Science Friday day-after-Thanksgiving Ig Nobel Prize highlights broadcast

Please join us on Friday, November 28, 2025, for this year’s Science Friday day-after-Thanksgiving Ig Nobel Prize highlights broadcast.

To many radio listeners, the Ig Nobel Prize ceremony — each year honoring ten things that make people LAUGH then THINK — is an annual radio event, a stream of  surprising stuff and people that pours out of the radio on the day after Thanksgiving.

The ceremony itself actually happened a little earlier in the year, at Boston University.

This will be the 34rd SciFri Ig Nobel Prize broadcast, composed of highlights from the 35th First Annual Ig Nobel Prize ceremony.

WHEN: Friday, November 28, 2025. This will be hour 1 of the week’s two-hour Scifri broadcast — in most cities that will be at 2 pm. [But check the time on your local public radio station schedule.] You can also listen to it on the internet, via the SciFri web site.
