This weekly podcast provides fresh insights into science topics of popular and scientific interest. It’s also a real treat to listen to! Ira Flatow is one of the best radio hosts I’ve heard.

Below I’ve included an extract from his bio. Listening to Science Friday you just know that he’s still that kid! I’ve picked up many ideas from this show which have ended up in my stories.


Science Friday: About Host Ira Flatow
Flatow’s interest in things scientific began in boyhood - he almost burned down his mother’s bathroom trying to recreate a biology class experiment. “I was the proverbial kid who spent hours in the basement experimenting with electronic gizmos, and then entering them in high school science fairs,� Flatow says.

Mixing his passion for science with a tendency toward being “a bit of a ham,� Flatow describes himself as “an educated layman with a tremendous desire to communicate his enthusiasm for science and discovery.�
