About the Show

Here and Now is a weekly one-hour talk show that airs from eleven to noon on Wednesday. The program focuses on public policy and politics in Arizona, but regularly examines legal, social, medical, economic and environmental issues. The goal is to provide in-depth information and analysis without all the rhetoric you’ll often find on talk radio. Listeners also play an important role by calling in or posting questions and comments online. Here and Now is hosted by Steve Goldstein, who grew up in the valley and hosts All Things Considered weekday afternoons. Steve has a keen interest in state history and public policy which is reflected in the depth of research he does for each show and the quality of questions he asks guests. Goldstein was named Best Radio Talk Show Host by Phoenix New Times Best of 2008. Here and Now is produced by Paul Atkinson, who has covered public policy and politics in Arizona for more than a decade. Paul seeks a wide range of topics that help listeners better understand what’s going on and why. When he books guests, he does so with the aim of finding informed, articulate people who’ll complement—rather than talk over—each other.

Upcoming Show

Here and Now: Spencer Wells and the Genographic Project

[Science and Technology]  [Arts]  [History] 

"Okay, open your mouth and say 'Ahhhhh!'" One swab of saliva at a time, Spencer Wells is collecting a DNA database to help trace human origins to the continent of Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

Wells is one of those whiz kids who graduated high school at the age of 16. He later obtained his PhD from Harvard and studied under Luca Cavalli-Sforza at Stanford's School of Medicine. Cavalli-Sforza is considered by many to be the "father of anthropological genetics."

Wells is studying genomic diversity in indigenous populations in the hope of unraveling age-old mysteries about early human migration.

Here's a link to the Genographic
Project.
