  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Food Friday 10/16/26: Candy, sweets, and other goodies with Bruce and Mark
Q: I've melted chocolate a lot for cooking, baking, whatever, and usually turns out okay, but every now and then it freezes.
The chocolate has seized, usually because moisture or steam got into it. Whisking in additional liquid such as cream may bring it back together, but adding fat alone will not.
Food Friday 10/16/26: Candy, sweets, and other goodies with Bruce and Mark
Q: My wife sometimes makes a toffee with a chocolate and almond topping. Sometimes, rather than being tender like a Heath bar, it's sticky. One time, it pulled one of my crowns off. How to guarantee the Heath bar effect?
Use a candy thermometer and cook the sugar to the appropriate temperature for the desired texture. Candy requires temperature measurements rather than visual cues, and a candy thermometer reaches higher temperatures than a meat thermometer.
Science Forum 10/15/26
Q: What happens to the chlorophyll when leaves change color in autumn?
The plant recycles parts of the chlorophyll molecule and stores them for making chlorophyll the following year. Red and yellow pigments are already present in the leaves, but become visible as green chlorophyll fades.
Science Forum 10/15/26
Q: Why is it important to find out about neutrinos?
Neutrinos can travel through space without being blocked by dust, so they may reveal distant cataclysmic events that ordinary light cannot show. Their ability to escape the sun quickly can also help researchers learn about its interior.
Pets and Vets 10/21/26
Q: My male cat, approximately 14 years old, has arthritis in his spine. Are there any supplements that I can give him to help him with his arthritis?
They describe a monthly injectable pain reliever for feline arthritis and acupuncture as options, noting that neither reverses arthritis and that acupuncture requires an ongoing time and cost commitment.
