Chris narrowly avoids Sandy only to await a second storm. Rob is stormless so far. Were talking about the lack of methane on Marrrsss, more talking animals, and how to spot a rainbow on another planet.

Chris is in Sweden, Rob is in England, Skype is... not working very well. We chat about exoplanets, Swedish coffee, Planet Hunters and beluga whales - though not all at once.

Chris and Rob are continents apart and discussing the aurora, the Nobel prize(s) and whether or no we live in a huge computer simulation. Chris has a new book out - Rob has been reading about the Parkes Telescope. This is the first podcast in ages that we dont mention Marrrs.

The Heroic Toothbrush

Podcast 48 (20.9mb, Mp3)

Chris forgets and Rob remembers that its been a year since Recycled Electrons began! If you have suggestions for the honour of ORE (Order of Recycled Electrons) then please tweet us @recycledelec. We discuss Voyager 1, Nerdiversaries, and quantum teleportation. Chris obsesses over knots on Mars, and Rob has been learning about meringue.
