Description

The elixir of life, the fountain of youth, the holy grail...immortality! many have sought and dreamed of such a cure to aging and life's woes. However, this fantasy is starting to merge quickly with reality as scientists the world over have re-focused their attention on several species of flatworms known colloquially as planaria (the same one used to demonstrate regeneration in your eight grade science class.) These simple and unassuming worms hold some amazing adaptations and may just hold the key to living forever.

The longest running (and most popular) science podcast for those of us who got kicked out of class for throwing pencils at the ceiling. Adam and Noah are skeptical twin brothers whose separate journeys through professional science and engineering led them to a ridiculous notion: that reality is strange and barely understood. Unfortunately they just didn't have the attention span to listen to any science podcasts without wanting to gouge their eyes out with a spoon. If you've ever wanted to listen to more podcasts about cosmic quandaries, evolutionary mysteries, and giant creatures living underneath the ice of rogue planets but just can't stand academic rambling delivered with a nasally voice, then this podcast is for you.
