S1E5 - Episode #5 - Arsenic

It's been called the king of poisons and poison of kings, but did you know that arsenic is used in car batteries and semiconductors? Or that it is an essential dietary requirement for hamsters? This week Carys and Joe are joined by guest host Elizabeth to chat about the toxic element. They also play the usual games: "Science Fact or Science Fiction?" and "Secret Scientist".

Probably Manchester's best student-run science-themed radio show and podcast! Every episode is themed around a particular chemical element. Presenters Fergus, Carys and Joe chat about what makes each element interesting and what it is used for, as well as playing science games and interviewing real-life scientists about their research. Think science and fun repel like particles with the same electric charge? Think again!
