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.
