Radio Physics
Tune into Radio Physics at 4:30pm on the third Wednesday of each month.

Radio Physics is for everyone! You don't have to be a scientist or even an aficionado to be fascinated by the questions and answers that you'll hear on KDNK. Radio Physics is a collaboration with top high school physics students from Aspen to Rifle, the Aspen Center for Physics, and KDNK Community Radio in Carbondale. Students interview one of the more than 1,000 physicists who visit the Aspen Center for Physics every year.

Latest Episodes
  • On this episode of Radio Physics, astrophysicist Cole Miller, joined by intern Sasha Fielder, discuss black holes—from the formation of early, very massive black holes to black holes orbiting black holes and the gravitational waves they produce, as well as multi-messenger astronomy, neutron stars, tidal forces, and discoveries from LIGO and VIRGO, along with insights gained from working with NASA’s NICER mission. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
  • On this episode of Radio Physics, summer intern Alice Lebedev-Migdal interviews physicist Ned Wingreen. Ned's current research focuses on modeling of bacteria, bacterial communities, phages, and other microorganisms, as well as studies of intracellular phase separation, and topics in immunology. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
  • On this episode of Radio Physics, physicist Flip Tanedo is interviewed by interns Shen Harman & Alice Lebedev-Migdal. Flip Tanedo builds models of dark matter. He is spending his time at Aspen Center for Physics thinking about ways in which dark matter can explain the mysteriously gigantic black holes that have been puzzling astronomers for the past 10 years and is also writing a textbook on linear algebra for physicists. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
  • On this episode of Radio Physics, intern Shen Harman interviews physicist Gordon Baym. Listen to Radio Physics on KDNK.org every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
  • On this month's Radio Physics, summer intern Shen Harman interviews Physicist Clifford Johnson. Tune into Radio Physics at KDNK.org, every third Wednesday at 4:30pm.
  • On this month's Radio Physics show, summer intern Josie Jacobs speaks with physicist Monica Jinwoo Kang.
  • On this month's Radio Physics show, summer intern Colby Vanderaa speaks with physicist Gil Refael.
  • Natalia Perkins is a Professor at the School of Physics and Astronomy of the University of Minnesota.
  • Tracy Slatyer is a professor of particle physics with a concentration in theoretical astrophysics with tenure at MIT.Her research is motivated by questions of fundamental particle physics — in particular, the nature and interactionsof dark matter — and she seeks answers to these questions by studying possible signatures of new physics inastrophysical and cosmological data. She was a co-discoverer of the giant gamma-ray structures known as the“Fermi Bubbles” erupting from the center of the Milky Way.
