| Atoms – They make up everything! | Did you know we have known about atoms for over 2500 years? Did you know that a kiwi scientist who went to school 15 minutes from where I lived proved atoms have a nucleus? Join me as I explore the evolution of the model of the atom to what we know today, tying in some Aotearoa history and a reflection on the ever changing nature of our scientific understanding along the way. Atoms really do…matter. – by Jack Clerke |

| Who Are You? | This podcast consists of the factual information about the psychology of peronality traits, that constant search for who you are, and how society has subliminally molded you. Complimented by the perspective of others on who they think they actually are. – by Sadie Wech |
