  • Vox Pop, the best show on Radio!

    Love the host Ray Graff, the science forums with Ed, the Astronomy forum with Bob Berman and now Valerie, are both amazing programs, with usually a minimum of 2 experts who can answer almost any question posed by us listeners. Thank you for all that WAMC does!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Food Friday 9/11/26: Aneesa Waheed
Q: Well, tell me about, and you have talked to me about this, but for those who have not heard, the impetus, the goal of the home program in fighting xenophobia and things like that, through food and culture, real culture, and just saying, hey.
The home program started last year in response to kids hearing anti-immigrant sentiments; it uses food to teach diversity, leaves behind a world map, and aims to be integrated into schools year-round, culminating in an international food festival.
Astronomy with Valerie Rapson 9/10/26
Q: When you give an assignment or have a test, can you spot AI being used to get the answers?
She describes using strategies like asking students to draw a picture of what's happening before solving and assessing whether the solution matches the described steps, which helps reveal true understanding beyond copied results.
WAMC On the Road at "DeFazio's at 216" - 9/15/26

WAMC On the Road at "DeFazio's at 216" - 9/15/26

WAMC On the Road at "DeFazio's at 216" - 9/15/26
