Inside the Mind and Life of Albert Einstein

About this episode

The episode explores the life and theories of Albert Einstein through a comedic lens.

If this man had to keep his brain in a jar, it would be one of those giant ones full of pickled eggs you see at the chippie. German-born theoretical scientist and mathematician Albert Einstein is the twentieth century's most famous man with a moustache who didn't start a war. Einstein was a genius who came up with many theories, many of which are far too complicated for anyone to understand. So thank Christ that Douglas and Hugh are here to explain them like you're really thick. Which, of course, you aren't. Come with us as we take you inside Einstein's mind and also gasp at his rather remarkable life. We'd also like to state for the record that some of Douglas's own theories featured in this episode are currently awaiting verification. ----- History for You with Douglas and Hugh is a spoof comedy podcast about history written, performed and produced by Adrian Mackinder and James Devonshire , with music by Mike Jones .
