Shortwave thinks of science as an invisible force, showing up in your everyday life.
Powering the food you eat, the medicine you use, the tech in your pocket.
Science is approachable because it's already part of your life.
Come explore these connections on the Shortwave podcast from NPR.
This is Diana from Ithaca, New York.
We just got done trying 19 different mac and cheeses at the Mac and Cheese Bowl fundraiser just for our local Foodnet Meals on Wheels.
This podcast was recorded at 12.36 p.m. on Thursday, June 5th, 2025.
Things might have changed by the time you hear this,
but we certainly will have had our filling of mac and cheese for a while.
Enjoy the show!
Wow.
I mean, I got two kids.
I didn't know you could have 19 variations of mac and cheese.
I need a nap just hearing about eating that much mac and cheese.
I stopped my lunch to tape this pod, so that made me hungrier.
Triggering.
Hey there.
