Regret Labs science podcast
Did you study hard in science class? Neither did comics Aric and Levi. Regret Labs is their attempt to make up for lost time. In each episode they attempt to explain a scientific concept and then invite a guest expert to join them and tell them how very wrong they are.
Hosted by two improvisational comedians (myself and my friend Levi) in their 30s who love science but missed the boat in their education. We try to make science accessible for people like ourselves people who don't know a lot about science. We take the first step to help them feel more comfortable with asking questions and daring to learn.
We start the show by speaking about what we currently know on a topic. Usually, it's embarrassingly little. Then we bring a guest on to teach us about the episode's scientific topic. And then we follow it up by recording a week later and going over what we retained from our guest.
Hopefully it gets more people out there interested in science and education by making it interesting and entertaining.
