    Channel Radio
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the search for a dedicated radio channel focused on serious science, technology, and academia. The original poster expresses frustration with the prevalence of sensationalist shows covering topics like UFOs and time travel, seeking recommendations for more credible content. Several specific programs are suggested, including "Quirks and Quarks," "Science Friday," "The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe," "Astronomy Cast," "Science Weekly," "Science Talk," and the "Nature Podcast." However, the original poster remains interested in finding a 24/7 radio station dedicated to these subjects, indicating a desire for continuous, reliable science-focused programming.

Hello,

I was wondering if there exists a decent radio channel which main focus would be science/technology and academia ? I'm listening radio pretty much all the time while working, all I could find were "sensational" tech talk show about UFOs, zombies and time travel, nothing serious.

The best would be a radio dedicated to those subjects which I could listen all the time, but I doubt a good one exists. If you have specific shows to advise (I can still make a playlist) I'm also up for it!

Thank you and have a good day.

You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
