Science/academic radio channel ?

In summary, the speaker is looking for a radio channel focused on science, technology, and academia, but has had trouble finding one that isn't focused on sensational topics. They are open to specific show recommendations and wish for a 24/7 radio dedicated to these subjects. Some suggestions include Quirks and Quarks, Science Friday, The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe, Astronomy Cast, Science Weekly (The Guardian), Science Talk (Scientific American), and Nature Podcast.

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.
