And that’s pretty much all from the Science Show on Cambridge 105 as the show takes a long break.  For news of that follow us on twitter@105science. You can still pick up all 60 of our podcasts at http://cambridge105.co.uk/podcasts/science-show/ or go to the iTunes Store and search for 105 science or Cambridge 105. Finally, many thanks to astronomer Paul Fellows and the dozens of guests who informed us how science takes shape in Cambridge today. So there’s a big bye from me, Roger Frost while still interested to hear from those interested to take the show further.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge Radio is the Community broadcaster for Cambridge and South Cambs.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
