Science Friday Podcast

about

Science Friday is a call-in talk show that is part of National Public Radio's Talk of the Nation radio program. SciFri is hosted by Ira Flatow (and substitute host Joe Palca) every Friday. The focus of each two-hour-long program is on science, computing and technology news and information. SciFri was created when the National Science Foundation agreed to fund a weekly science talk-show on NPR. After the Gulf War in 1991, NPR created a daily talk show called Talk of the Nation, and incorporated Science Friday into it. The subtitle of the program is "making science RadioActive" (a pun on radio and radioactive), and has been abbreviated to SciFri. In recent years, the program has annually broadcast excerpts from the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony. Science Friday is now also available in a podcast format, and welcomes bloggers to its web site.
