Yes, we may be a little biased toward public radio. After all, our very own KUMR (soon to be KMST) public radio station hosts TechnoFiles, UMR's award-winning radio research program.

But we have other reasons too. For example, NPR recently sent a reporter to campus to cover Explosives Camp. The result: "At Camp, Teens Blow Stuff Up, As They're Told."

During his week at camp, Niels Zussblatt, a teen from St. Louis, helped blast a rock from deep in a mine, obliterated a watermelon, cut steel beams and set off a "wall of fire."

One of his favorites?

"Blowing up the chicken was good," he said. "It flew – forced bits of chicken guts to fly like 40 to 50 feet."

Where else (except for Visions, of course) would you get the scoop on chicken guts? Thanks NPR!
