Back to school never sounded so good.
All good things come to an end and I Am A Scientist! will be following suit Sunday, August 26th. Thanks to everyone in Winnipeg who tuned in to hear the show on CKUW 95.9 FM at noon or caught a show or two on iamascientist.net. It was a lot of fun (and work) to produce and I hope you all had just as much fun listening.
The final show of I Am A Scientist! highlights the research Dr. Caroline Forbes, a geologist who now hails from the University of Adelaide in Australia.
The National Campus/Community Radio Association hosts a yearly conference, and this year three delegates from CKUW trekked to Vancouver to attend. For the second year in a row, CKUW came home from the conference with a trophy for programming excellence.
This year’s award goes to Daniel Brandt, co-host of Roots & beRRies Tuesdays from noon-1pm, for Best Focus Programming. The winning program highlighted the annual Dine & Dash fundraising event that L.I.T.E. holds every October.
Congratulations, Daniel.
I enjoy listening to artists that I’ve never heard before.
