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.

Each week on With Good Reason, our ever-curious host Sarah McConnell takes you along as she examines a wide range of topics with leading scholars.

You may discover the traditions of the samurai warrior, hear about the ways we pre-judge others based on their accents, or laugh at the surprising history of Hawaiian shirts.

With Good Reason is produced by the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities for the Virginia Higher Education Broadcasting Consortium and is broadcast on public radio stations in Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington DC.

We Do The Work believes American Workers are at the heart of our Economy and Culture and deserve dignity, respect, and a decent family wage.

WE DO THE WORK is dedicated to the well-being of all workers, union and non-union alike. The program believes that everyone who toils for wages or salaries, or who would if they could find a job, deserves to be treated fairly and have the opportunity to live in economic security. With the drastic increase in inequality over the last thirty years, fair treatment and economic security have become more mirage than reality to millions of workers.

In its interviews, reports and commentaries, WE DO THE WORK, explores why and how workers are under attack and suggests what we can do about it. Program topics range from free trade agreements to health care, from immigration to legislative deception. Though WE DO THE WORK originates in a rural Washington State community, its interests are often national and sometimes even global in scope.

In short, WE DO THE WORK provides listeners with the knowledge and tools they need to seek and achieve social and economic justice for all of us who do the nation s work.

Stick around, you'll get to where you need to be.

Even if you're not down, soon you're gonna be.

An all vinyl showcase of ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub and dancehall - and the stories behind the music.

There are many great records out there that no one knows about. There are even tracks by well-known bands that never receive airplay. Since the early 80's, I've done a program which puts emphasis on these less-well-known tracks. If I think a record has merit, I'll play it regardless of chart status (if any). I play familiar artists like Bob Dylan and Yo La Tengo as well as more obscure artists like Jah Pelikaho, Conveniens and Gone. Sometimes I'll include unreleased live material. Originating on Wednesdays on WHRW-FM Binghamton, my program now comes to you on WRFI! And if you should miss a show, please surf on over to Bartlemania.com for my latest podcasts and playlists.

Explorations is an hour-long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment. It originates on WBAI in New York.

Dr. Michio Kaku graduated from Harvard in 1968, summa cum laude (highest honors), and number one in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California in 1972, and in 1973 Dr. Kaku held a lectureship at Princeton University.

Today, Dr. Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).

During the last part of his life and work, Albert Einstein was on a quest to find the "theory of everything", an equation perhaps only an inch long that would unify all four fundamental forces of the universe. Dr. Michio Kaku has continued this quest, and is the co-founder of string field theory, a leading candidate in the search for a "theory of everything."

Dr. Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. His most popular and best selling books include Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century, which have been widely translated in different languages.

Layers of found sounds, spoken words and subtle remixes are there to mark the way points in each excursion. Your destination: an oasis of deep listening and discovery.

First Voices Radio (formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio) is the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S.. With more than 1 million online hits annually, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative media is deleterious to the whole of humanity. The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of Itazipco/Mnicoujou and Oglala. Tiokasin has been described as “a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.” One reviewer called him “a cultural resonator in the key of life.”
Politics for the Lakota is spiritual and is not separate from the rest of life.

Tiokasin has had a long history in Indigenous rights activism and advocacy. He spoke, as a teenager, at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Ever since his UN work, he has been actively educating people who live on Turtle Island (North America) and overseas about the importance of living with each other and with Mother Earth.

1940s & 50s Rhythm & Blues
At the end of the Second World War, economics forced the big bands to trim their once great size and thus, the Jump Blues combo was born. Between 1946-1954, rhythm and blues laid the tracks for what was to become Rock n Roll. So how come, nearly 60 years later, this vibrant and influential music is still so unknown to so many?
Matt The Cat is going to change that with the radio program, Juke In The Back. These were the records that you couldn't hear on the jukebox in the front of the establishment. To hear all this great 1950s rhythm & blues, you had to go to Juke In The Back.

First Voices Radio (formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio) is the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S.. With more than 1 million online hits annually, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative media is deleterious to the whole of humanity. The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of Itazipco/Mnicoujou and Oglala. Tiokasin has been described as “a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.” One reviewer called him “a cultural resonator in the key of life.”
Politics for the Lakota is spiritual and is not separate from the rest of life.

Tiokasin has had a long history in Indigenous rights activism and advocacy. He spoke, as a teenager, at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Ever since his UN work, he has been actively educating people who live on Turtle Island (North America) and overseas about the importance of living with each other and with Mother Earth.

Latin Waves was born in 2005 when Sylvia Richardson?s passion for social change hit the radio air waves. The show was started as a resource to educate the public about the extraordinary changes and social movements that are happening in Latin America, there is a literal blackout in the Canadian main stream media around these historic changes.

