Heisenberg's Hangover

The name alone should tell you this is not your typical dry science podcast. Heisenberg's Hangover is a weekly quantum computing news show hosted by Michael and his AI professor co-host Q, and the result is something that manages to be both educational and genuinely entertaining. The tagline promises "quantum knowledge, simple, entertaining, understandable, and sometimes with a slight headache," which is about as honest as podcast marketing gets. With 16 episodes and a consistent weekly release schedule, this is a newer entry in the quantum podcast space. The show covers developments from major players like IBM, Google, and IonQ, along with the physics concepts behind the headlines. Superposition, entanglement, quantum supremacy claims, and hardware milestones all get explained in plain language. The approach is deliberately accessible. Michael and Q break down complex topics without dumbing them down, which is harder to do than it sounds. The weekly format means the show stays current with a field that moves fast, and the episodes are structured around the most important developments from the previous week. For listeners who find most quantum computing content too academic or too corporate, Heisenberg's Hangover offers a third option. It takes the science seriously while acknowledging that learning about qubits should not feel like homework. Still early in its run, but the consistency and tone suggest this one has staying power.
