Radio/Podcast Production

Are We There Yet? 

As a radio production intern at Central Florida Public Media, I co-produced a weekly space exploration podcast covering everything from efforts to launch humans into deep space to the probes exploring our solar system.

Human Space Launches Bring Welcome Distraction To Otherwise Wild Year

This year, NASA launched six astronauts from the Kennedy Space Center, ending a nearly decade-long drought of human launches from U.S. soil. The launches from Florida’s space coast brought spectators from across the state, including hundreds of spectators gathered at Space View Park in Titusville to watch the Crew Dragon capsule launch from Kennedy Space Center.

Almost a decade after the Space Shuttle Program ended human space exploration from the U.S. is back and watching humans launch to spac

Inclusion And Diversity In Space Exploration

NASA and other space and science agencies are striving to diversify their workforces, but there’s still a long way to go. As the country grapples with racial inequality, so do these organizations. Are We There Yet’s Nelly Ontiveros speaks with NASA scientist Geronimo Villanueva during Hispanic Heritage month to talk about efforts to get a more diverse group of STEM students and professionals and what the future corps of deep space explorers might look like.

Then, when talking about future explo

How A Stinky Gas Is Helping Search For Life In The Universe

An unusual gas associated with life was found in the atmosphere of Venus, something that scientists thought impossible to exist on one of our closest planetary neighbors.

The discovery of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus caught scientists by surprise because their efforts were focused on finding the gas outside of our solar system.

“This phosphine was measured by a team using a telescope to actually calibrate a model they had [to] look for phosphine in the atmospheres of exoplanets, extras

Assembling NASA’s Deep Spacecraft & Heavy Metal Asteroids

NASA’s Orion spacecraft is the next deep-space vehicle designed to take humans to the moon. We’ll talk with NASA’s Amy Marasia about the process and what it will take to get humans back to the moon in the 2020s.

Then, scientists have their eyes set on a metallic asteroid called Psyche. NASA is moving forward with plans to send a probe to the intriguing asteroid. So what can we learn from a metal asteroid? We’ll ask our panel of expert physicists on this week’s I’d Like to Know segment.
