Here are some of the amazing special programs available today on both KNCT and our HD2 station, NestFM.

5:57 am and 4:57 pm

  • StarDate – Brightest Stars
  • The brightest star in the night sky scoots low across the south on winter nights. So do several past and future brightest stars. They’re all in Canis Major, the big dog.

6:30 am and 12:30 pm

8:30 am and 3:30 pm

  • EarthDate – Fossil Viruses
  • When scientists mapped the human genome, they found that just 2% of it controlled our own functioning. Fully 8% was the DNA of fossil viruses.

9:30 am and 2:30 pm

  • Science and the Sea – Headed South
  • If you’re lounging in the Florida Keys one day and you see an iceberg drifting by, you might think you’ve had one too many margaritas. But a recent study says giant icebergs did make it to the Keys thousands of years ago — the result of massive flooding thousands of miles away.

10:30 am and 1:30 pm

  • SoundBeat with Brett Barry – For the Cooks
  • Got 90 seconds? Then you’ve got time for a trip through the history of recorded sound! Sound Beat is a daily, 90-second show highlighting the holdings of the Belfer Audio Laboratory and Archive. Belfer is part of Syracuse University Libraries’ Special Collections Research Center and is one of the largest sound archives in the United States.
