More Antikythera finds, recent volcanic activity on the moon, frozen poo capsules, shaven voles, and the scent of brewer’s yeast.
Tree-hugging koalas stay cool, gum tree genome sequenced, and ISEE-3 probe returns after 36 years. Claims of the Turing test being passed, the affects of gut bacteria on malnutrition and an ark for yeast cultures.
Treating phobias while you sleep, auto-brewery syndrome, no methane on Mars and no aliens on Earth. And the life story of a whale, through its ear wax.
The Ig Nobel Prizes honour achievements that first make us laugh, then make us think. We take a look at this year’s winners: from dung beetles to penis amputations!
Reality TV on Mars, beer, Denisovan genome, brain destroying bacteria and more!

I have enjoyed this podcast b/c it is very funny banter about science stories but there is also a serious edge to the analysis. It's proof that you can be amusing and entertaining as well as giving the science content its due. Highly recommended weekly listening.
