StarTalk Radio Show

这项提议是探索性研究(SGER)的一小笔赠款，用于资助一个专门针对商业谈话电台的新科学广播节目。拟议中的10个一小时节目将由尼尔·德格拉斯·泰森联合主持，他是天体物理学家、畅销书作家、PBS Science NoW的主持人，也是包括每日秀在内的有线电视网的经常撰稿人。这些节目将在CBS Talk Radio Stationion，KLSX播出。该节目将以各种名人嘉宾以及对太空和科学感兴趣的科学家为特色。听众将被鼓励与来电的客人互动，提出问题和发表意见。这些节目将以幽默的形式呈现传统上枯燥的或技术性的主题。最近KLSX的试点节目在该电台的周末脱口秀节目中产生了有史以来最多的电话。其目标是接触到公共电台目前的节目所不能服务的受众，并最终在商业电台上实现自给自足。

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.
