Big storms bring big rains at this time of year. It rains on the Sun, too, mainly during its own stormy season.
StarDate airs every weekday at 5:57 am, 4:57 pm, and on weekends at 8:20 am.
The Sound of Texas – Sam Sepulveda of Marathon
A visit to the French Company Grocer on the Sound of Texas.
The Sound of Texas airs every weekday at 6:30 am and 12:30 pm.
EarthDate – Tyrannosaur on Your Table
As we know, birds descended from dinosaurs. And with 18,000 species of bird now living, there may be more “dinosaur” species today than ever before. The birds that share the most DNA with their dinosaur ancestors are, surprisingly, the chicken and the turkey.
EarthDate airs every weekday at 9:30 am, 3:30 pm, and weekends at 10:30 am.
Science and the Sea – Seafood Scams
That grilled red snapper at your favorite seafood restaurant may be just what it’s supposed to be — a tasty fish caught in the Atlantic or Gulf waters of the United States. On the other hand, there’s a good chance it’s rockfish, tilapia, or cod. There’s also a good chance that anything labeled “grouper” is really imported catfish. And monkfish could be a potentially dangerous pufferfish.
Science and the Sea airs every weekday at 10:30 am, 2:30 pm, and weekends at 11:30 am.
SoundBeat – Let’s Call the Whole Thing Off
Tomato, to-mah-to, potato-po-tah-to…no matter how you say it, you’re on the Sound Beat.
SoundBeat airs every weekday at 11:30 am and 1:30pm.
Dan Hull joins us every Thursday at 6:15 pm for the i14 Sports Report. This show provides commentary & coverage of local high school sports up and down the i14 corridor in Central Texas.
