Welcome back to the first Information Entropy Podcast of the year! In this episode, we are looking at new facts, new beginnings, and how you can make the most out of your new years resolutions! We introduce our new intro and outro for the year – yes it is ridiculous… but what’s a laugh eh? Mitch explores why the new year is a good time to set resolutions and how you can be SMART about making and sticking to them. Tom on the other hand looks at why January became the first month of the year in the first place and asks the simple yet unintuitive question of… how old is the water in your cup?

Welcome back to the final Information Entropy Podcast of the year! In this episode, we see out the year with a bit more of a relaxed approach (is that possible I hear you ask… well maybe?)! Mitch and Tom reflect on their 2025 resolutions and whether they achieved them and whether it was a good year all in all. Mitch goes on to analyse what makes a film a “Christmas” film by scientific and cultural definitions and the boys get into why love actually is terribly flawed… but perhaps that was the point. Tom examines why so many family holiday gatherings can turn sour… perhaps it’s inevitable at some point! Music: HOME – AWAY

Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week we return to finish off our investigation into CRISPR and genetic engineering! In this episode, we skip straight to the fun stuff where Mitch explores the potential for humans and AI to hack the biological instructions with malicious intentions... how far away are we from AI altering our DNA? Tom takes a look at Gene Drives, a system that allows humans to alter the inheritance chance of positive and negative genes and traits that could have devastating ecological consequences if unleashed on the world. In addition to that, the boys get ahead of themselves and rant about Christmas movies and the capitalistic nature of the holiday season. Music: HOME – AWAY
