Super Cool
00:24:15 | Season: 1 | Episode: 11 | March 24th, 2020
When we started reporting a fantastic, surreal story about one very cold night, more than 70 years ago, in northern Russia, we had no idea we’d end up thinking about cosmology. Or dropping toy horses in test tubes of water. Or talking about bacteria. Or arguing, for a year. Walter Murch (aka, the Godfather of The Godfather), joined by a team of scientists, leads us on what felt like the magical mystery tour of super cool science.
Bite the Dust
00:16:19 | Season: 1 | Episode: 10 | March 24th, 2020
Whatever your feelings on Disco, it’s hard not to root for the resurgence of one particular track that started taking CPR classes by storm. Producer Ellen Horne explains how one aptly named 70s mega-hit could help you save someone’s life.
Parasites
00:36:22 | Season: 1 | Episode: 9 | March 24th, 2020
Could parasites be the shadowy hands that pull the strings of life? We explore nature’s moochers, with tales of lethargic farmers, zombie cockroaches, and even mind-controlled humans (kinda, maybe). And we examine claims that some parasites may actually be good for you.
Mischel’s Marshmallows
00:15:09 | Season: 1 | Episode: 8 | March 24th, 2020
Psychologist Walter Mischel explains how one little test involving a marshmallow might tell you a frightening amount about what kind of person you are. And Radiolab favorite Jonah Lehrer helps us make sense of the results. This one’s all about our will power (or lack thereof).
Everything and Nothing
00:17:20 | Season: 1 | Episode: 7 | March 24th, 2020
Math can get pretty loopy, at least when we try to explain it. But according to author Alex Bellos, the most straightforward mathematical concept might be the loopiest. Then producer Mark Philips introduces us to William Basinski, a composer who loops analog tape to create a unique sort of music. One day, Basinski dug up some of his old tapes, stuck them into his player, and heard a melody in the throes of death.
Loop the Loop
00:16:12 | Season: 1 | Episode: 6 | March 24th, 2020
For most of human history, flight was an impossible dream. In this short, the dizzying rise and fall of a pilot whose aeronautic feats changed aviation forever and turned chancy stunts into acrobatic mastery.
KILL EM' ALL
00:21:42 | Season: 1 | Episode: 5 | March 24th, 2020
They buzz. They bite. And they have killed more people than cancer, war, or heart disease. Here’s the question: If you could wipe mosquitoes off the face of the planet, would you?
Is Laughter Just A Human Thing?
00:21:28 | Season: 1 | Episode: 4 | March 24th, 2020
Aristotle thought that laughter is what separates us from the beasts, and that a baby does not have a SOUL, until the moment it laughs for the first time. Historian Barry Sanders, author of Sudden Glory, says that according to Aristotle, this moment of “human ensouling” is supposed to happen when a baby is 40 days old. We follow radio producer Amanda Aronczyk as she tests this theory on her newborn baby.
