Description

Hello and welcome to another episode of Lexx Education! The comedy science podcast where comedian Laura Lexx tries to learn science from her nerdy younger brother Ron.

This week, at Ron’s insistence, the science siblings take on the spooky science of Halloween! Ron talks to Laura about the science of reanimation and zombies. He’s the most excited and happy you will ever hear him!

Ron talks about the science behind Frankenstein, and the developments in medicine that led to the interest in reanimation. There’s a reappearance of the Maki song, but with altered lyrics. They cover tobacco enemas, trepanning, drowning rescue techniques and other macabre details.

Ron brings the fascinating subjects of cordiceps and tranced up ladybirds and Laura tries her best. They round off the episode with toxiplasma - a fascinating insight into a real life way of making a zombie out of a rat and a cat. Truly horrifying.
