  • Reflection, Christmas Movies, and Family Arguments
    Dec 19 2025

    Welcome back to the final Information Entropy Podcast of the year! In this episode, we see out the year with a bit more of a relaxed approach (is that possible I hear you ask… well maybe?)! Mitch and Tom reflect on their 2025 resolutions and whether they achieved them and whether it was a good year all in all. Mitch goes on to analyse what makes a film a “Christmas” film by scientific and cultural definitions and the boys get into why love actually is terribly flawed… but perhaps that was the point. Tom examines why so many family holiday gatherings can turn sour… perhaps it’s inevitable at some point! Music: HOME – AWAY

  • CRISPR 2.0: AI Manipulation and Gene Drives
    Dec 12 2025

    Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast where this week we return to finish off our investigation into CRISPR and genetic engineering! In this episode, we skip straight to the fun stuff where Mitch explores the potential for humans and AI to hack the biological instructions with malicious intentions... how far away are we from AI altering our DNA? Tom takes a look at Gene Drives, a system that allows humans to alter the inheritance chance of positive and negative genes and traits that could have devastating ecological consequences if unleashed on the world. In addition to that, the boys get ahead of themselves and rant about Christmas movies and the capitalistic nature of the holiday season. Music: HOME – AWAY

  • Wrapped 2025: Music, Podcasts, and Controversy
    Dec 5 2025

    Welcome back to the Information Entropy Podcast and our yearly wrapped episode! This is one of our favourites where we are able to talk about the podcast’s stats this year as well as reveal our own awful (or great) music listening habits. We use this as a launchpad to talk about what music means to us, how we engage with it, and we also discuss some of the controversy around the current RAM production crises, spotify boycotting, and sensory overloading. A massive thank you to everyone who tunes in! Music: HOME – AWAY
