The Engines of Our Ingenuity is a daily radio series produced jointly by KUHF-FM, Houston, Texas, and the University of Houston. [1][2][3][4]The series tells the story of human invention and creativity in 3-1/2 minute essays. The stories center on engineering/technology, but they venture freely into mathematics, science, literature, medicine, music, art and other areas. The program thus reveals much of the cultural history that is formed by technology and other creative enterprises, and it reveals how culture in turn shapes technology and science. The program airs nationally on many public radio stations, and on other outlets. HistoryThe Engines of Our Ingenuity was first aired on January 4, 1988. It reached 3000 finished episodes in March, 2015. The series was founded by John H. Lienhard IV, retired Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Houston, and member of the National Academy of Engineering. The program is now done by a group of experts in several fields, including Lienhard.[5]ReachThe program airs nationally on many public radio stations, and on other outlets. At any one time, the program is likely to be airing on 40 or so stations in the United States, and on such specialized outlets as Armed Forces Radio and the International Space Station, and occasional overseas radio. The program is made available free of charge and reporting of its use{{clarify|Private use or re-broadcast?|date=September 2018}} is not enforceable. [6]InfluencePart of the growing influence of the series has been an initiative to create a Spanish-language version of the program, Invenciones de la Inventiva. These are episodes that have been translated into Spanish and are airing on station KNTU. [7][8]WebsiteThe Engines of Our Ingenuity website features complete audio for all the episodes of the program, as well as complete illustrated transcripts.
