Episode 3 - Basic Electrochemistry (with guests Spencer Johnson and Andrew Smith)

We start off this episode with a little bit of embarrassment and entropy, and then, with a little help from the humble potato, we answer that age-old question: between two electrode materials, how can you decide which one is going to be the anode and which one is going to be the cathode? In corrections corner, the focus is on nuclear power (special thanks to Rachel Bielajew for sending me lots of information!), but we also make time for butter and ionic liquids. This episode features guests Spencer Johnson (check out his band, Ms. Mack and the Daddies: or follow him on Instagram @yonszenshpensz) and Andrew Smith!
