Hi! I missed you guys since last week!! Seriously, I love doing this podcast and if you are reading this, I love you too! Anyway, I thought we would get spooky for our thirteenth episode and talk about the science behind the Salem Witch Trials. It was awful and sad, and definitely a different episode than I normally upload so I hope you give it a listen!! Thank you for listening and if you enjoyed it, or not, leave a rating or review!

Spaghetti and Spaghettios (String Theory)
Hi! Listen in to what I deem the funniest episode yet, where I am tripping over myself to understand and hopefully get you to understand (as much as we can) about string theory. Even if you never wondered, there are some fun jokes and if you even just wanted to listen to me get dramatic over existence, it’s worth a listen! Thank you for listening and if you enjoyed it, or not, leave a rating or review!
