Graham &amp; Ray answer listener questions (yes, we have listeners now), including one from a dog who is very concerned about how dependent human civilization is on the existence of the sun. (Dogs are deep, man). We also answer that critical question currently plaguing the Internet: is 2016 a cursed year for celebrity mortality?

Episode 10 – Boom Shakalaka! (Sweet, sweet potato)

Science Monkey is hosted by Dr Raywat Deonandan and Dr Graham Sanders. Yes, we are actually doctors. But we're not the kind of doctors who can get you drugs. Well, maybe we can get you drugs, but not in any legal way. We're the poor kind of doctors who get preferential seating on airplanes until there's an actual medical emergency, at which point everyone hates us, because we can't actually do anything.
