The Very First Episode!

The Very First Episode!

It's the pilot! AHH! This episode Julian looks closely at an alternative evolution of human knees, and Trace bends backwards to explore what would happen if we could perceive more colors. It’s an alternative evolution episode!

We're so excited to get this thing out to y'all, and we're proud of what we've made. We hope you love it! If you have feelings, please give us a rating on whatever podcast app you're using to listen. Those ratings and reviews really mean a lot to future listeners! Thanks a bunch!

QUESTIONS

Julian: "What if humans evolved with backwards knees?"

Trace: "What if we evolved to see more colors?"

That's Absurd Please Elaborate is made by Julian Huguet and Trace Dominguez, two professional nerds whose day job is to create content for PBS, Discovery, Vox and other award-winning publishers. In this show we use our decades of experience in science communication to answer the most ridiculous questions from guests, the audience, AI-bots, and the Internet™!

Submit your questions with this form: https://notionforms.io/forms/have-an-absurd-question or email them to hello@thatsabsurdshow.com. If we use it, we'll give you a shout out in the episode!
