Quick update! I’ll be on Science Friday today talking about how you can observe a meteor shower with just a radio. Plus, we’ll discuss how to build your own Itty Bitty Radio Telescope! I’m traveling over to a studio in St. Louis this afternoon to be on the second hour of the program, so you can see if your local NPR station carries that half or find the live streaming of Science Friday at their main website. I’ve also written a blog for them with even more instructions on how to build these homemade radio devices.
Update: The audio is posted! Thanks for all the lovely comments, and I’m happy to answer questions you have about building these happy little devices.
I enjoyed listening to the interview on Science Friday today! Will try to build the Radio Telescope and hope to catch some noise.
