Whether you're intrigued by black holes, fascinated by the possibility of life beyond Earth, confused as to why sociology is on a STEM podcast, or simply curious about the wonders of science, you'll find something to captivate your imagination here. 

Browse our archive, listen to your favorite episodes, and expand your knowledge of the cosmos with Curiosities of the Cosmos. 

Creating Curiosities of the Cosmos has been a dream come true, and allowed me to explore my ambition and passion for communicating science more fully. Expanding upon my previous experience in science communication, in collaboration with my campus radio station, WFNP 88.7 The Edge, I embarked on what has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I am grateful for all of the people who helped me learn the ropes, all of the guests who carve time out of their busy schedules to share their passion with anyone who will listen, and to each person who tunes into the episodes.

I hope to spread the joy science brings me to others through grounding conversations in truth and discovery across various disciplines because science belongs to everyone and science is for everyone.

On Air! (Behind the Scenes - Radio)

For each episode, I reach out to intended guests and, upon agreement, set out to make a general outline for the episode. These outlines are not strict and are only read for specific portions that must be read. For the radio, these portions are especially important!

The broadcast requires PSAs to be read out every hour as well as other required breaks to provide the radio station call. For this show, that airs at noon on Tuesdays, there is a break around the 20 minute mark and around the 50 minute mark for these to take place. That is why, if you tune in on any other platform, there's a nearly nonexistent break at those times where I announce the name of the station and provide space to cut away to PSAs.

Besides these requirements, there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at the station!

There are some strict rules that we must be abide by (but nothing I was intending to break anyways). This keeps the show and station family-friendly and accessible to all.

Additionally, a lot of the production happens real time! The studio only allows for one camera to feed into the software at a time. Therefore, I alternate and control the cameras as we film as well as monitor for microphone levels at the input and output.

And, of course, before the show ends, we turn it back over to the radio station playlist until the next show airs!
