A podcast about the wonders, weirdness, (and sometimes woes) of academia. In each episode Professors Kurt Andresen and Ian Isherwood bring in a guest from academia and ask them questions about their passions, quiz them about their subjects, talk about their sartorial predilections, and have them try brand new cocktails based on their academic interests. The Ivory Tower may be crumbling, but we plan making the best of it as we rummage through the Ivory Attic.
