Science Friday
Science Friday is a long-running NPR radio show and podcast that turns current research and big questions into accessible stories and interviews. Each episode features scientists, writers, and experts discussing topics from climate change to biotechnology to everyday curiosities, often with companion articles and activities on the website. Created to make cutting-edge science part of public conversation, it’s ideal for weekly family listening with teens or for parents building their own understanding. The show is free to stream, offering college-level content at no cost. Some segments are dense or assume background knowledge, so pausing to unpack ideas together gives the best educational payoff.
