though the perception is that they aren’t the best communicators, Boyd disagrees. “Scientists are so excited about what they do,” she says. “It’s infectious over time.”

Many of Boyd’s interview subjects write books. She reads five to eight books a week in preparation - more than 200 a year, for the record. Often, she finds that her guests and their work impact the way she lives. When she hosts a guest who has written a book about family life, she says, her children can tell by the different strategies she employs at home. “Oh, Mom has read another parenting book again,” they’ll say.

Boyd’s show also takes callers, which can be treacherous territory. Though her producers screen the calls, the questioners are not always as succinct, eloquent or on topic as they need to be. “Thank God for the mute button,” says Boyd, who had not taken live calls before “Think.” “I have to make a good show for the audience, not for the caller.”

In 2016, “Think” went from being broadcast only in North Texas to reaching 19 different frequencies across the state, including Houston, Austin and San Antonio. “Think” won the Public Radio News Directors Inc. award for best call-in program in 2012. Her audience is growing, but Boyd still focuses on what makes her program so powerful.

“We talk to all kinds of people on all kinds of subjects,” she says. “Think is about why.”

Listen to “Think” Monday-Thursday noon-2 p.m. and Friday 1-2 p.m. on KERA, 90.1 FM.
