Science Unscripted

Deutsche Welle

The science stories that will actually change your day — and maybe make you laugh. Science Unscripted is a podcast, radio show & YouTube channel driven by listeners. Who are we? (And where are we?) We're Gabe and Conor, two US science journalists based in the heart of Europe at Germany's international news broadcaster, DW. Since Germany borders nine countries (yes, nine!), we can get to new places quickly and connect you with science stories and researchers you won't hear about anywhere else.That means you'll get a glimpse of what life is actually like in Europe, from the perspective of people who actually live there.More importantly, we hope some of the things you hear on Science unscripted will actually make your day (or even life?) better somehow.That's the actual goal. That's what we're aiming for with Science Unscripted.
