  • Jupiter Pizza : Space Places In Earth Places
    Kovi and Benjamin got together for slice at Jupiter Pizza. They loved the menu - some wood fired pizza options were the Cassiopeia, the Io, Galileo, Gaia, Mercury, Ares, and Triton. As fun as those names are, they pissed off Benjamin something royal. You see, the names are all spacey, yes, but pick a theme! We've got some planets (Ares was the Greek name fo the planet we now call Mars), random moons (from different worlds, mind you), an explorer, a constellation... It's all over the place! The eatery is called Jupiter Pizza - you'd think they'd have, at the very least, four pies named after the Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Nope! They didn't even refer to pepperoni as 'great red spots' - and that's just off the top of the head! Anywho, this episode was thought up in a pizzeria called Jupiter - so let's talk about places here on Earth named after places in space!

  • Nature Finds A Way : Guest : Inna Osmolovsky
    Tree lines are moving both toward the poles and uphill, as they try to reach cooler temperatures. Flowers in Japan that have been blooming at precisely the same time for hundreds of years are suddenly off schedule by a full week. This week's guest, plant ecologist Inna Osmolovsky, explains how this and more are due to climate change. Plus, as Kovi and Benjamin are primarily space nerds, she easily blows their minds with all kinds of interesting plant facts!

  • Talking Ass : Guest : Daniel Orvomaa
    Kovi and Benjamin were delighted to have the host of the Talking Ass podcast, Daniel Orvomaa, on their show. Or were they guests on his show? Someone was a guest on someone's show, we remember that. We do know that this is Part One of a two hour conversation that was had - and if you'd like to listen to Part Two, you need to track down the Talking Ass. It's the podcast with a tie-dye donkey as its mascot. For this episode, we meant to touch upon the rampant spread of AI - specifically it's misuse among students. More and more students are letting the likes of ChatGPT, ClaudeAI, Gemini, Copilot, Grok and more do their work for them, and in turn making those very same students weaker, less prepared, and crippling their educational experience altogther. We meant to discuss this - and did to an extent - but there's no telling where a conversation with a Talking Ass will go, no matter how well prepared.

  • Quantum Love : Guest : Chris Ferrie
    On this quantum episode of The Nerd and The Scientist, your quatum hosts Kovi and Benjamin have a great quantum conversation with quantum guest, quatum physicist Chris Ferrie. From his humble quantum journey from a small town in Canada to being a professor of quantum physics in Australia, Chris also tell us how he got into writing quantum physics books for babies, and why people put 'quantum' in front of everything just because it sounds cool. Quantum.

  • The Very Hungry Tardigrade : Bugs
    Kovi and Benjamin finally get a moment to themselves without having to entertain yet ANOTHER amazing guest. "What should we talk about, Kovi," Benjamin asked. "Bugs," Kovi snapped back. He wasn't serious, but Benjamin was. So now we have an episode about bugs in space - both living critters brought up for experiments, or software bugs that either almost, or did, bring on an early end to many a mission.
