Conversations to connect us — ‘�Ӱ�ԭ�� Voices’ on public radio

” is back on the radio across the state this summer. Airing on four public stations, the six-episode series highlights the climate adaptation lessons and experiences of �Ӱ�ԭ��ns and the human stories behind cutting edge climate science. 

�Ӱ�ԭ�� Voices is produced with support from the �Ӱ�ԭ�� Climate Adaptation Science Center at the University of �Ӱ�ԭ�� Fairbanks. Each radio episode features two or three participants discussing whatever is on their mind about life and science in �Ӱ�ԭ��. Adapted from the “�Ӱ�ԭ�� Voices” podcast, the radio series features new material alongside the podcast episodes. Experts — including an environmental health researcher, a renowned fire ecologist and others — host each episode.

In the first radio special, a scientist and his daughters recount over a decade of field measurements, “crashing and bashing” through the Chugach Mountains wilderness to capture the slow change to a beloved landscape. 

With recordings made eight years apart, listeners can hear a participant grow up, witnessing both the change to the forest and the impact of participating in science from a young age.

Listeners will also learn more about how dogs can keep polar bears and humans safe, how growing up in Utqiaġvik has informed new research and how a lifetime of forest science has left an impact on colleagues and friends. 

�Ӱ�ԭ�� Voices airs on (89.9 FM in Fairbanks) Tuesdays at 7 p.m., on (91.1 FM in Girdwood 91.9) Thursdays at 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. and is scheduled to air on (96.1 FM in Nome) Fridays at 1 p.m. starting July 17.
