Lexx Education
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.

Wow, classic but modern energy to this episode. It's a slight re-do episode through nobody's fault and the science siblings are swinging wildly between best buds ever and fractious as all hell.
Laura forgets the word carbon, Ron gets cross, they chat, they ask the big questions like "how long does a horse last?" and they get the job done!
Inorganic ions is the topic, as if that wasn't obvious, Laura doesn't seem to know what an i...

This week, like the algae on Washington DCs reflection pool, we're covering water.
Ron is desperate to get through the last of this section of science and Laura manages to valiantly remember what a molecule is for the first time in 4 years. Progress.
We look at properties of water, we sing, we discuss a potential animal uprising, we consider life on earth and Laura solves a huge question mark about lizards.
We hope you enj...

It's a history episode today! Everyone loves history!
We're finishing off the age of exploration with a shallow dive into Francis Drake and some other swashbuckling colonialists. Ron & Laura are in the second half of a double record and they a still chatty and gabby and scatty and all over the place although I think some good content is gone over.

Hello science fans! Hello non-science fans who like sibling squabbling! Hello people who just like hiding in a corner of the world that is shambolic and real. There we go, apart from the science fans, that's our demographic covered.
This week we actually do some science! Ron is keen to get ATP covered and between constant diversions including tomato allergies, a mole pirate, a neurodivergency assessment and the way AI will kill us...

It's another episode of Lexx Conversation today as there is literally no science to be found anywhere. Your favourite podcasters go down memory lane discussing weird things that happen at school in the UK, especially regional differences in vocab, and basically just kind of what they've been up to recently.
Apologies for the unexplained hiatus last week, it just happened. Laura is exceedingly busy at the moment. What do you call...

It's an early morning record for the science siblings as they get in the episode recording before Ron disappears off with Agony Dad on a sailing trip.
This week they're exploring the replicating of DNA by metaphors of ladders and whatnot... and, would you believe it, it's actually a very good learning episode! Stuff goes in, Laura gets some things right and there are very few fallings out. Enjoy!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! *does John Oliver pat on the desk and then spread arms in glorious welcome*
It's a history week this week at Lexx Education HQ and we're learning about the Pandora's Box of the modern era where all of the horrid things of the world are released into the world.
We add a lot to the Patreon list, we discuss spicy meatballs, Tom's hatred of the Uncle Fester bit, and a lot of different bits and pieces i...

It's not that we didn't try to do any science but unfortunately it just didn't happen. We're not perfect. We are not perfect beings. So welcome to another episode of Lexx Education, it's not a mess around epsiode so we've dubbed it a "catch-up episode". It's a full dose of chat. All chat, all the time. Chat chat chat.
We chat about Laura's strange taste in films, Ron's holiday, Laura's work, new/old Stath and a lot of different bi...

Hello and welcome to Lexx Education, the comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy normal younger brother Ron.
This episode is definitely one for the connoisseurs - new listeners... it's best you don't start here! Are they low energy? Yes. Are they sullen? Yes. Are they also hysterical at times? Also yes. It's got everything like a muesli with some poo in it. Enjoy!

Hey, you alright? Fancy seeing you here.
It's Lexx Education, the only podcast made by two siblings from Somerset where one is a comedian and the other one is a fucking legend.
More nucleotides today, and a genuine compliment from Laura to Ron on his teaching which was a lovely moment.
There is a lot of bobbish at the top of today's episode so settle in for a lovely chinwag with your besties.

It's history week on Lexx Education! This week Laura and Ron continue their quest through Elizabethan life with a look at the theatre. There's a certain amount of preamble but then after that they get stuck into theatrical developments and the work of one W Shakespeare... with a little quiz at the end for old time sake. Enjoy!

This week on Lexx Education, we're diving into nucleotides — the building blocks that make DNA and RNA tick — with the usual mix of genuine science and complete nonsense. Expect tangents, questionable analogies, and a fair amount of ribbing Tom for his luscious, full head of hair (some of us are just built different, apparently). Grab a cup of tea and settle in.

It's too hot and we're sorry for this messy and frankly shoddy epsiode, we tried our best and frankly did more science than I think either of us were expecting.
We talk Mock the Week, we talk Dakota in it's various forms (not the state), bad album covers, and enzymes enzymes enzymes on this episode of LEXX EDUCATION!

Hello and welcome to, what is, in Laura's opinion, one of the funniest episodes of Lexx Education we've had in a while.
We again try to conquer the world of proteins and enzymes and whatnot but end up worrying about causing the downfall of civilisation due to accidental bird poop ingestion and whether the Rolling Stones should have mainly sung about cousins. Enjoy!

Welcome buddies to another lovely episode friends, and if I don't say so myself we are currently in a spate - a spate of what? Well, true fans would know what I'm referencing.
It's a history episode and we are locked in on Elizabethan fashion and architecture. Lovely stuff! What's your favourite fashion from back in the day? Have you ever worn a ruff? Pot pourri in your cod piece?

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! It's the comedy science podcast where this week the science takes a back seat to two siblings catching up... we know for you there's been no break but for us there was a little intermission in recording while Laura and Ron travelled separately and so in this episode they fill each other in on their ramblings.
We cover Laura's accidental move to the far right, Ron's latest nig...

It’s Mother of the Podcast’s birthday (on recording, not on release and she’s very sad that none of you sent cards). It’s a lovelier episode than pesto is a lovely sauce, Laura is fresh off the place from Kilkenny and Ron is staying with parents of the podcast and sick of the TV.
We hope you love us!

The earliest episode they have ever recorded! Laura is croaking and not really fully awake, Ron is a little more peppy and delighted to reveal his Gavin and Stacey news... Laura and Ron commit to yet another watchalong on the patreon.
The science... well it's some of the clearest they've done recently. Still looking at the structure of an amino acid but they keep it short and sweet before too much arguing can commence!
