I remember the second, ba-p-p-pah-pah-pah.

You're listening to the regular features science podcast.

Yes, that's right.

We're here every week with the best of crowd-funded science.

And we've done some fantastic science over the past month, haven't we?

With insane EU-funded science since we stayed in the EU after the referendum. Yeah. And a huge,

huge injection of really positive, optimistic funding that we've just been able to develop loads

of new gizmos. Absolutely. We've got bloody jet packs that are combined with capes.

England's launched into space. With your recent Pantsman charity drive for cancer has been

redundant because all cancer's gone. Yeah, I raised one pound. And then I gave that to a man

and he just so happened to have finished the cure for all cancers.

Well, yes.

Well, that pound, as we said, in this universe,

the pound is so strong that that one pound was enough to cure all cancer.

But some of our top EU-funded scientists have noticed a fluctuation on the space-time continuum, which does suggest that there is a splinter

universe running parallel to our own.

Ah, well, Steve, actually this week on the regular feature of science podcast, I've invented a beam

which can slice open splinter realities.

So what we could do this week is listen to a podcast

from a different dimension.

Wow, is that like the subtle knife
