Learn It from a Layman

We take on yet another non-layman subject in calculus. We discuss derivatives and integrals. We talk about real-world uses of calculus including predictive models and passing tests in school.

With much of the world currently doing distance learning or homeschooling, we offer teaching insights from a teacher with well over a decade of experience. We discuss teaching methodology and how to motivate your students. We also share our experiences with homeschooling and how to make learning from home effective, if not enjoyable.

We revisit physics, this time discussing the four laws of thermodynamics. We discuss asymptotes and absolute zero and then move on to the benefits of LED light bulbs and physics-themed band names. 

Dr. Kaid Harper, PhD in Organic Chemistry, joins the podcast along with returning guest soon-to-be-MD Dr. Jonny Neilson to discuss the chemistry of viruses and coronavirus in particular. We discuss the development of drugs and vaccines to combat viruses and steps necessary to bring them to the consumer. We also look at the effects of the coronavirus on various industries and how chemists soon will be online gamers.

We welcome Officer Gibbs to our podcast and ask him all our highway patrol questions such as: Which hurts worse, pepper spray or taser? What speed do you get pulled over at? What's the weirdest stop you've had? Officer Gibbs gives us a great overview of what life is like for a patrolman and great advice for what not to do when you get pulled over.

Join us in tackling the various aspects of music. From musical theory and the physics of sound waves, to the Shakespearean take on music and musical eras, we discuss what you need to know and why learning music is valuable. We recommend instruments to learn, talk music vocabulary, and explain sheet music.

We have a soon-to-be doctor visit the podcast, so of course we talk about home improvement. From claw hammers to the kitchen sink, we discuss all the ins and outs of home improvement projects that the layman can attempt, should attempt, or should definitely not attempt.

Where did our calendar come from? Why is December the twelfth month, not the tenth?  How do you make time slow down (other than by listening to this podcast)? We tackle these subjects and more as we explore the history and future of time and how it affects us.
