Livin’ la Viva Voce is a series dedicated to bringing academic scrutiny upon a myriad of topics, using the age old art form, the PhD defence. Join us, Meg & Adam, as we put our skills to the test, and construct PhD vivas in under a week on a topic randomly selected by the other. Oh and did we mention? We’ll be drunk whilst presenting!
- 37 - "Should...High School...bE pAiD?"
This week, Meg, Adam, and their new guest Caroline(!) attempt to answer the brief: "should universities be free?"
Sat, 22 Jan 2022 - 36 - Delicious Wine and the New Age of Pregnancy
This week, Meg, Adam, and Aubrey explore human cloning! Aubrey discusses the new age of pregnancy. Meg shares deets on a pro-LGBTQ+/pro-immortality cult. Adam, as per usual, plugs The Guardian.
Fri, 14 Jan 2022 - 35 - What came first: The PhD Student or the Supervisor?
This week, Meg, Adam, and Aubrey attempt to answer: "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" Adam and Aubrey get clinical - Meg goes in a gastronomic direction.
Fri, 07 Jan 2022 - 34 - Prinzessinnentausch: Wieder vertauscht (XXXmas Special)
What with the holidays and COVID, Adam and Meg have been busy relaxing and healing. Anyhoo - enjoy this special recording of Adam, Meg, and Aubrey reacting to Netflix's "The Princess Switch 2" in German with Spanish subtitles! Tschüss!
Sun, 02 Jan 2022 - 33 - Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!
It's the return of Aubrey as our guest supervisor, and our last episode with the lovely Becca! This week, we answer, "what is the deal with human sacrifice?" Adam - as usual - offers some disturbing stats. (Boo!) Meg and Becca get DEEP about motherhood and COVID. (Yay!)
Fri, 10 Dec 2021 - 32 - Look at All These Chickens!
Adam, Meg and their guest Becca research and present on whether we should own non-domesticated animals as pets. Meg and Becca play fox and hen. Adam claims that CATS aren't domesticated??? Meg and Becca lose their shit. All in a day's work.
Sun, 05 Dec 2021 - 31 - Digital Abstinence
This week, Meg, Adam, and their new guest researcher, Becca attempt to answer the question, "How does technology affect children growing up?" Hilarity ensues!
Sat, 27 Nov 2021 - 30 - Wooly or Won't He?
TOOT TOOT! IT’S ICE AGE WEEK, BABY!!! This week’s brief: “should we bring back mammoths with genetic modification?”
Fri, 19 Nov 2021 - 29 - Astro-Nots
Episode two, baby!!! Join Meg, Adam, and Bee this week as they attempt to answer: “Is burying bodies the right way to intern the deceased?” Spooky spooky!
Fri, 12 Nov 2021 - 28 - Cats! (The Ph.D. Defense)
We are back, back, back, back, back again! Joining us are guest supervisor, Aubrey, and guest researcher, Bee. The prompt this episode: "Why are cats assholes?"
Fri, 05 Nov 2021 - 27 - Zipline
This is the last episode of the first season! Congrats, you made it! Adam's talk, "The Longest Stuff" is not about Billy Joel. It's about zip-lines, and other heartwarming things.
Fri, 01 Oct 2021 - 26 - Yonkers
We imbibed! So this week's talk is half about Yonkers (or rather, a weird piece of architecture about 10 miles north) and half about kettle chips. SPECIFICALLY the betrayal we experienced consuming Kettle brand's jalapeño potato chips.
Fri, 24 Sep 2021 - 25 - Xanadu
What is Xanadu? Glad you asked. Adam's talk this week attempts to answer. Strangely enough, his research is mostly a film studies lecture about Olivia Newton-John and roller-skating...
Fri, 17 Sep 2021 - 24 - Westminster
Okay. So. We don't get drunk these last four episodes. Instead, we rely upon a certain green substance that is permissible in a state like New York. (Or a country like Canada!)
