National Public Radio science correspondent and award-winning TV journalist Ira Flatow will broadcast his popular weekly radio program “Talk of the Nation: Science Friday” live from the Boise State University campus on Sept. 28. Tickets to watch the live taping are sold out, but you can still catch the broadcast throughout the valley from noon to 2 p.m. on 91.5 FM.

The broadcast also will be available online at http://kbsx915.com/npr-kbsx915-news/. Tickets to see the show live are sold out.

Flatow’s interest in things scientific began in boyhood when he almost burned down his mother’s bathroom trying to recreate a biology class experiment.

“I was the proverbial kid who spent hours in the basement experimenting with electronic gizmos, and then entering them in high school science fairs,” Flatow said. Mixing his passion for science with a tendency toward being “a bit of a ham,” Flatow describes his work as the challenge “to make science and technology a topic for discussion around the dinner table.”

Boise State Public Radio reaches a weekly audience of more than 100,000 listeners in southwest Idaho, eastern Oregon and northern Nevada. “Science Friday” in Boise is sponsored by the Micron Foundation and Idaho National Laboratory and presented by Boise State Public Radio and the STEM Station at Boise State.
