About this listen

 This is not your science teacher's show…unless your science teacher was unhinged, hilarious and emotionally scarred by group projects.

Explain Like I’m Dense is where science gets knocked off its high horse and dragged straight through group chat energy. We take the big, complicated questions about the world and give gloriously chaotic answers with zero shame and maximum sarcasm.

If school taught you nothing except how to zone out while pretending to take notes…if lectures gave you flashbacks…or if you’re just here for a good laugh, this one’s for you. You don’t need a lab coat or a degree. You just need curiosity and zero tolerance for jargon dressed as genius.

Because science doesn't have to be stiff. It can be real, ridiculous and funny.
So buckle up, buttercup!Copyright Explain Like I'm Dense
