ron look at the rate of reactions in chemicals. HotP is also around. Laura and Ron are showing off in front of him and it shows.

There’s a lot of pens stuff. Ron is very distracted. There’s Minecraft chat as per. You hear Ron’s heartbreak about 28 minutes into the lesson when they discuss chloride. All in all, it's got everything you could ever want 60 episodes in to one of the weirder corners of the podcasting world.

09/11/23 • 62 min

Hellloooooooooo! A big sciencey welcome to everyone who has survived the terrifying heat this weekend and is now embracing life on the other side of all that pit sweat and climate crisis reality.

We are back in the world of biology this week... looking at METABOLISM in all its glory. Laura and Ron have a lovely time until they nearly come to blows over how breathing occurs when running. For two people who never run they have vehement opinions on it. For the record, HotP agrees with Laura for once.

Anyway, the London Podcast Festival is THIS WEEKEND so PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PLANS AND BUY A TICKET: https://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/lexx-education/

This week it's biology and specifically: respiration! Aerobic and anaerobic! Ron tries to get Laura to understand the difference between the two and Laura sort of follows until the quiz... where it all falls completely spectacularly apart. Terrible ending to fairly interesting conversation.

08/28/23 • 60 min

Welcome to another beautiful hour in the company of Laura Lexx, comedian, author and all round science dunce. Every week her patient normal brother Ron tries to teach her some more of the GCSE combined science syllabus and Laura spits it back out in a ball of insults.

This week it's chemistry and Ron is trying to get Laura to understand equilibriums and reaction energy. Even Laura doesn't really understand the answers she's trying to give... then the pair of them get very sweary trying to persuade you all to come to the London Podcast Festival and watch Lexx Education.

Hello Lab Rats! We hope this episode finds you well as the autumn beckons and we hurdle into a new school term! It's September... what better time to lurch into a science lesson that is filled with apathy and misery.

This week we are looking at momentum... and ironically, the episode has none. But it's filled with the uniqueness that is Laura and Ron. Enjoy!

08/14/23 • 54 min

This week it's all about Issac Newton... or Benjamin Franklin, or George Washington or that guy that got in the bath. Either way, it's meant to be Newton and his Laws.

The science siblings are sick of paella and don’t want to do scalars and vectors anymore. Those are the headlines.

Lexx Education - A Ratatouille of Rotten Courgettes

Gird your loins, it's down 2.

Welcome to the comedy science podcast that leans heavily on the comedy as it wriggles away from the hideousness of science.

This week we have a lot to try and get through...

Vector and Scaler - Ron tries to use a metaphor that Laura should understand and discusses driving from Brighton to Taunton to try to get Laura to understand. It makes things much much worse. Like smearing mud all over your magnifying glass to try and get it to help you see more details.

We revisit forces and that goes exactly as well as you’d imagine. Some proper classic sibling science squabbles. But then they make up and really lose it over Laura’s inability to speak whilst thinking about fake horses.

Be warned, this is going to make you want to watch Despicable Me due to the immense use of the word Vector a la Vector.

It’s biology this week, and Ron is teaching Laura all about bacteria and antibiotics. The Somerset science siblings are coming to you from inside a pillow fort in Brussels. There’s no notepad and Laura and Ron are in the same room... chaos ingredients ASSEMBLED.

We recover vesicles and look at bacteria and how they attack cells. In trying to discuss convergent evolution they wind up discussing whether or not dolphins are attractive.

Then we're in to antibiotics and antigens and other exciting ways that the body fights off problems. Or are we?

This week Laura Lexx is back in the Physics Lab and oh boy is she furious about it! As her brother Ron attempts once again to get over his own disinterest in science and get her to concentrate, they have a look at energy transfers and how to calculate how much energy is used in heating and cooling objects.

Laura gets promised tea that never comes, but helpfully she does now know how much energy her kettle is using to make this hypothetical tea that never comes. Via a picnic at Tarr Steps, Ron teaches Laura about cooling down as well and they argue over whether formulas are useful or not. It’s one of their angrier episodes so you best enjoy it, because they didn’t.
