About Biologue

Biologue is a (mostly - unless we go off on a tangent, which is often) biology based science communication podcast. Your hosts are three (self proclaimed) delightful and hilarious undergraduates from the University of Manchester: Lotty, Kamila and Jack. Each episode we hope to impart our wisdom and opinions on all things science (anything from soviet agriculturalists to the corpus collosum), as well as interviewing scientific faculty and diving into their niches. So grab yourself a cuppa and join us for some Biologue... Content warning: Contains swearing

In which we discover the science of LOVE

In homage to St. Valentine (aka the patron saint of beekeepers and lurveee), this February we’re bring you an amorous episode of Biologue. In this episode we try to find Kamila’s love via a tweaked version of the Drake Equation, discuss the scandalous sex-lives of insects and fish, and ponder the neuroscience of falling in love. So, buy yourself a box of chocolates and get on down with us in the newest episode of Biologue.

episode In which we host a festive special artwork

In which we host a festive special

Welcome back to Biologue - we’ve missed you! This episode is a throwback to the holiday period, and we’ll be discussing some fun festive facts. From why we kiss people under the Mistletoe, to the shamanic origins of Christmas from the Tungus people, and even the neuroscience of the Christmas spirit. This episode is a melange of cheer, crimbo and (bizarrely) Jellyfish. So, go up to the loft to find your Santa hat, and make yourself a slightly out-of-date mulled wine - then settle down for some Biologue.

In which we play 2 truths and a lie

Episode 2 takes you through the latest (and greatest) current science news, from sharks and giraffe manors to the science of binge watching, we bring you all the latest stories we think you’ll enjoy. Also, as the name suggests, we’ll play the nerdiest version of 2 truths and a lie that you ever heard. So grab a slice of pizza and tune in.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
