It's hard to estimate the value of this podcast
06/01/2006
This podcast stands out as pretty much constantly astounding. As someone who writes about science for a living, the 'scientific' concepts here are rendered in an enviably fascinating and pretty much idiot-proof way. It's a testament to the skills of the hosts in their use of the audio format that they can cruise through really complex stuff and give the ordinary listener entertainment and learning in a single scoop. This is the best. Now if they would only get season one on itunes....
Radiolab broke my brain.

This show is utterly amazing. Words are layered upon the noises and music to immerse you in a story that is surprising every time. Put on headphones, tune in, and stare at a wall, and you will be completely enthralled while doing absolutely nothing else. This is the only show I tell people to buy with no regrets- because I am certain everyone will love it as much as I do. Jad and Robert were the originals, and their work stands the test of time. Latif and Lulu do a fantastic job of carrying the torch forward. Subscribing to this show is some of the best money I have ever spent. It brings me more contentment than putting on brand new socks- and that is a high bar of satisfaction to surpass.

Terrible. This used to be the best thing on NPR. Now it’s the worst.
Mass produced garbage

Unbelievable amount of ads for a 30 minute show. And what is with the random woman screaming opera? Couldn’t listen to it, couldn’t even finish one episode
