  • Bad country music singer

    Local Country Music singer on nov 3rd was absolutely awful.

    Stick to your coverage of local news and politics which has made the show worthwhile.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Blue Watermelon Project started at this Scottsdale school that's now closing its doors
Q: What does it mean for missing and murdered Indigenous people cases when there is no medical examiner on Navajo Nation staff?
The absence of a dedicated medical examiner means cases are outsourced, training gaps exist, and there can be delays or inconsistencies in determining cause of death and documenting evidence, which hampers investigations.
This ASU professor plans to lead Phoenix into the quantum computing future
Q: What exactly is quantum computing?
Panchanathan explains that quantum computing uses a continuum of states beyond binary ones and zeros, enabling parallel computations and vastly faster problem-solving for certain types of tasks, especially as data sizes grow.
Arizonans with disabilities depend on at-home services. Medicaid cuts could erode the program
Q: Do you see your science communication as a form of art or public engagement?
Yes, science is a creative field and communicating it to the public is essential; making research accessible is part of the ongoing process of science, not a static checklist.
Arizonans with disabilities depend on at-home services. Medicaid cuts could erode the program
Q: What does being named a 2026 Guggenheim Fellow mean to you?
It is a huge honor and a sign that persistence and authentic, bold self-expression in proposals are valued; the fellowship supports interdisciplinary work and can fund ideas that push astronomy forward.
