I really enjoyed being on this one. Partly because my screwups were a bit better covered, but mostly because our guest was awesome - Dr. Mick Vagg, a pain specialist who's smart as a tack, interesting, and who talked about RANGAS! And I might have mentioned Scrubs. Twice.

Night shift struck again, so my dulcet tones were not donated to this episode. My amateurish attempts will be there for al to hear in the next one. This one had Pen, Lucas, and the return of Jo Benhamu.

Yet another late profile of the last few SoT episodes, up 'til the end of May and at the start of June.

This last SoT just passed, Ed and I interviewed someone rather than crap on about science news. It was a nice change, and it was very informative!

Direct link to mp3 file, around half an hour (can't remember and Ed didn't put up the time).

This episode was a week late, as fate and events outside our control forced us to abandon recording last week. But we soldiered on this last Thursday just passed, sansLucas, who'll be taking an extended break from the show. The old crew one again!

The latest SoT was another sausage fest - Me, Lucas Randall and the inimitable host, Ed Brown.

We talked about the "woman in the red dress" study (and I use the term "study" loosely...), bacteriophages (viruses that attack bacteria), the frozen Copper Age man and his various maladies, fatarses in offices, CO2- ( Read more... )

I missed this episode due to work. And, as usual, I don't actually think it suffered from my absence. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Holy crap, I've been meaning to do this since....well, September last year. And obviously I've been negligent in my duties of obsessively documenting every Science on Top podcast that's been released, but I'm going to make up for it from now on!

So, for newbies to my Elgay, I'm involved in a weekly podcast called Science On Top (named after Prez ( Read more... )
