The Multiverse Employee Handbook
The Multiverse Employee Handbook is a science comedy podcast that blends workplace humor with cosmic exploration. Each episode decodes scientific mysteries through corporate metaphors, from quantum mechanics explained via staff meetings to space history through annual reviews. The show combines rigorous science with absurdist office scenarios, exploring topics like black holes and expense reports. It offers genuine scientific knowledge wrapped in existential humor for curious minds. New episodes arrive every Tuesday.

Wish You Were Here
The Multiverse Employee Handbook is taking a brief holiday. Our narrator is currently horizontal in a field outside Innsbruck, the Alps are doing their thing, and Season Four is being assembled somewhere in the quantum foam of late summer.
We'll be back soon — with more actual science, delivered with the calm urgency of someone who has just realised the atoms in their deckchair were forged inside

Season 4 is Coming: The Universe Remains Uncooperative
The Multiverse Employee Handbook returns for a fourth season of science, satire, and the quiet suspicion that reality was written by a committee with no editorial oversight.
Season 4 dives deeper into the genuine absurdities of existence—the kind that come with equations, experimental evidence, and the occasional Nobel Prize. We'll be explorin

Why The Renewed Interest in Uranus?
