Listen "Round 5 - Vodka"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to Thirst for Knowledge where two nerdy people try to answer all your (and our) questions about your (and our) favorite alcohols.
It's frosty and chilly, at least where one of us lives, and that calls for something that will warm your belly. In this episode we talk all about the science, history and fun facts of vodka.
Join Ben and Dr. Lex as they stir some martinis, because that's the correct method. Learn with us about distillation versus fermentation, what monks have to do with vodka and whether certain alcohols produce worse hangovers.
Pour yourself a glass and come and learn along with us.
And always remember to drink, and science, responsibly.
Thirst for Knowledge is an Erevna Media and Science Actually production. Our audio engineer is Dimos Katsis.
