Big Picture Science

The world has changed since enterprising
hominids chipped stones to use as tools. Today’s scientific and technological
development moves faster than a speeding maglev train. 



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. 



But wait! There’s more!



Are you a doubting Thomas? Good. Join us as we separate science from
pseudoscience – and facts from the phony – in Skeptic
Check, our monthly episode devoted to critical thinking. 



Whether it’s astrology, Bigfoot, or the incessant onslaught of dubious medical
claims, we tackle it all, wielding the skeptical tools of solid science.



It’s Skeptic Check… but
don’t take our word for it!
