Featuring Ologies, with Alie Ward https://www.alieward.com/ologies “Oh heyy, it’s the lady in front of you in the checkout with twenty-six items, who doesn’t realize she’s in the Express Lane and is fully oblivious to your glares... Alie Ward, back with another episode of Ologies!” - Scorpiology (SCORPIONS), April, 2019 Calling all science goofs! Or anyone interested in learning from the experts about the science of spiderwebs or drunk butterflies, to procrastination and books made of human leather. This podcast is for you!! With each new episode, the quirky and entirely relatable hostess Alie Ward introduces her listeners to a new “ologist”, or expert. Some of these scientific geniuses are famous throughout the world of science, while others do research in fields so rare that they don’t even have an official name. Either way, Alie Ward manages to pull them out of their labs and share with her audience the life-changing insights and perfectly useless trivia facts that her guests have to offer. Ologies finds the perfect balance between in-depth interviews with some of the most intelligent people you will ever hear from, and the hilarious authenticity of Alie Ward’s reactions, references, and conversations. Ologies explores hundreds of different topics and sparks inspiration for the scientist inside every listener. No matter how boring or dull an “ology” may seem, by the end of each episode Alie Ward and her guests have the audience thoroughly “wowed”. This podcast answers the questions you have always wondered about but have been too afraid to ask - Does peeing on your jellyfish sting ACTUALLY help? (Toxinology with Anna Klompen). How, exactly, do slugs reproduce? (Malacology with Jann Vandetti). Why are there so few people voting in the election? (Political Sociology with Mindy Romero). And what’s the deal with all that junk in outer space?? (Space Archaeology with Alice Gorman). Maybe you’re curious about animal friendships and evolution. Maybe you are quietly and embarrassingly obsessed with the sciences behind cannibalism and bread baking. Maybe you’re trying to educate yourself about gender expression or just wondering what the deal is with worms. Whoever you are and whatever your motives are for taking that first sip from the Ologies goblet, expect Alie Ward to become your favorite eccentric and deep diving guide to the universe.
