Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast for our final show of the year. Join the boys as they take a festive approach to science exploring the past year and rambling all the way. Mitch explores where Christmas as a holiday originated along with its various traditions such as gift giving and lights in our trees. Tom looks at the neuroscience behind finding and receiving the perfect gift as well as some festive biology and finally some facts! The boys take a chill approach to the final show of the year so sit back and relax and we’ll see you all next year. Music: HOME - AWAY

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where Tom is a lone rambling madman taking you through one of his favourite science topics: Vocal Learning. Where does language come from? Why do different places have different dialects or accents? How can we learn where language has come from through the comparative assessment of behaviour with other animals? Well you're in the right place to get all of the background information on this complex topic! Music: HOME - AWAY

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where we’re exploring the incredible: Australia! We’ve been away for a little while so we’re a bit rusty and tangents are abound in this episode (so be warned). But why does Australia host such a diverse range of species? Why do some of those species hop as their main form of locomotion and have their underdeveloped young crawl up into their puch after 30 days of pregnancy? Yes, Kangaroos are that weird. And why can everything kill you out there? Well, look no further as we have the answers! Music: HOME - AWAY
