The Bright Club Podcast
Summary: This intellectual comedy podcast is anchored by Steve Cross, who is joined every week by a star from the world of comedy, and a researcher from UCL, London's Global University. Together they tackle the really big questions, like: Are there penguins on Saturn's moons? Who was the randiest archaeologist of all time? Does owning your own laser make you more attractive to women?