Sun, 12 Sep 2021 - 23 - Volta
Let's be straightforward here. Adam's talk this week, "Can an Underwater Society Use Electricity?" is a doozy of a floozy. Alessandro Volta, Atlantis, Adventures! Enjoy :)
Fri, 03 Sep 2021 - 22 - Utopianism
Wanna know how to BOOST your happiness? OPTIMIZE YOUR JOY?! Thomas More, England's garden cities, and the good ol' UN are here to help! Synthesized rather nicely in Meg’s talk, of course.
Fri, 27 Aug 2021 - 21 - TetrisFri, 20 Aug 2021
- 20 - Sycophant
What do Uriah Heep, Dr. Jeffrey Steadman, and Waylon Smithers have in common? They're all sycophants!
Fri, 13 Aug 2021 - 19 - Rabid
Adam's talk this week, "Absolutely Rabid: Vaccinating Against Disease" is an outcry for pro-vaccine action! Give it a listen!
Fri, 06 Aug 2021 - 18 - Quintuplets
What do the Olsen twins, the Dionne quintuplets, and Gosselin sextuplets have in common? They've been pretty mistreated by folks who want to earn a crap ton of money! Meg's talk delves into the exploitation of multiple-birth children this week. It's an eye-opener!
Fri, 30 Jul 2021 - 17 - PneumaticsFri, 23 Jul 2021
- 16 - Open SourceFri, 16 Jul 2021
- 15 - NicaraguaFri, 09 Jul 2021
- 14 - Mid-Season SpecialFri, 02 Jul 2021
- 13 - Mastercard
Cards, cards, cards! Come get yer cards! Does it really make sense for Meg to talk for 30 mins about credit and debit? No thanks. As usual, her lateral thinking triumphs.
Fri, 25 Jun 2021 - 12 - Limoncello
This week our alcohol-fuelled show is about alcohol! Adam talks (and drinks) LIMONCELLO! Hilarity (and plagiarism) ensues...
Fri, 18 Jun 2021 - 11 - KorribanFri, 11 Jun 2021
- 10 - JuggalosFri, 04 Jun 2021
- 9 - Imola
Our first episode recording TOGETHER! (Reunited and it feels so good<3) After a week of illness and travel (not COVID, fret not), Meg's talk, "The Lady of Imola: Caterina Sforza" marks the triumphant return of Viva Voce!
Fri, 28 May 2021 - 8 - High-DefFri, 14 May 2021
- 7 - Georgian
Now I know what you're thinking: "Meg's an eighteenth-century British literature scholar. SURELY - PLEASE GOD - she's gonna talk about Georgian era texts right?" WRONG. It's gonna be about MONKEYS!
Fri, 07 May 2021 - 6 - FibresFri, 30 Apr 2021
- 5 - Environment
This week, Meg's talk, "Line of Doody: Sh*t Your Gut Says" takes Adam on an exploration of his insides! From bougie probiotic regimens to fecal transplants, this one gets a little stinky. (And yeah...we promise we won't stoop to poop ever again!)
Fri, 23 Apr 2021 - 4 - Dinosaurs
Remember that short-lived television series, Dinosaurs? No? Perfect. This week, Adam’s talk “Are you Listening yet? Dinosaurs, The Simpsons, Family Sitcoms and framing Progressive Politics in relatable sentiments,” takes us on an emotional roller coaster in 90s TV storytelling. Buckle up! Meg gets really really drunk in this one.
Thu, 15 Apr 2021 - 3 - Computers
Meg's talk this week, "The Highly Irrational: Computing Conspiracies in the Modern Age" is all about COMPUTER CONSPIRACIES (duh duh duh!!). It's mostly wacky (did someone say wingdings?), but we get pretty deep at the end. Go on - give it a listen.
Sun, 11 Apr 2021 - 2 - Burgundy
Are you OBSESSED with Pantone’s shade of burgundy, 19-1617TCX, and how companies disrespect its precision? Drunk Adam is! Drunk Meg...not so much.
Fri, 02 Apr 2021 - 1 - Antiques Roadshow
Meg presents her first viva on the high and low points of the Antiques Roadshow, the highly successful BBC and PBS daytime series. Four glasses of wine/gin in, and hilarity ensues.
