What do coffee, perfumes, medicines, and rocket fuel all have in common? Organic chemistry!
Adventures into Organic Chemistry takes you on a wild ride through the hidden world of molecules, breaking down the science of carbon—the element behind life, technology, and some of history’s biggest discoveries.
From ancient alchemists trying to turn lead into gold to the mind-blowing chemistry behind your morning cup of coffee, this show makes science fun, weird, and totally relatable. Why does one molecule smell like fruit while its twin is toxic? How can chemistry make or break medicine? What’s the real science behind fire, flavors, and pharmaceuticals?
Through fun explorations and unexpected twists, Adventures into Organic Chemistry turns complex chemistry into a mind-blowing adventure. Whether you love science or never thought you’d care, this show will change the way you see the world—because, like it or not, you are chemistry.

Before chemistry was science, it was alchemy. Ancient alchemists searched for the Philosopher’s Stone, trying to turn lead into gold. What they actually discovered was the foundation of modern chemistry. This episode uncovers how chemistry evolved from mystical potions to molecular precision.
We’ll meet the scientists who shattered myths—like Friedrich Wöhler, who accidentally proved that life’s molecules could be made in a lab, forever changing science. Why do carbon-based molecules rule the universe? What makes organic chemistry so special? And how did a single experiment rewrite the rules of science?
From medieval potions to modern medicine, this episode takes you through the fascinating, weird, and sometimes messy history of organic chemistry. Buckle up—because the story of carbon is also the story of life itself.
