All of "Domestic Science" online and iPlayer download |
|
|
|
If you missed any of our Radio 4 series, don't fret! You can binge-listen to the whole lot in less than an hour, until this Friday when Episode 1 disappears:

If you're listening outside the UK, these links should work fine for you to stream every episode to your computer, tablet or phone browser. The Hot Chocolate Effect, gastrointestinal bacteria songs and the mathematical way to a perfect cup of tea will soon be yours! Plus your domestic problems answered with science and/or maths.
Unfortunately "due to unique way the BBC is funded" the shows aren't available as a podcast, but if you're in the UK and a few other territories you can download iPlayer Radio and listen to them all offline until Friday. From then onwards, one episode will fall off every week untll the last heads into the ether on Friday 9th September.
Oh - and don't forget to tell us @FOTSN - and @BBCRadio4 and @BBCComedy - what you think of the show. We've got all our fingers, toes and Möbius strips crossed for Series 2, and positive comments will help us convince the commissioning gods.

New YouTube videos from Helen, Steve and Matt |
|
|
|
Featuring Helen (as physicist Emmy Noether) plus YouTubers Hank Green of Vlog Brothers, Derek Muller of Veritasium, Baba Brinkman and more.

Steve gets down and dirty with an enormous sheet of latex and an electric drill in his latest video.
Surprisingly, it's totally safe for work, as it's a really nice demo of gravitation waves. Maybe all that LIGO data will make sense now?

If that's not enough, you can also watch unedited footage of a cup of tea cooling down. Seriously. |

Last few shows this year, plus 2017 UK tour news |
|
|

We're headlining the first New Scientist Live event at Excel London on 23rd September, with a special show featuring Helen Keen.
Tickets aren't the cheapest at £25 for general entry to the event, or £45 for the VIP ticket that includes us at 4.30pm, plus Dara Ó Briain talking AI, and an apocalypse simulator. If you're interested, you can get £5 off VIP tickets with this link. |

We announced our biggest ever " Evening Of Unnecessary Detail" in the last newsletter, and already 100 earlybird tickets have gone and almost half the regular tickets have flown out the door.

We aren't doing many gigs this Autumn, but we'd never miss Robin Ince and Brian Cox's "Christmas Compendium of Reason". Apart from us, and a few other names you might recognise, the line-up is top secret but always amazing.
All profits go to charities including Médecins Sans Frontières UK and the Sophie Lancaster Foundation. Just a few seats left!

Some of you have asked when we are next on tour near you. That's perfect timing as we've starting to plan our Autumn 2017 UK tour, with a totally new show.
It does mean some of you will need to wait a year before you can get your local Nerd Fix, but if you're close to London, Cambridge, Brighton, Edinburgh and possibly Belfast, we're most likely doing a few short runs in those places as we work up a new touring production.
And a DVD of "Just For Graphs" is still in the pipeline, slowly but surely. Basically, keep watching this space...

If you like what's in this email, please pass it on.
And if you haven't seen our last tour show "Full Frontal Nerdity" on DVD or download, head here to get your copy from just £π, plus other ludicrous π-priced merchandise.
There are only a few of our "Girls Who Are Boys" five-way Venn diagram tees left: just one each of Large and XL, and a dozen or so Mediums for the bargain price of £tau.
Until next time, stay nerdy,
Helen, Steve, Matt
