0:00.0	In a Japanese ceremony, who walks down the Virgin Road?
0:04.5	The answer to that, at the end of the show, my name's Tom Scott, and this is Lateral.
0:14.8	Roll up, roll up, welcome one and all to the Lateral Circus.
0:18.9	I am your ringmaster of riddles, gaze in amazement,
0:21.7	as the acrobats of acuity dazzle you with their mental gymnastics, gasp as they inch their way
0:26.3	along the high wire of reasoning and all without a safety net, apart from the button on the
0:31.1	screens that lets them leave the call if they need to, raring to go in their sparkly leotard.
0:35.6	First, we have from That's Absurd, Please Elaborate, and from PBS Stargazers.
0:41.3	Trace Dominguez, welcome back to the show. Hello. Of course, yes, I'm in the one in the sparkly leotard. I'm not surprised by that. I would. I would. I would do it. I am always wary of which order to introduce people in.
0:53.4	And I just look, you know what?
0:54.9	I'm going to go with Trace.

1:12.0	It's fun to design a new studio, but it means lots of mood boards. And what sort of things can we expect from the podcast? What have you
1:17.9	been working on? We've just released an episode with Sari Riley from SciShow Tangents. We've got an
1:24.0	episode from you a few weeks back, which was really good. And then we have coming up an episode with Rohan Francis from MedLife Crisis. So we're trying to get a few different guests and give Julie and my podcast partner a break and then, you know, motor into the holidays. Also return to the show, Dr. Molly Edwards from Science IRL and from quite a lot of other things. We have plant biologist
1:45.9	down here. And the question I had is, is there a difference between botanist and plant biologist?
1:51.9	Because I feel like there is. And I feel like no one's ever told me about that.
