Talk:Daily Planet (TV series)

message: Is this realy the only show of this type in the world? I can think of several examples of shows that are fairly similar to it. Quirks and Quarks on CBC Radio One, for example, and 'The World's Technology Podcast' also follows a similar line.
:It's probably meant to say that it's the only TV program of it's type. Qutezuce 10:09, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this right? 

message: It has a normal and summer version, in which the summer version is mainly scientific current news and recaps from the normal seasons.
Currently it's got a "Science and the City", which is basically Alan Nursall teaching scientific concepts through demonstration, such as balance, buoyency, boiling temperature, etc... 
Also Shannon Bentley usually does at least one segment called Shannon's Gadgets on new gadgets per week, although recaps through summer usually rerun one of them every day. 
There's also a "Mindbender" (trivia) every week of the regular seasons in which they asks questions one week, and reveals the answers and winners in the next. I believe that's on the Wednesday of the show. Mindbender is not runned during summer seasons.
"Fact of the Matter" is a physics column that usually have real-life based demos - ie not much on theoretical physics.
"Jay's Journal" is Jay Ingram's column on certain factoids. I can't figure a coherent theme that persists. Usually this section is near the end of the episode.
"Behind the Scenes" is Natasha Stillwell's column that explains how things work. Previous sections include LED advertising panels, making of maple syrup, paper making, water purifying, etc...
Section names are based on http://www.exn.ca/dailyplanet/, and some examples are pulled from my memory
