University of Idaho’s science and research podcast

“The Vandal Theory” podcast showcases the innovative and impactful work of University of Idaho researchers, offering an engaging look at how they approach the unknown and tackle real-world challenges. It’s a great way to discover the exciting research that has earned U of I the Carnegie ranking of R1, a designation for research excellence that only 4% of all U.S. higher education institutions attain — the only Idaho university to do so.

With hosts Leigh Cooper and Danae Lenz, this award-winning podcast highlights stories from a variety of disciplines and brings attention to the diverse research happening at U of I. Every spring and fall semester, “The Vandal Theory” drops an eight-episode season, with half-hour episodes being uploaded every Monday for eight weeks — and in 2025 check out our special summer shorts! You can also catch us on the Palouse if you tune in to radio channels KRFP 90.3 FM and KUOI 89.3 FM.
