The Science Snippet of the programme last Thursday night (Sep 10) was about coyotes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote). Coyotes have the scientific name Canis latrans, which translates as 'barking dog', and they are a species of canine native to North America. They are closely related to wolves, especially grey, eastern, and red wolves.

The radio station that 'Still Hip & Relevant' broadcasts on has rebranded to 'Nest Radio', so this page's name has changed. The station website has also changed: the homepage is nest.radio , and there are lots of other changes. I think the best change is the availability of the 'Listen again' feature, where you can listen to an archive of up to 4 weeks of previous broadcasts! Hooray!
