A Podcast Of Unnecessary Detail is back!

Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts for new episodes as soon as they are released!


Looking for a science comedy podcast that doesn't skimp on the details? We've got you. One starting point sets off three different science stories from the trio behind comedy phenomenon Festival of the Spoken Nerd.


Stand-up mathematician Matt Parker, experiments maestro Steve Mould and geek songstress Helen Arney take a single phrase and use it to investigate things that might not seem particularly interesting on the surface, but become fascinating when you get down to the nitty and / or gritty.


Want to get in touch? We’re on Twitter @FOTSN, Facebook, Instagram or email us on podcast@festivalofthespokennerd.com.
