Ig Nobel broadcast Friday

The annual special Ig Nobel broadcast happens this Friday, November 24 — the day after (American) Thanksgiving — on National Public Radio’s Science Friday program. Continuing a 13 or 14 year-old tradition, the SciFri producers have boiled down a recording of the entire Ig Nobel ceremony, yielding up an hour-long highlights show, introduced by Ira Flatow.

The Science Friday program is two hours long. HOUR TWO will be the Ig Nobel broadcast. Listen on your local NPR station (if you have one, and if it carries both hours of the program), or listen on the web.

(NOTE to Boston/Cambridge radio listeners: Alas, you will NOT be able to hear it on station WBUR, because WBUR no longer broadcasts both hours of the Science Friday program. Who knows why.)
