Synopsis
Ben and Isaac have been friends since school. Ben knows quite a lot about science. Isaac does not. Isaac suspects that's part of the reason Ben wanted him as co-host of this science-based podcast. But it's not all bunsen burners and particle physics (very little of either of those things, in fact); this is a podcast that, through the power of alcohol, rambling chat and questionable claims, hopes to break through the boring jargon of textbooks and research papers to make science genuinely accessible and entertaining. And, on a more a basic level, its two mates having a chat over a couple of beers. If you like it, let the chaps know by rating or reviewing. If you dontdont. Cheers!
