Deane on Hey Hey It's Saturday
It's a Brendan and Ben duo episode with an electric deep dive into Dick Smith Electronics, MacGyver's take on car phones, and a glimpse at the magical and terrifying time capsule of Hey Hey It's…
Exploring Your World
The trio reunites to dissect (not literally) The Mighty Ducks, deconstruct (not literally) modern advertising, and demonstrate (literally) why callbacks don't work if you didn't record the thing…
Mexican Jumping Beans
It's a Pod Full of Beans with Brendan and Ben, but not Tom, because his name does not share enough letters with the multifaceted legume. We talk jumping beans (both real and matchbox-tumbled foil),…
The Mystery of the Stolen Sheep
It finally happened, a Ben solo episode (not referring to Kylo Ren's given name, but maybe that'll be good for the algorithm?). Alone on a deserted highway at night outside of Litchfield in the Top…
Egg In A Bottle
We're going into the musical mind of Brendan this week as he and Ben celebrate the taste and fashion of a couple of budding dorks. If Tom was there it would be much trendier. And Deane shows us how…
Spin Dryer and The Book
The Prodigal Dubs is back with Tom and Ben to unsheathe a vintage copy of the titular book, as well as reminisce over top-loader washer-dryer combos, the truth behind centrifugal force, and of course…
Mona Lisa Smile
It's the Crisp brothers, Ben and Tom, sans the amazing Brendan and his amazing microphones, debating whether or not Mona Lisa is smiling, what happens when someone breaks the internet for real, and…
Expansion and Contraction
We're back! After Tom's travels to Japan and the U.S.A., the Mind Stretchers reunite to discover the joys of Fuji Rock Festival '25 and capsule hotels, debate which part of the dishwasher you'd…
Homemade Thermometer
We're back! From the disruption of flu and music tours, Ben and Brendan reconnect to discuss Deane's homemade thermometer experiment, Superman and the film music of John Williams, and how rainbows…
Ames Room
Brendan has props! Steve Mould's Assassin's Drink Bottle and its wandering knight cosy, Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections, and we return to the work of Adelbert Ames Jr as Rob and Deane…
Paper Clips and Puppet Heads
Brendan and Tom talk Mission Impossible, Deane shows us a topological treat with jumping paper clips and Rob crafts Punch-and-Judy-style papier mache puppets.
Mr Aphantasia and Simple Boot Jack
Brendan goes north by north-north at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, we get a call from Mr Aphantasia himself to tell us how it feels, and Dr Rob makes a simple boot jack that makes de-booting so…
Ship Around The Earth Puzzle
We did our homework about the Magic Potato Trick from last episode, and try to crack (or smoosh?) the puzzling question about which part of a ship travels furthest on a trip around the Earth.
The Magic Potato Trick
A magic trick with a potato, a knife, and a newspaper, gives more than enough food for thought - and a menu full of wireless transmission and cutting down into the quantum realm.
Nature's Bulldozer and Sultan's Rings
An outdoor examination of insects by Rob leads to discussion of shrinking, and Deane's magic trick involving Möbius strips unravels into the world of acoustics.
Ames Window and Folding Paper
We discover the much lauded Ames window optical illusion, with help from nephew Oscar, and our first clip of Deane and Rob's chemistry together as they banter over the impossibility of folding paper…
Three Hats and Mother Of Pearl
In this particularly laid-back episode, we take our time chatting about logic puzzles, zero knowledge proofs, and the surprising smoothness of balls. Plus, we encounter a moustache-less Deane Hutton,…
Optical Illusions
In our first episode, we try to pin down what this podcast is actually about while watching a clip from The Curiosity Show on optical illusions. Things quickly go off track as we end up talking about…
