Knowledge in a Nutshell hosted by Sheri Quinn was the first community science radio show in Utah. It launched in 1999. 

 

Quinn edited the first show on big tape reels inside a rickety makeshift studio the size of phone booths (when they still existed) at KRCL. It was a U of U talk by anthropologist Sarah Hrdy, about her book Mother Nature, recorded on cassette tape. Luckily, digital editing arrived just in time for the rest of the shows. 

​

Rocket science, genetics, evolutionary biology, famous physicists at parties, monk life in the Utah mountains, were popular topics.
