StarTalk Radio Show

这项提案是一项探索性研究（SGER）的小额赠款，用于资助一个专门针对商业谈话电台的新的科学广播节目。拟议中的10个一小时节目将由尼尔·德·格拉斯·泰森共同主持，他是天体物理学家、畅销书作家、作家、PBS科学频道主持人，也是包括《每日秀》在内的有线电视网络的常客。这些节目将在哥伦比亚广播公司谈话广播电台KLSX播出。该节目将邀请各种名人嘉宾以及对太空和科学感兴趣的科学家。听众将被鼓励与来访的嘉宾进行互动，提出问题并发表意见。节目将以幽默的形式呈现传统的枯燥或技术话题。KLSX最近的试点节目在该电台的周末脱口秀节目中吸引了最多的电话。目标是接触到目前公共广播电台节目无法提供服务的听众，并最终实现商业广播电台的自给自足。

This Proposal is a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) to fund a new science radio show targeted specifically for commercial talk radio. The proposed 10 one hour programs will be co-hosted by Neil de Grasse Tyson, astrophysicist, popular best selling book aurthor, writer, host of PBS scienceNow, and the frequent contributor on cable television networks including The Daily Show. The programs would be broadcast on CBS Talk Radio Statiion, KLSX. The program will feature a variety of celebrity guests as well as scientists who share an interest in space and science. Listeners will be encouraged to interact with the guests calling in to pose questions and voice opinions. The programs will present traditionally dry or technical topics in a humorous format. The recent pilot program on KLSX generated the most call-ins ever during a weekend talk show on that station. The goal is to reach an audience that is not otherwise served by current programming on public radio and to eventually become self-supporting on commercial radio.
