Remembered from The Current
Join The Current in honoring the life, music, and legacy
of artists we lost in 2021. The hour-long musical tribute is a celebration of all sounds, from indie to influential, and the perfect way for music lovers to unite in paying homage to the artists who have shaped music history.
From musicians to producers to industry icons, the playlist will feature legends like Charlie Watts, Don Everly, Nanci Griffith, Bunny Wailer, Biz Markie, and many more. Host Jill Riley will highlight milestones in each artist's life and career, explore their lasting impact on the music world, and spin their most beloved songs.
12 noon
Unexplainable from Vox
In an hour-long special, Vox's Unexplainable will explore some of the most exciting unanswered questions in physics. All over the world, scientists are searching for dark matter: an invisible, untouchable substance that holds our universe together. But they haven't found it.
Are they chasing a ghost? We trace this quest for answers from the first hint of something strange in distant galaxies to the modern research cracking open the very foundations of physics.
