New weekend programs heading to NHPR beginning July 5

Effective July 5, 2025, NHPR is refreshing our weekend lineup to bring you even more compelling storytelling, science, music, and pop culture. From local gardening tips to global conversations, there’s something new—and something familiar—waiting for you every weekend.

Don’t worry—longtime favorites like Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me!, This American Life, TED Radio Hour and Hidden Brain are still part of our weekend schedule. We’ve shifted their time slots slightly to make room for this new and expanded coverage of nature, science, music, and literature.

Saturdays

7:00 AM – Unexpected Elements (BBC) The news you know, the science you don’t. Unexpected Elements looks beyond everyday narratives to discover a goldmine of scientific stories and connections from around the globe. From Afronauts, to why we argue, to a deep dive on animal lifespans: see the world in a new way. Start your Saturday with surprising science stories and global curiosity in this lively program from the BBC.

Homegrown NH will air each week during Weekend Edition at 8:35 a.m.

This show is replacing TED Radio Hour, but fear not! You can still catch the TED Radio Hour Sundays at 3 p.m. NHPR is discontinuing Reveal.

8:35 AM – Homegrown NH (during Weekend Edition) Our new short-form segment features expert gardening tips and local inspiration from horticulturist Emma Erler and NHPR’s Jessica Hunt. Paired with BirdNotes for a double dose of nature.

11:00 AM – Outside/In (30 mins)
Back by popular demand, Outside/In returns to NHPR’s Saturday morning lineup. At Outside/In, we explore that idea with boundless curiosity. We report from disaster zones, pickleball courts, and dog sled kennels, and talk about policy, pop culture, science, and everything in between. From the backcountry to your backyard, we tell stories that expand the boundaries of environmental journalism.

Mass. man struck by car, seriously injured on I-93 in Londonderry, NH

A Massachusetts man was flown to the hospital after he was struck by a car when he stepped out of his vehicle in the breakdown lane of Interstate 93 in Londonderry, New Hampshire, on Saturday morning.

State police say 40-year-old Felix Matos Medina, of Lawrence, had stopped on the right side of I-93 south at Exit 5 just before 11 a.m. to investigate a possible mechanical issue. He was struck shortly after he stepped out of his vehicle by a Chevrolet Malibu and sustained serious injuries.

Medina was taken by medical helicopter to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., police said. There was no immediate update on his condition.

I-93 southbound was closed near Exit 5 for about 30 minutes to facilitate the medical helicopter’s landing. One lane remained closed for several hours to accommodate crash reconstruction and on-scene investigation.

The driver who struck Medina, identified as David Jodoin, stopped at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, according to police. No charges have been filed at this time, but all aspects of the crash remain under investigation at this time.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is asked to contact Trooper Evan Puopolo at 603-451-9784.

State police are also reminding all New Hampshire drivers that Sherrill’s Law requires motorists approaching a stopped vehicle displaying warning signals to slow down and give plenty of space. Drivers are also required to move out of partially or wholly blocked lanes when it’s safe to do so.
