Our Conversation with Bill Nye, the D.C. Guy
Legendary science broadcaster Bill Nye has recently moved back home to D.C, where he was born and raised. Here’s here to tell us about growing up in D.C., his favorite spots, and how it helped make him into the Science Guy we all know and love.
Also, next week, we’re coming at you with a D.C. Love Kit — five episodes and five Hey DC newsletters that are all about love. Yes, we’re going to help you plan out your Valentine’s date or trip, but we’re also talking friendship, dating fails, and embracing your alone time. Subscribe now so you don’t miss a day, and get your friends to as well.
And we’d love to feature you on the show! Share your D.C. love story with us (Met your soulmate? Went on a hilariously tragic date? Really connected with the city one day? Made a friend in an unexpected way? We want to hear it all) in a voicemail by calling 202-642-2654. You can also email it to us.
