The Conjectural
Series produced by Robert Frederick
The Conjectural is a science news show experiment. It's in celebration that we live without complete information -- our lives are conjectural.
The pieces in this series are re-produced-for-radio excerpts from a longer online show. They are written to be evergreen, but because science is always advancing, it's best to call them *fairly* evergreen.
The producer has over a decade of experience with credits from NPR's Morning Edition and All Things Considered. He has freelanced widely and served on staff at St. Louis Public Radio and Science magazine.
