From David Weinberg | Part of the Random Tape series | 01:54
I used my FM Transmitter to "tag" a Christian radio station with Classical Music.

On Saturday December 3rd, I powered up the 40-watt FM transmitter I built and “tagged” a Christian station (89.5 FM) with Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor K. 626: Sanctus. For a couple square miles at least, you can hear classical music on the radio again coming from high atop the chimney of a former convent.
This is a recording of the moment my signal went live.
All In Time
From Sarah Boothroyd | 25:01
Guided by science and science fiction, All In Time traverses the timeless mystery of time itself.

The Mikie Show #43, Sarah
From Michael Carroll | Part of the The Mikie Show series | 28:02
Hurrah, it’s another show about stuff I don’t know! Yes, this episode we speak with Sarah Mattson, planetary photographic cartographer, you know, I don’t really know what to call her, but she creates 3D terrain models of the surface of Mars. It’s scary realistic, because it is! These pictures are downloads from an orbiting camera like no other. Humans need to assemble them into beautiful 3D scenes from the planet’s surface. She also does the Moon. In fact that’s one of the camera’s pictures of the Martian surface right there on the left. We also want to thank Lujendra Ojha for popping up in our interview, he's the person who first witnessed the picture of the erosion patterns on Mars that were all the buzz a few months ago. And if you listen closely, you'll hear another member of this team, Christy Caudill, saying hi from behind her giant computer screens. Sadly, she has been surgically attached to her computer, but we brought her some snacks and stuff. I know there’s more… Oh, we have a quiz! We always have a quiz! And there’s news. We always have news! And another guest comes by, unexpectedly! We always have a g… okay you get the idea, it’s that familiar half-hour of top-notch entertainment right here on Earth!
