Big Picture Science is a weekly show, but the wonderful people at the SETI Institute gave us permission to air the individual segments.

A scientific research organization whose mission is to “explore, understand and explain the origin, nature and prevalence of life in the universe.” The Big Picture Science radio show takes it even further.

Each Redshift Report from the Ontario Science Centre examines one of Life’s basic questions, like, “Is an electric car really a green machine?” “What is the most dangerous part of space travel?” And, “What causes jet lag?” These questions are posed to researchers at OSC who…do research and bring the answers in a lively dialog with host Ken Huxley. The Ontario Science Centre has given us access to more than 120 Redshift Report segments. Yay!

scientists & inventors
Steven Cherry, host of about 90 IEEE Techwise Conversations — unlike most interviewers and hosts — prepares very well for each segment, reading books, attending webinars, participating in online discussions in order to make the most of his time with each guest. And the guests are fascinating people. The former head of R & D for General Motors, the inventor of the Universal Serial Bus (USB), the guy who designed the ChemCam on the Mars Curiosity rover. This is a GREAT segment. Thank you Steven Cherry and IEEE.

Each podcast is three to seven minutes in length and covers a popular science topic of interest. There have been numerous contributors to the podcast, but it is produced, directed and hosted by Scott Unger.
