Dinosaurs are the focus of the PBS Kids show “Dinosaur Train”. The host is Scott Sampson of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Known as “Dr. Scott” on the show, Scott Sampson is coming to East Lansing for a couple of public events during the MSU Science Festival.He tells Current State’s Scott Pohl that kids love dinosaurs because they're big, they’re bizarre, and they’re extinct...ancient monsters that are no longer going to crawl out from under their beds.

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
