Yackety Science shines a bright, but humorous, light into all of the darkest corners of the laboratory, the test tube, and the cyclotron. We find the comical in your cosmology, the droll in your hydrology, the booyah in your biology, and the golly-gee in your geology.Brian Cross and Matt Smith Ciencia

  • Episode 8: Carl Yagan in the Sky with Diamonds
    Jul 18 2025

    Chad Johnson joins Matt Smith and Brian Cross to go tripping through the doors of perception. The team takes on the therapeutic use of psychedelics and the sometimes tricky line between psychedelic scientist and spiritual guru. Matt gets in touch with his alchemical roots as he dephlogisticates the element oxygen. In the headlines, Moas rear their lofty heads, the Parker Solar Probe catches the solar wind, and scientists attempt to fix the “Matthew Effect.”

  • Episode 7: Boffo Brains and Bacterial Borgias
    Jun 27 2025

    In this episode, co-hosts Matt Smith and Brian Cross take on the tiniest assassins and the wanderlust of the North Pole. They say lego my LIGO in another installment of Disappearing Science, and they use their full brains to decry the unscientific silliness of Lucy in Yackety Science Ruins the Movies. And finally, geologist Claude Bolze stops by to talk trilobites, rock hunting, and the only natural way to cross the Arkansas River.
