Science & Technology

  • Big Picture Science

    Could there be life-forms on worlds far beyond the bounds of Earth? The search for life as we don’t know it begins with under­stand­ing life as we do. From amoe­bas to androids to anti­mat­ter, Are We Alone? weaves togeth­er humor and com­pelling inter­views into themed pro­grams about the biggest ideas in evo­lu­tion­ary biol­o­gy, genet­ics, pale­on­tol­ogy, tech­nol­o­gy, and physics – as well as cos­mol­o­gy and astron­o­my. Are you a doubt­ing Thomas? You’ll have plen­ty of com­pa­ny as we sep­a­rate sci­ence from pseu­do­science and the facts from the pho­ny in Skep­tic Check, our month­ly look at crit­i­cal think­ing. Are We Alone? is a one-hour pro­gram, pro­duced by the SETI Insti­tute and broad­cast­ed each and every week.

  • Doctor Renewable

    Doc­tor Renew­able is a radio show pro­mot­ing ener­gy lit­er­a­cy where we dis­cuss how to tran­si­tion the earth to renew­able ener­gy using main­ly recent sun­light. We nav­i­gate renew­able ener­gy and cli­mate change, while address­ing mis­con­cep­tions. Of impor­tance, we apply crit­i­cal think­ing so that peo­ple can make more informed deci­sions. For exam­ple, pro­mot­ing using more fos­sil fuels in the era of cli­mate change may not be what you sup­port and want for your chil­dren and grand­chil­dren. The show’s hosts use humor and rep­e­ti­tion to help retain the infor­ma­tion. The show is struc­tured around THE RED CUP, an ener­gy pol­i­cy that makes sense to enable the ener­gy tran­si­tion to sig­nif­i­cant­ly reduce the risk of nature impos­ing a feed­back loop that would affect bio­di­ver­si­ty across the globe. 

  • Exploration

    Dr. Michio Kaku is a the­o­ret­i­cal physi­cist, best-sell­ing author, and pop­u­lar­iz­er of sci­ence. He’s the co-founder of string field the­o­ry (a branch of string the­o­ry), and con­tin­ues Einstein’s search to unite the four fun­da­men­tal forces of nature into one uni­fied the­o­ry. Explo­rations in Sci­ence is an hour long radio pro­gram on sci­ence, tech­nol­o­gy, pol­i­tics, and the environment.

  • For The Wild

    For The Wild is an anthol­o­gy of the Anthro­pocene; focused on land based pro­tec­tion, co-lib­er­a­ton and inter­sec­tion­al sto­ry­telling root­ed in a par­a­digm shift from human suprema­cy towards deep ecology.

  • Freakonomics

    Freako­nom­ics Radio fer­rets out con­nec­tions between seem­ing­ly unre­lat­ed things. The pro­gram explores the rid­dles of every­day life and the weird wrin­kles of human nature — from cheat­ing and crime to par­ent­ing and sports — using the tools of eco­nom­ics to explore real-world behavior.

  • From The Vault

    From the Vault is the Paci­fi­ca Radio Archives’ week­ly pro­gram Remix­ing and Remem­ber­ing the past by explor­ing the vast­ness of sound with­in the vault of Amer­i­ca’s largest pub­lic radio archive.

    The host, Ter­ry MacLeod, is an inde­pen­dent Emmy-nom­i­nat­ed jour­nal­ist and recip­i­ent of The Queen’s Dia­mond Jubilee Medal. In his 33 years with CBC, he estab­lished him­self as a respect­ed, informed, inquis­i­tive, and com­pas­sion­ate pres­ence. He left CBC for new pur­suits on Dec 31, 2016. With CBC Win­nipeg, he was a host on ​“Infor­ma­tion Radio” and host/​producer of ​“The Week­end Morn­ing Show.” In 2005 with Ter­ry host­ing, Infor­ma­tion Radio was named ​“The Best Local CBC Radio Pro­gram in Canada.”

  • Radio Ecoshock

  • Radiolab
