Stars are big — really big. The Sun, for example, is more than a hundred times the diameter of Earth. But a few stars leave the Sun in the dust. Antares, the bright orange heart of the scorpion, appears to be about 700 times bigger. If the Sun were the size of an NBA basketball, then Antares would be bigger than the entire arena.
StarDate airs every weekday at 5:57 am, 4:57 pm, and on weekends at 8:20 am.
Music and the Spoken Word with The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square
Music and the Spoken Word airs every Sunday morning at 9:20 am.
On the air for 93 years and over 4,800 weekly broadcasts, Music & the Spoken Word is the longest-running uninterrupted network broadcast in the world. Its audience continues to grow as more people tune to its half hour of uplifting music and inspiring prose.
“There are things that Music &the Spoken Word is, and there are things that it is not. For instance, it is not a worship service. The program has always been designed to be a non-denominational program, and to be enjoyed by people of many walks of faith. Also, it is not a concert. It is, in fact, as the title implies, a program of inspirational music and spoken word.” — Mack Wilberg, Choir Director —
Featuring modern and traditional arrangements of spiritual, patriotic, popular, classical and contemporary music coupled with timely, inspiring prose, Music & the Spoken Word becomes an uplifting, rejuvenating destination that listeners and viewers return to every week.
EarthDate – The Sum of All Humans
On November 1, across Latin America but especially in Mexico, the cemeteries come alive—with a celebration.
It’s Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead. Legend has it the gates of heaven open for a day to allow the souls of the dead to reunite with loved ones.
It’s considered disrespectful to mourn the dead, so families bring food and drink, clean and decorate gravestones, sing, and dance, fly brightly colored kites, and tell stories about and for the deceased.
EarthDate airs every weekday at 9:30 am, 3:30 pm, and weekends at 10:30 am.
Science and the Sea – Arctic Bloom
The underside of a polar ice cap doesn’t sound like a very inviting abode for life. But a recent study found massive amounts of microscopic life beneath the Arctic ice — as much as scientists have seen anywhere in the entire oceans.
Science and the Sea airs every weekday at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, and weekends at 11:30 am.
Then at noon, it’s time for Big Band Sunday, with six hours of music from and inspired by the Big Bands of the early to mid 20th Century.
And of course, you can’t have the big bands without some help from the USO. That is why Benjamin Griffin from the Fort Hood USO joins us every Sunday at 1:30 pm to update us on events and happenings at the Great Place. The USO Fort Hood was established in 2001 and was the first USO Center on a military installation. Their mission is to strengthen America’s Service members by keeping them connect to family, home and country.
Then our Roving Reporter Sonja Asendorf joins us at 2:30 pm for a heart-warming and informative story about what it was like to grow up in Texas in the 1940’s, from a personal perspective.
That is followed by Voices of Texas Veterans with Julia Conner at 3:30 pm, a public information radio program produced by the Texas Veterans Commission. In today’s episode we continue celebrating Women’s History Month with our Women Veterans Program and meet the program coordinators who connect women veterans with their benefits and each other.
David Miller finishes off an amazing and very busy Sunday with episode 2115 of Swingin’ Down the Lane at 6 pm. In tonight’s episode, listeners are asked to identify singers who were associated with big bands during the mid-20th century.
