Generation Gilmore Girls: Oy, with the Gilmores already!

"Gilmore Girls" premiered on The WB in October 2000 and it’s still finding new fans 25 years later. In this episode, we’re on a mission to find out how "Gilmore Girls" found its audience, while staying true to itself – from its "Gilmore speed” delivery, its pop culture-packed references, and its complicated female characters. Hear why it resonates from actor Keiko Agena, who played Lane Kim on the show, and fan and "Ginny & Georgia" creator Sarah Lampert. Parents, a heads-up: audio contains a few bleeped explicit words.

A Paleontologist Digs Into The Science Of Whales

They can weigh over a hundred tons, live their entire lives underwater, and some even hunt using sound through a method known as echolocation. Yet, whales are also complex social creatures who share much in common with humans. This hour we talk with paleontologist Nick Pyenson about why he has dedicated his life to studying whales, or as he puts it, “Earth’s Most Awesome Creatures.” Pyenson’s new book, Spying on Whales, takes readers on a scientific quest to understand the evolutionary journey of whales from dog-sized land mammals to the ocean giants of today.
