It's an ingredient, like when I add a little cement to my gravel smoothie in the morning. MARC: So Concreature, are cement and concrete the same thing?ĬONCREATURE: Actually, they're different. And my question is, how are cement and concrete made? My question is, how does concrete get hardened? And my question is, how does concrete work?ĬAM: My name is and I'm from New Mexico. GRACE: My name is Grace from Port Washington, New York. MOLLY BLOOM: And come to think of it, a lot of our listener pals have sent in questions, too. Now, I have so many more questions about concrete. And I got grass stains all over my brand-new ripped jeans again! Ugh! They're trying to skate on grass, and it's going really badly. WOMAN: How is my child supposed to walk to school? MOLLY BLOOM: There aren't any big bridges, so nobody can cross wide rivers or bays! ![]() Look at the chaos of a concrete-less world. I've seen dimensions with zero concrete, and they are not fun. And boy, are you all lucky that you have this stuff here, too. ![]() MARC: And you're a visitor from a dimension that is all concrete?ĬONCREATURE: Pretty much. Well, to help us with today's episode, we're joined by- is it Mr. MOLLY BLOOM: Yeah, it's pretty amazing when you think about how they do use it for things like bridges, and tunnels, and sidewalks, and buildings, and all these- like, just a really huge diversity of things. MARC: It's just really, really, really strong. MOLLY BLOOM: That is way more than I can do. But I can go in the air, like, off a jump. MARC: Um, I'm not very good at tricks right now. If you could make anything out of concrete, what would it be? No matter where you go, concrete's the same- so sturdy, reliable. MOLLY BLOOM: Yeah, it's kind of like looking at the moon. MOLLY BLOOM: Concrete's the same wherever you go? MOLLY BLOOM: Would you say there's any difference in the concrete in New Zealand versus the concrete in the United States? Or is it the same? You are someone who lives in New Zealand, but you also spend time in the States, right? MOLLY BLOOM: I am so glad you could help me host the show today. I'm Molly Bloom, and my co-host today is Marc from Wellington, New Zealand. MOLLY BLOOM: You are listening to Brains On from APM Studios. OK, Concreature, how about you come to the studio and you can help with the show?ĬONCREATURE: Yay! I even brought my own microphone. That's starfish roller disco last night was much weirder. MOLLY BLOOM: Not even the weirdest thing this week, honestly. MARC: Well, it's not the weirdest thing to ever happen at Brains On headquarters. I heard you saying such nice things about concrete on my inter-dimensional podcast app, and thought I'd beam over to say, hi. MARC: From another dimension? A concrete dimension?ĬONCREATURE: Yup. Oh, yup, that's just a square of wet paper covered in concrete. I live in an alternate dimension where everything is concrete, including me. MOLLY BLOOM: It's a giant talking blob of concrete?ĬONCREATURE: I'm Concreature. MARC: What in the whole wide world of whacked-out weirdness is that? You two are making this concreature blush. And it's growing.ĬONCREATURE: Well, slap me flat and call me a sidewalk. MARC: If you look close, there are even little sparkly bits in there. MARC: This curb outside Brains On headquarters that is a perfect, calming shade of gray? MARC: I know, right? It's everywhere, but nobody ever talks about it. MOLLY BLOOM: I wonder if our listeners would love learning about concrete like we love learning about concrete. The sky's clear, the sun is shining, and the sidewalk is so flat and so gray. MOLLY BLOOM: Ah, what a perfect day to be outside, staring at concrete. MARC: You're listening to Brains On, where we're serious about being curious.ĬHARLIE: Brains On is supported in part by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
