This week on Food Friday we talk about a few cuts of steak that you might not be as familiar with preparing and grilling, and we learn about some great things to whip together to accompany your meal. We also talk to an astronomer about the significance of the first-ever image of a black hole, and we get the latest on testing deer for chronic wasting disease.

  • Everything You Want To Know About Cooking Steaks

    With grilling season (supposedly) right around the corner, we’re talking about how to buy, prep, cook, and pair the best steaks. Co-author of the cookbook “Franklin Steak” joins us.

  • As DNR Increases Sample Size More Deer Test Positive For CWD

    In 2018, more than 1,000 deer tested positive for the fatal neurological condition called chronic wasting disease–or, CWD. The 2018 test was the largest sampling of cervids since the state started monitoring for the disease in 2002. We talk to a reporter about the work the state is doing to combat the disease.

  • First Photo Of Black Hole Revealed This Week

    The first visual evidence of a black hole was released to the public this week. The picture released–which shows a glowing ring of gas surrounding a dark spot–is direct evidence of black holes and helps prove Einstein’s general theory of relativity. We talk to an astronomer about the significance of the discovery and what it might mean for physics moving forward.
