I know I’m late to the game here, but on the off chance anyone else is too, I figured it can’t hurt to write a quick post on Radiolab. Radiolab is a radio show that brilliantly combines science, culture, and storytelling.
From the website:
Radiolab believes your ears are a portal to another world. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Big questions are investigated, tinkered with, and encouraged to grow. Bring your curiosity, and we’ll feed it with possibility.
It’s based out of WNYC and is broadcast on many NPR stations, but episodes are also free via podcast or web download. In two afternoons while on the road I learned about talking to machines, animal minds, the misconceptions of choice, and sleep. The show raises more questions than it answers. In other words, it makes you think, without making it feel like you’re working. If you haven’t already, I say give it a shot.
I have to thank Jared for the recommendation.
