WRFI Community Radio

A different kind of science radio show

Big Picture Science does more than interview top scientists and technology innovators. Our themed episodes connect those latest research ideas to identify emerging trends - and why they matter.

Seth Shostak (the scientist) and Molly Bentley (the science journalist) use smart and humorous storytelling.

The Big Picture Science radio show and podcast engages the public with modern science research through lively and intelligent storytelling. Science radio doesn’t have to be dull. The only dry thing about our program is the humor. Big Picture Science takes on big questions by interviewing leading researchers and weaving together their stories of discovery in a clever and off-kilter narrative style. What came before the Big Bang? How does memory work? Will our descendants be human or machine? What’s the origin of humor? We ponder these questions daily … and expound on them weekly. Our one-hour radio magazine reveals science as an adventure.

So think bigger. Big Picture Science. A one-hour weekly radio show and podcast.
