    Astronaut Radio

    KUHF's Engines of Our Ingenuity broadcasts from space: Historic show from aboardDiscovery

    • Astronaut Michael Barratt of "Engines of Our Ingenuity"
    • Barratt did a radio show aboard space shuttle Discovery.

    Public radio enthusiasts are familiar with KUHF's 23-year-old celebrated program, The Engines of Our Ingenuity, which every day seeks to tell the story of how our culture is shaped by human creativity. Engines will reach new heights on Tuesday with the broadcast of a special episode recorded in space.

    Entitled "To Our Ships," the episode explores man's inherent impulse to travel and the vessels used to discover our world and beyond. The audio essay was recorded by NASA astronaut Michael Barratt on Sunday evening while aboard the flight deck of the space shuttle Discovery.

    "This is history unfolding," John Lienhard, the program's host and writer, tells CultureMap. Now on its 39th and final voyage, Discovery will forever stay at a museum upon its return.

    Barratt contacted Lienhard last summer about doing an exclusive on-board episode of Engines, which has been preceded by seven instances of Barratt guest hosting in recent weeks. The pre-Discovery shows touched on topics of medicine and space (about which Barratt has published a book).

    "He's not speaking as a NASA publicist, but a technical expert who has good material," Lienhard says. "At this point, he's one of our most experienced contributors. He has a real talent for this — all of his programs have been extremely interesting based on a hell of a lot of serious expertise."

    The astronaut telephoned Lienhard on Sunday evening and reported, "The view is spectacular up here." Once Barratt returns, we can expect future guest host segments in which he describes the science behind spacewalking.

     "To Our Ships" broadcasts at 7:34 a.m. and 7 p.m. Tuesday. The segment is also available on the episode page of KUHF.

    Texas country star Pat Green to livestream flood fundraiser concert

    The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are partnering with Texas country music icon Pat Green for Pat Green & Friends: Texas Flood Relief Livestream, a special fundraising event taking place at Globe Life Field on Wednesday, July 16 at 6:30 pm.
     
    Green's family is among the thousands who suffered terrible losses; the July 4 flood of the Guadalupe River in Central Texas claimed the lives of Green’s younger brother John, John’s wife Julia, and their two young sons — four of the 129 people known to be lost so far.

    Green is hosting the fundraiser to channel his grief toward a positive end.

    No audience will be in attendance, but a wide array of artists will perform or appear at the show streamed for free on YouTube, including Miranda Lambert, Jon Pardi, Dierks Bentley, Corey Kent, Casey Donahew, Josh Abbott, Ryan Bingham, Eli Young Band, Joe Nichols, Kaitlin Butts, Ty Myers, Kevin Fowler, and Bob Schneider, with more artists being added by the hour.

    All proceeds from the concert and livestream will be distributed to Kerr County Relief, TEXSAR and the Do It For Durrett Foundation via The Pat Green Foundation, directly benefiting the families affected by this heart-wrenching disaster.

    Over 170 men, women and children remain missing – many of them campers like Green’s family, who set out for a holiday weekend getaway. The search will continue, but after spending his entire career bringing people together, Green knows the impact the community will have in helping the healing process begin.

    The Texas Rangers and REV Entertainment are proud to support Green in this critical mission. Green and the Texas Rangers have been closely tied for many years, with his iconic “I Like Texas” played after every Rangers home win for years.
