The Official KLS Podcast

What is Khan-Cast?

The Khan-Cast is The official podcast of Khan Lab School. Created by Adam K. Shams and Matthias M. Fallon who Zavier Z. Mandhro would possibly describe as “Super geniuses of their age”. Motivated by their passion for film and community service, Khan-Cast exists as a platform for other KLS students where they can express their opinions or just have a good time.

Comments about Khan-Cast

“You have to have a very high IQ to understand Khan-Cast. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes, especially those regarding wet concrete, will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Matthias’s existentialist outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Negi Haruba literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Khan-Cast truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Adam’s existential catchphrase “Sometimes when I close my eyes I can’t see,” which itself is a cryptic reference to enlightened philosopher Jaden Smith’s Twitter profile. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Matthias & Adam’s genius wit unfolds itself on their laptop screens. What fools.. how I pity them.”

“Khan-Cast is a think-tank. A cornerstone of 21st century thought. These phrases come to mind when considering the greatest intellectual venture mankind has taken in the last 50 years (47.8921, to be precise): the Khan-cast. Topics are discussed with great brevity, eloquence, and remarkable veracity. The cognitive rigor provided by this chef-d’œuvre of entertainment through the audial medium is peerless. In fact, ‘peerless’ can be considered a crude minimization. A euphemism to circumvent the inherent problem of elucidating that which is indescribable: the extent with which this epitome of excellence bestrides its competition. Calling it a podcast is a travesty. It can be esteemed as nothing but sophistry – a perverse distortion of candor – to consider this the same variety of media as grotesque atrocities that debase the field at the present. This artful product is intended not for the common man, but he who is a touch above. He who possesses the ability to think both inside the box, outside the box, and as if there is no box – all at the same time.”
