Transatlantic Gravitas : Guest : Daniel Orvomaa

Saison 8 · Épisode 6

jeudi 19 mars 2026 • Durée 01:22:45

How do we explain this one? It's the 'Part Two' of Kovi and Benjamin's previous episode where they were waiting for their guest, Daniel Orvomaa of the Talking Ass podcast, who never showed up. It's 'Part Two' of a double episode done with the Talking Ass - 'Part One' of which is available on the Talking Ass right now. It's also Daniel's third time on the show but only his second time rapid-firing through the Questions & Quibbles at the end. Kovi kicks us off talking about islands and atoms, and then the gang discusses what's going on with our moon missions?

When Protoplanetary Disks Start Throwing Things : Guest : Naman Bajaj

Saison 8 · Épisode 4

jeudi 19 février 2026 • Durée 53:14

There are 1.5 million freshly minted engineers in India every year. One of them, this week's guest Naman Bajaj, said, "well, I guess they've got enough of those," changed course, became an astronomer, scored an insane amount of time on JWST (that, in itself, is amazing - which totally rocked Kovi's and Benjamin's minds), and found that protoplanetary disks - baby solar systems - lose 85-90% of their original mass by the time they're done forming. They do so in tremendous, huge jets - some of which, in turn, spark the beginnings of other baby solar systems.

Join the gents as they just talk... well... they way they usually talk - NERD TALK. From NORAD, to data science, to something that goes great with maple, strawberry or blueberry syrup - Zel’Dovich Pancakes!

I Know You Are But What Am Ion?

Saison 8 · Épisode 2

jeudi 8 janvier 2026 • Durée 55:25

In this episode, Kovi and Benjamin dive headfirst into the Ig Nobel Prize, science’s annual celebration of research that makes you laugh first and think later. The lads cover everything from the prize’s origins and its wonderfully weird traditions to the unforgettable “winners” themselves, all while celebrating the curious, human side of scientific discovery. It is a reminder that science is not just serious. Sometimes it is very, very funny.

And because the Ig Nobels deserve a little swagger:

Iggy Iggy Iggy, can’t you see

Sometimes your prize entertains me

Thank you, Biggie.

Tune in to hear about her PhD journey, being a professional science communicator, what her son's favorite planet name is (nope, not what we thought either), and what does one actually do with a space inflatable planetarium?

Diamonds are a high-pressure scientist's best friend : Guest : Helen Maynard Casley

Saison 7 · Épisode 8

jeudi 13 novembre 2025 • Durée 01:08:23

Dr. Helen Maynard Casley, (one of) THE principal scientists at ANSTO (Australia's Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation), sets Kovi's and Benjamin's brains alight as she talks about working on the Wombat (not an acronym - Australians just like naming things after animals). Wombat is a high intensity neutron diffractometer that Dr. Helen uses to just scoop some neutrons out of a working nuclear reactor. You know, for kicks! You'd think that line of work would make someone glow, but not so! The reason she glows - or glowed - was when she helped set the Guinness World Record for longest glow necklace!
