{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Science Sideways","slug":"physicstutortaylor","podcastDescription":"

Physics meets chaos, comedy, and emotional intelligence. Revision for the easily distracted.

Science Sideways is a surreal revision podcast for GCSE and A-Level students who learn best through metaphors, mischief, and mismatched cushions.

Hosted by Jennifer Taylor, a fully qualified teacher, tutor, podcaster, and accidental corridor philosopher.

Each episode turns everyday mess into memorable physics lessons.

Expect trolley collisions, Kepler’s mum, and the occasional existential jumper.
