Did you know that every Tuesday, KNCT-FM airs brand new episodes of two nationally recognized science programs—EarthDate and Science and the Sea? These short-form segments offer fascinating insights into the natural world, and today’s premieres are no exception.
🔋 EarthDate: “Energy Born of Earth”
Today’s featured episode explores a question we rarely ask: Where does our energy truly come from? Whether it’s electricity powering our homes or the charge in our phones, nearly every form of energy we use originates from the Earth itself. From deep underground to the skies above, this episode reveals how our planet fuels the systems we rely on daily. Listeners can explore more at EarthDate.org, where each episode is accompanied by graphics, photos, and extended content.
🌪️ Science and the Sea: “Medicanes”
The title might sound playful—like a mix between medicine and candy canes—but “medicanes” are serious weather phenomena. Short for “Mediterranean hurricanes,” these compact storms swirl across the Mediterranean Sea and share many characteristics with tropical cyclones. Today’s episode breaks down how they form and why they matter.
