The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Hosted by Ira Flatow, it is seriously the bomb diggity. I mean look at that guy. He is ready to talk about science and also maybe your mom's nice figure. The show covers lots of different subjects, but stays relatively relevant to current science news, which is really helpful.
Radio Lab is a really, really, seriously awesome radio show/podcast that I love more than most things in this world. Hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich. Just pick any show from their free podcast archive and I promise that you will not regret it.
Let's talk about other cool science programs that we can get into.
If you want to talk about lasers or atoms or also laser tweezers, that is also ok.
you know, calling Alan Shepard's flight "a glorified man-shot-out-of-a-cannon" seems a little too disrespectful
if not more than a little accurate. i remember one of the early astronauts saying "yeah, i'm sitting on top of a controlled explosion, but i want to steer."

Maybe I'm too sentimental. Frowny face at Pat Duggins there for a second though.

I dunno, I don't think that's disrepectful. If anything it's saying they had balls of steel to do this.

"Considering what your people did to my people during WWII I think a little kissing and breast fondling to be minor reparations, at best."
when people use the phrase "glorified [x]" it's usually in a disparaging manner
this is true. i'm not too fond of the implication either. tell a nurse sometime she's a glorified waitress. the negative connotation will become quickly apparent.
then again, if i'm the rocket jockey, they can talk aaaaall day. i'm the one going into spaaaaaaace while they do their little program.
Although it was before my time, I will concede Mr. Wizard's World, because it is maybe the most popular kids science show ever. But I refuse to believe Bill Nye can be anything less than second place.

This is a science news program thread about cool science news programs that are neat.
I am also listening to Science Friday

I dunno, Beakman's World was good fun too. I'm kinda torn on this.

No one fucking knows, maybe we will never know. But we will catch atoms with them.
I never saw Beakman's world. But I know nothing can beat Bill Nye's theme song.
they're gonna talk about Carl Sagan next time
edit: oh wait no it's not. exoplanets yay!

Technation can be pretty good too.

1. Mr. Wizard's World
2. Look Around You
3. Bill Nye the Science Guy
4. Science Court
5. Beakman's World
this is the list you cannot argue with
