Summary

Interested in chemistry? Then you're in the right place. Substances Up Close is a chemistry podcast about the substances that shape civilization and everyday life, from iron and sulfuric acid to polyethylene and vitamin C. My name is Denis Koshevoi, a chemist and chemistry tutor, and I'll be your host.

The concept is simple: one episode, one substance. In each episode we’ll explore a substance: its properties, the history behind it, and how it’s used. You’ll also learn important chemical concepts and, from time to time, some practical tips that will help you stay informed and make your life a little easier.

No chemistry background? No problem. This podcast is for everyone. I’ve been tutoring chemistry for more than five years, so I know how to explain things in a clear, accessible, and interesting way.

Hope you enjoy it. Happy listening!
