5:57 am and 4:57 pm

  • StarDate – Beta Cassiopeia
  • The Sun spins on its axis at a leisurely rate — it takes about four weeks to complete a single turn. Some other stars, though, are like electric blenders on high. They can make a full turn in days or even hours — even though they might be a lot bigger than the Sun.

6:30 am and 12:30 pm

8:30 am and 3:30 pm

In another EarthDate, we talked about kelp: 100-foot-tall seaweed that grows near shore.
Asian cultures have farmed kelp and other large seaweeds for centuries. If you’ve had Japanese food, you’ve probably eaten it sliced in seaweed salad, dried to flavor soup, or wrapped around sushi.

9:30 am and 2:30 pm

The largest creature ever to live on Earth wasn’t a mammoth, or even a dinosaur. It lives today, gliding through the depths of the oceans: the blue whale. It’s twice as long as a city bus and weighs as much as an airliner. And every day during peak feeding season, it can eat several tons of plankton – some of the smallest organisms on Earth.

10:30 am and 1:30 pm

  • SoundBeat with Brett Barry – Caldonia
  • 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. Each Sound Beat episode focuses on one particular recording from the Archive and provides a back story detailing its place in recording history.
