Summary
On Inquiry, we'll bring you thought-provoking, informative, and often wild discussions with some of the most interesting people in art, history, science, medicine, and more. You'll hear everything from Magellan to Mars landings, from Cole Porter to punk rock aerobics, from comics to the Venus de Milo - always expect something different on Inquiry.
Inquiry is hosted by Mark Lynch and is heard on WICN Public Radio, New England's Jazz & Folk Station. Heard throughout Central New England at 90.5 FM and worldwide at wicn.org, the show is broadcast on Sunday evenings at 9 pm.
