Four Science Podcasts Worth Your Ears

The Curious Kitchen

Each episode takes one everyday food and explains the science behind it: why bread rises, why onions make you cry, why ice cream stays soft. Episodes are 20 minutes, and the host interviews a scientist at the end. Best for listeners who like to cook.

Sky at Night, Explained

A monthly programme about what you can see in the night sky without a telescope. The host describes where to look and when, and explains the stories behind the names of stars. No science background is needed.

Small Things

A podcast about insects, microbes and other creatures too small to notice. Episodes are short, often under fifteen minutes, and full of strange facts. The host has a quiet voice and a good sense of humour.

Engineering Stories

Interviews with people who build things: bridges, robots, racing bicycles. Each guest explains a problem they solved and a mistake they made. Episodes are 40 minutes, so this one is for longer journeys.

21. Which podcast is useful for someone who likes cooking?

A. Sky at Night, Explained.   B. Small Things.

C. Engineering Stories.    D. The Curious Kitchen.

22. What is special about Small Things?

23. Which podcast is best for a long train journey?

C. Small Things.     D. Engineering Stories.

B

The summer I turned fifteen, I decided to grow vegetables on our roof. My father laughed, but he helped me carry the boxes up the stairs. My mother gave me a packet of tomato seeds and said, “Don’t expect too much.”

She was right. The first seeds died in a week. I had watered them every day, which, it turned out, was too much. The second planting lived, but produced four small tomatoes, each the size of a coin.

I could have stopped. Instead,I read everything I could find about soil and water. I learned that tomatoes like deep roots, that basil grows well beside them, and that a roof gets hotter than a garden, so the boxes needed shade in the afternoon.

The third summer, I had more tomatoes than my family could eat. My mother suggested I sell them at the Saturday market. I stood behind a small table for four hours and sold almost nothing. People looked at my tomatoes and walked on. Finally, an old woman stopped and asked why they were so small. I explained that they were an old kind, grown for taste rather than size. She bought two, and came back the next week with three friends.

That was the beginning. By the end of the summer I had regular customers, and a notebook full of their requests. One wanted yellow tomatoes, another wanted herbs for tea. The next year I grew what they asked for.

I am nineteen now, and I still grow vegetables on the roof. The boxes are bigger, and the notebook is full. What I learned on that roof had little to do with gardening. It had to do with failing, reading, and asking people what they actually wanted.

24. Why did the first planting fail?

A. The seeds were too old.   B. He watered the plants too much.
