Just a blatant bunch of laughs with a pinch of nerdiness spiced up with goofiness and fun in a dumb way!
This is our attempt as a team for the 6th Annual Student Podcast Contest released on The Whimper Podcast audio channel.

Mr.Shounak Bhattacharya is the head of hiring and management at a world class institute for teachers, and is a true geek in quantum mechanics, and classical mechanics and physics in general. He also has a youtube channel called 'Physics for Students' with over 10K subscribers where he teaches these topics with great enthusiasm and interest.
His lectures are loved by his students and he loves to teach them with great storytelling too. A lot of times we think that professors from prestigious colleges can only be our source of inspiration to gain knowledge and advance curiosity, but people like Shounak sir prove it to be very wrong. Don't believe me?
Listen to this episode and tell me yourself. This has been one of the most complex and thought provoking conversations on the channel so far and I hope you enjoy it.

Event Description:
In this audio live event we'll be talking about science communication, it's importance, how one can get started, it's scope in the upcoming future and why you need to be one, as Naval Ravikant says, "If you can't code, start a blog, create content and write, and do podcasting."
In the end, we'll be diving into astrobiology, what it is and how one can get started in the field and so much more as go along the way.
A script is a bad way to perform a show, but a structure gives it meaning.
