83. Running on EmptyMon, 11/06/2023 - 5:22pm | RohanSoccer demands a lot from your body. Hear about soccer pre-game routines such as the FIFA 11+ Dynamic Warmup which is easy to learn, takes only 20 minutes, and increases motor control and strength. Drs. Tammy Ng and Jake Petersen share ways to eat and hydrate for peak game day performance, how to handle eating for early morning practices when your stomach is still trying to wake up, and why athletes shouldn't wait until they are thirsty to drink water. Then visit Zurich, the Swiss city that is home to the FIFA Museum, Albert Einstein's alma mater, 1200 public drinking fountains, and the largest techno street party in Europe. |
82. Zombie ApocalypseMon, 10/23/2023 - 6:41pm | RohanZombies have been quite the phenomenon for decades.

81. Why Pickleball is a Smash HitMon, 10/09/2023 - 5:01pm | RohanPickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the United States. It does not involve any actual pickles and the goal is to hit a lightweight perforated ball back and forth with paddles over a low net, avoid "the kitchen", hit a "flapjack" when needed, and not get "pickled". Hear how pickleball got its start during a lazy summer 60 years ago, how it got its quirky name, and what led to its rapid spread over the last few years. Then visit the state of Washington, the birthplace of pickleball — and home to geoduck (which is not a duck), Hoopfest, gourmet coffee, volcanic peaks and glaciers, whales, and a legendary music scene. |
80. Big Red BusMon, 09/25/2023 - 8:32pm | RohanThe Unitrans vintage red London double decker bus is a familiar sight in the city of Davis. It was a big thrill riding on the top deck of that bus as a little kid! Learn about how public transit started in 1826 as an Omnibus that shuttled people to a public bath. Jeff Flynn, general manager of Unitrans, shares how this student-operated bus service logs over 1 million miles a year and carries over 22,000 passengers each day. Then travel to India — home to 92,000 animal species, the wettest inhabited place on earth, a Guinness world record holding bus fleet, a 42,000-mile rail network, and cricket matches that draw 100 million viewers each. |
79. Zero Waste Game DayMon, 09/04/2023 - 3:17pm | RohanAthletic events across the United States generate more than 40 million pounds of trash each year. Hear about my internship last season with FC Davis where I worked on ways to get the football club to Zero Waste home games. Jennifer Gilbert, Conservation Coordinator for the City of Davis, tells us about how event planners and each of us can do a better job at reducing what goes into the landfill at events. Then visit Germany which has one of the highest recycling rates in the world, highways with no speed limit, and the highest fan attendance in the world at its professional league soccer games. |

76. Inside the 49ers with Cam InmanMon, 07/24/2023 - 12:00pm | RohanI just returned from the 72nd annual California Scholastic Press Association workshop. This is a 2-week hands-on summer program for high school journalists taught by media professionals. We completed dozens of assignments that ranged from sports writing to a simulation of breaking news where we sprinted across campus close to midnight to interview sources! I learned from professional journalists who work in print, digital, TV, and audio media. One of the journalists I met there was Cam Inman who tells us about his journey to covering the San Francisco 49ers for the San Jose Mercury News, his advice to aspiring sports broadcasters, and what 49ers fans can expect this upcoming season.

There are over 10 million electric cars around the world and their numbers are increasing each year.
