    About this Episode

    Hellooo. today we're going to talk about how the solar dynamo causes sunspots to form. 

    and we're doing it with David Malki!  

    this episode is pretty rad.

    listen past the end music to hear a lot of silly conversations. there are a lot of them. :( why does my show have to be half an hour of ramming physics down your gullet? why cant i leave the funny and distracting stuff in context? If you know the answer to these questions, email me, and I'll give you a prize.
