  • Summary

  • The french revolutionaries wasn't just into lopping off heads, they were really keen on measurement standards too. Why measure temperature between brine and armpit when you can use a decimal scale? Why keep a yardstick in a cheese dome when you can measure length with the immutable speed of light? James tells all, and unveils the smallest hill upon which he's prepared to die for accurate measurement.

    Science, possibly.
    A podcast in which James Lees and Chris Stewart share stories that are definitely science-adjacent.
