| Friday, September 10, 7pm | American Radio Works:Testing Teachers. Kids need good teachers. It's something people know in their gut, but it's only recently that researchers have begun developing ways to measure the quality of teachers. What they're learning is shaking up schools and leading education reformers to call for radical changes in the way teachers are trained and evaluated—and the way they are hired and fired, too. | http://www.americanradioworks.org/ |
| Friday, September 17, 7pm | Antarctica:Life on the Ice. Reporter Glenn Zorpette paints a sharp and compelling portrait of a continent alive with intellectual ferment, with charismatic creatures of both avian and human varieties, and with poignant human interest. | http://spectrum.ieee.org/podcast/energy/environment/antarctica-life-on-the-ice |
| Friday, September 24, 7pm | Radio Lab:Oops. You come up with a great idea. You devise a plan. You control for every imaginable variable. And once everything is in place, the train hops your carefully laid tracks. In this hour of Radiolab, unintended consequences abound: from a psychologist whose zeal to safeguard national security may have created a terrorist...to a community whose efforts to protect an endangered bird had deadly consequences. | http://www.radiolab.org/ |
