☕ The Richie Firth Coffee Machine Investigation
Richie’s coffee machine is broken. What are the economics of a good coffee machine?
🍯 Date Syrup: Delicious or Date-ly Disappointing?
We review date syrup and ask whether this sticky sweetener deserves a place in your kitchen — or whether we should all just stick to golden syrup.
🦖 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters & The Square-Cube Law
We review Monarch: Legacy of Monsters and learn about the square-cube law: the scientific reason giant creatures like Godzilla run into some fairly serious engineering problems. Science, monsters and a surprising amount of maths.
🎯 Richie Previews Beat Luke Littler
Richie takes a look at Netflix’s Beat Luke Littler. Can the world of darts deliver the entertainment, drama and questionable confidence we’ve come to expect?
📚 PLUS — London Falling on Patreon
Over on Patreon, Richie and Chris review London Falling by Patrick Radden Keefe — a brilliant book that gives them plenty to get their teeth into.
🎙️ Mildly Informed returns, with Absolute Radio’s Richie Firth and The Bugle’s Chris Skinner once again tackling life’s most important questions… and answering almost none of them.
This week’s episode brings together coffee technology, an alternative sweetener, giant monsters and the world of professional darts — with a little science thrown in for good measure.
It’s another episode that jumps from the inner workings of Richie’s coffee machine to the physics of Godzilla, before landing on Luke Littler and a brilliant book about London. Just another week on Mildly Informed.
