  • One of the best.

    Don’t listen to many podcasts but the chemistry here is great. It’s easy to listen too and you can really lose track of time getting answers to the questions you didn’t know you needed answers too.

  • Freezing rivers.

    Loved the podcast. Great idea. Those questions were great fun, and I’ve got a cool one…

    Warm air rises, cold air sinks so why does that not happen with water? If it did, it would be a disaster for aquatic life with rivers freezing from the bottom up!

  • I loved this and I have some questions

    What a fantastic pilot episode and cannot wait to hear more I have two questions.

    Do plants ever naturally die of old age?

    When they say “Good weather for ducks’ when it rains - do ducks actually like rain?

  • Enjoyable, interesting facts

    Really enjoyed this. Answered some interesting questions I had thought about but never looked up and bought up several I’d never thought about. Great banter between Dylan & Darragh.