Shortly after the show started Stuart Richardson joined as co-producer channeling his passion into journalism and research, with such an overwhelming amount of critical news not being covered properly in the main stream media Latin Waves decided to open its spectrum. Our original mandate to cover Latin America still stands but we have expanded our coverage into local/national and international issues making those critical political connections, we bring our listeners in-depth coverage of issues with a focus on the history of an issue and what that history means for us today and most importantly what we can do to move society forward in a healthy way.

In short our show is focused on building community across borders, positive social change has only come through communities of interest working together.

We Do The Work believes American Workers are at the heart of our Economy and Culture and deserve dignity, respect, and a decent family wage.

WE DO THE WORK is dedicated to the well-being of all workers, union and non-union alike. The program believes that everyone who toils for wages or salaries, or who would if they could find a job, deserves to be treated fairly and have the opportunity to live in economic security.

Though WE DO THE WORK originates in a rural Washington State community, its interests are often national and sometimes even global in scope.

It's an indie rock show, but not one that's real dedicated to the concept of 'rock', and gets kind of flexible about the 'indie'. A few of your old faves, some of the new stuff you've been meaning to check out, and some cross-pollination from other genres near and far.

Even if you're not down, soon you're gonna be.

An all vinyl showcase of ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub and dancehall - and the stories behind the music.

There are many great records out there that no one knows about. There are even tracks by well-known bands that never receive airplay. Since the early 80's, I've done a program which puts emphasis on these less-well-known tracks. If I think a record has merit, I'll play it regardless of chart status (if any). I play familiar artists like Bob Dylan and Yo La Tengo as well as more obscure artists like Jah Pelikaho, Conveniens and Gone. Sometimes I'll include unreleased live material. Originating on Wednesdays on WHRW-FM Binghamton, my program now comes to you on WRFI! And if you should miss a show, please surf on over to Bartlemania.com for my latest podcasts and playlists.

Dr. Michio Kaku graduated from Harvard in 1968, summa cum laude (highest honors), and number one in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California in 1972, and in 1973 Dr. Kaku held a lectureship at Princeton University.

During the last part of his life and work, Albert Einstein was on a quest to find the "theory of everything", an equation perhaps only an inch long that would unify all four fundamental forces of the universe. Dr. Michio Kaku has continued this quest, and is the co-founder of string field theory, a leading candidate in the search for a "theory of everything."

Dr. Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. His most popular and best selling books include Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century, which have been widely translated in different languages.

The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of Itazipco/Mnicoujou and Oglala. Tiokasin has been described as “a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.” One reviewer called him “a cultural resonator in the key of life.”

1940s & 50s Rhythm & Blues
At the end of the Second World War, economics forced the big bands to trim their once great size and thus, the Jump Blues combo was born. Between 1946-1954, rhythm and blues laid the tracks for what was to become Rock n Roll. So how come, nearly 60 years later, this vibrant and influential music is still so unknown to so many?
Matt The Cat is going to change that with the radio program, Juke In The Back. These were the records that you couldn't hear on the jukebox in the front of the establishment. To hear all this great 1950s rhythm & blues, you had to go to Juke In The Back.

Latin Waves was born in 2005 when Sylvia Richardson?s passion for social change hit the radio air waves. The show was started as a resource to educate the public about the extraordinary changes and social movements that are happening in Latin America, there is a literal blackout in the Canadian main stream media around these historic changes.

Shortly after the show started Stuart Richardson joined as co-producer channeling his passion into journalism and research, with such an overwhelming amount of critical news not being covered properly in the main stream media Latin Waves decided to open its spectrum. Our original mandate to cover Latin America still stands but we have expanded our coverage into local/national and international issues making those critical political connections, we bring our listeners in-depth coverage of issues with a focus on the history of an issue and what that history means for us today and most importantly what we can do to move society forward in a healthy way.

In short our show is focused on building community across borders, positive social change has only come through communities of interest working together.

We Do The Work believes American Workers are at the heart of our Economy and Culture and deserve dignity, respect, and a decent family wage.

WE DO THE WORK is dedicated to the well-being of all workers, union and non-union alike. The program believes that everyone who toils for wages or salaries, or who would if they could find a job, deserves to be treated fairly and have the opportunity to live in economic security. With the drastic increase in inequality over the last thirty years, fair treatment and economic security have become more mirage than reality to millions of workers.

In its interviews, reports and commentaries, WE DO THE WORK, explores why and how workers are under attack and suggests what we can do about it. Program topics range from free trade agreements to health care, from immigration to legislative deception. Though WE DO THE WORK originates in a rural Washington State community, its interests are often national and sometimes even global in scope.

In short, WE DO THE WORK provides listeners with the knowledge and tools they need to seek and achieve social and economic justice for all of us who do the nation s work.

