Dr. Alex Peroff and Dr. Neil Spinner host the electrochemistry podcast where we discuss all things electrochemistry. We discuss troubleshooting electrochemistry problems in a light hearted and fun way. We also have interviews with other electrochemists and play electrochemistry based games such as madlibs, 2 truths and a lie, and password (all electrochemistry themed).
