'Ologies' is a popular science show hosted by writer and TV host Alie Ward.

Each episode takes a different ology, finds a passionate ologist who loves doing it, and then asks them loads of questions.

Alie's really enthusiastic, it's accessible, irreverent, and some of the guests are terrific; 'Ologies' is definitely a science show with a good sense of humour! 

I've enjoyed recent episodes on 'Areology' (the study of the planet Mars) and 'Dendrology' (the study of trees). The featured episode is all about moths and butterflies or lepidopterology and features Phil Torres, who's a well-travelled TV host and lepidopterologist.