Stick around, you'll get to where you need to be.

Even if you're not down, soon you're gonna be.

An all vinyl showcase of ska, rocksteady, roots reggae, dub and dancehall - and the stories behind the music.

There are many great records out there that no one knows about. There are even tracks by well-known bands that never receive airplay. Since the early 80's, I've done a program which puts emphasis on these less-well-known tracks. If I think a record has merit, I'll play it regardless of chart status (if any). I play familiar artists like Bob Dylan and Yo La Tengo as well as more obscure artists like Jah Pelikaho, Conveniens and Gone. Sometimes I'll include unreleased live material. Originating on Wednesdays on WHRW-FM Binghamton, my program now comes to you on WRFI! And if you should miss a show, please surf on over to Bartlemania.com for my latest podcasts and playlists.

Explorations is an hour-long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment. It originates on WBAI in New York.

Dr. Michio Kaku graduated from Harvard in 1968, summa cum laude (highest honors), and number one in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California in 1972, and in 1973 Dr. Kaku held a lectureship at Princeton University.

Today, Dr. Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).

During the last part of his life and work, Albert Einstein was on a quest to find the "theory of everything", an equation perhaps only an inch long that would unify all four fundamental forces of the universe. Dr. Michio Kaku has continued this quest, and is the co-founder of string field theory, a leading candidate in the search for a "theory of everything."

Dr. Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. His most popular and best selling books include Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century, which have been widely translated in different languages.

"We don't talk about Hip Hop, we create it." A weekly show featuring a mix of live performances, ciphers, street and in-studio interviews, parody raps, and some good ol' fashioned soap boxing. Hosted by DOUG (Earwolf, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown), Monte Carlos (Mongol Music), and Ginness The Menace.

There are many great records out there that no one knows about. There are even tracks by well-known bands that never receive airplay. Since the early 80's, I've done a program which puts emphasis on these less-well-known tracks. If I think a record has merit, I'll play it regardless of chart status (if any). I play familiar artists like Bob Dylan and Yo La Tengo as well as more obscure artists like Jah Pelikaho, Conveniens and Gone. Sometimes I'll include unreleased live material. Originating on Wednesdays on WHRW-FM Binghamton, my program now comes to you on WRFI! And if you should miss a show, please surf on over to Bartlemania.com for my latest podcasts and playlists.

First Voices Radio (formerly First Voices Indigenous Radio) is the first Indigenous radio program in the northeastern U.S.. With more than 1 million online hits annually, the program has become known for bringing to the airwaves the experiences, perspectives and struggles of Indigenous peoples worldwide whose exclusion from mainstream, progressive and alternative media is deleterious to the whole of humanity. The program’s Host, Executive Producer and Founder Tiokasin Ghosthorse is from the Cheyenne River Lakota Nation in South Dakota and the bands of Itazipco/Mnicoujou and Oglala. Tiokasin has been described as “a spiritual agitator, natural rights organizer, Indigenous thinking process educator and a community activator.” One reviewer called him “a cultural resonator in the key of life.”
Politics for the Lakota is spiritual and is not separate from the rest of life.

Tiokasin has had a long history in Indigenous rights activism and advocacy. He spoke, as a teenager, at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Ever since his UN work, he has been actively educating people who live on Turtle Island (North America) and overseas about the importance of living with each other and with Mother Earth.

FVR is syndicated on more than 70 community and public radio stations in 17 states in the U.S. and three Canadian provinces, including: British Columbia; California; Colorado; Connecticut; Idaho; Illinois; Iowa; Maine; Manitoba; Massachusetts; Minnesota; Montana; New Hampshire; New York; Northwest Territories; Oregon; Pennsylvania; Vermont; Tennessee; and Washington.

Explorations is an hour-long radio program on science, technology, politics, and the environment. It originates on WBAI in New York.

Dr. Michio Kaku graduated from Harvard in 1968, summa cum laude (highest honors), and number one in his physics class. He went on to the Berkeley Radiation Laboratory at the University of California in 1972, and in 1973 Dr. Kaku held a lectureship at Princeton University.

Today, Dr. Michio Kaku holds the Henry Semat Professorship in Theoretical Physics at the City University of New York (CUNY), where he has taught for over 25 years. He has also been a visiting professor at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, as well as New York University (NYU).

During the last part of his life and work, Albert Einstein was on a quest to find the "theory of everything", an equation perhaps only an inch long that would unify all four fundamental forces of the universe. Dr. Michio Kaku has continued this quest, and is the co-founder of string field theory, a leading candidate in the search for a "theory of everything."

Dr. Kaku is an internationally recognized authority in theoretical physics and the environment. His most popular and best selling books include Hyperspace: A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps and the Tenth Dimension and Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century, which have been widely translated in different languages.
