The Natural History Museum – a fine institution full of dusty, dead things. A bit like the House of Lords. Satire.

But how do you get into the Museum’s collections? Win a raffle? The X Factor? Who kn…

Things haven’t always been fair at Christmas. In the old days, before the Snapchat, some people didn’t get everything they wanted.

Women. They haven’t always had it easy. But there are some who fight…

Ooh be do. I want to be like you. I want to walk like you, talk like you. Ooooh.

Modelling yourself after successful people can have ups and downs. For every “being open to new ideas” there’s a “wake…

Aaaaaaaachoo! Oof. Sorry about that. I really must stop rubbing my face with things I’m allergic to. Like cats.

Of course scientists are doing their best to cure us of diseases – and to do this they …

The 1980s. Cool music, solid haircuts, adventurous films and neoliberalism. Everything a decade should be.

And it was when the big, successful computer companies started their rise. And not only the …

Guns. Dangerous things. Well, one end is. Really as long as you’re not standing in front of the little bit on the front you’ll be okay. They never point that out in gun statistics do they? What about…

Scientists. What are they like, eh?

Not content with filling the world with “facts” and “ideas” they’re also very fond of weird experiments. One minute you’re waiting for the 49 bus, the next you’re …

BOOM!

I love mushrooms. They’re a tasty and healthy alternative to meat. And they’re great fried in butter, like so many things in life.

But what about mushroom clouds? They don’t taste so good in ga…

Pie charts. Not as fattening as the name suggests. They’ve been miscommunicating information for a long time now, and baffling people with their unnecessary 3D effects.

Of course the reason we have t…

Wait, 2 counter-clockwise turns off the upper-level should… No… 3 clockwise rotations of the left-most sector will… No.

We all hate Rubik’s cubes. Hate them completely and utterly. More than life its…

Have you ever had one of those friends? You know the type, will get you into trouble and then disappear when the going gets tough. Irish. Co-writer of the podcast you make. Named Brian. I think I may…

I bet you love all those expensive comic book super hero films, don’t you? I can tell by the pyjamas your you’re wearing. Well, have you ever wondered what it’s like for the people who help them? You…

Space. A big, empty void full of nothing. That’s what the AST writers have to contend with every month. So, the easiest thing is to take someone else’s idea. PARODY!

We’ve been here before with this …

Woooooaaaahhhhh! Wooooooaaaaaahhhhh! Scared? Enough to make you rethink your life choices and embrace the Christmas spirit? Of course. That’s how it always works.

We have gone totally Christmas Carol…

Travelling around the country is fun. And you can increase the fun by searching the airwaves to find local radio stations to listen to. The playlists, attitudes, and opinions have remained remarkably…

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, and due to the fact I’ve been cloned it’s very similar to the wool you already have. Ah, I love a classic nursery rhyme.

Get ready for this, …

Nemesesises’s. We all have one. Whether it’s the newsreader who always seems to be giving all the bad news DIRECTLY TO YOU, or the man whose evil plans you keep thwarting. Or that guy who’s sleeping …

Bah bah bah bah! Bah bah bah! Bah bah bah bah! Bah bah bah bah bah!

You recognise it don’t you? Don’t you? Come on. No it’s not that one. The other one. The one with the guy in the hat. No I can’t ju…

They can’t get rid of me, you know. Do you know why? Because I know where the bodies are buried. The sweet, valuable bodies.

That’s right, AST is going all dark and deathy. The best way to listen to …

How does one make oneself a success? Is it by finding something one enjoys and making that a profession? Or by pursuing a successful profession that already exists?

Frankly, we don’t know or care. We…
