Radiolab

Radiolab - After Life [Ken Baldwin, Paul Broks, David Eagleman, Gary Greenberg, Adrian Owen, Lee Silver, Jeffrey Tambor, John Troyer, Emily Voigt, Peter Ward and Jan Zalasiewicz]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This hour: Radiolab stares down the very moment of passing, and speculates about what may lie beyond.
What happens at the moment when we slip from life...to the other side? Is it a moment? If it is, when exactly does it happen? And what happens afterward? It's a show of questions that don't have easy answers. So, in a slight departure from our regular format, we bring you eleven meditations on how, when, and even if we die.

Radiolab - Parasites [Dickson Despommier, Dr. Robert Sapolsky, Fuller Torrey, Pat Walters and Carl Zimmer]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's gotten into you? In this hour, Radiolab uncovers a world full of parasites.

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.

Radiolab - In Defense of Darwin? [Richard Dawkins]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins' daughter was six years old, he told her that flowers are not here for beauty, not here for the bees, but instead merely to copy their own DNA. Sigh, what a Dad. So is Richard Dawkins always so gloomy and reductionist about the world? Well yes, but he would say that his vision of the world is anything but gloomy, he even calls it romantic. In this conversation from the 92nd St Y, Robert challenges Dawkins on this and a number of other sticky spots on the topic of biological evolution.

Radiolab - Revising the Fault Line [Dr. Robert Sapolsky]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new tussle over an old story, and some long-held beliefs, with neurologist and author Robert Sapolsky.

Four years ago, we did a story about a man with a starling obsession that made us question our ideas of responsibility and justice. We thought we’d found some solid ground, but today Dr. Sapolsky shows up and takes us down a rather disturbing rabbit hole.

Radiolab - After Birth [Charles Fernyhough]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pardon the graphic pun, but hey! For this podcast, Jad--a brand new father--wonders what's going on inside the head of his baby Amil.

(And don't worry, you don't need kids to enjoy this podcast.) The questions here are big: what is it like to be so brand new to the world? None of us have memories from this time, so how could we possibly ever know? Is it just chaos? Or, is there something more, some understanding from the very beginning? Jad found a development psychologist named Charles Fernyhough to explore some of his questions.

Radiolab - Animal Minds [Patrick Hof, Alexandra Horowitz, Jonah Lehrer, Paul Nicklen, Paul Theroux and Clive Wynne]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this hour of Radiolab, stories of cross-species communication.

When we gaze into the eyes of a wild animal, or even a beloved pet, can we ever really know what they might be thinking? Is it naive to assume they're experiencing something close to human emotions? Or is it ridiculous to assume that they AREN'T feeling something like that? We get the story of a rescued whale that may have found a way to say thanks, ask whether dogs feel guilt, and wonder if a successful predator may have fallen in love with a photographer.

Radiolab - Killing Babies, Saving the World [Josh Greene]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To get this podcast started, Robert ambushes Jad with a question...a question we've all been dying to ask him since June 10th, 2009, when Amil Abumrad came into the world.
But fear not, we didn't do a whole podcast just to give the new dad a hard time. Robert talks to Josh Greene, the Harvard professor we had on our Morality show. They revisit some ideas from that show in the context of the big, complicated problems of today (think global warming and nuclear war). Josh argues that to deal with those problems, we're going to have to learn how to make better use of that tiny part of our brain that handles abstract thinking. Not a simple proposition, but, despite the odds, Josh has hope.

Radiolab - Blink [Walter Murch]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We ask a question we thought was a no-brainer in this podcast: why do we blink?
Film editor Walter Murch tells us about a strange discovery he made years ago while working on The Conversation - could something as small as a blink actually be the trick of his trade? We also talk to Japanese researchers Tamami Nakano and Shigeru Kitazawa about the experiment they conducted to understand how we see the world, when we choose not to, and why.

Radiolab - The Shy Baboon [Barbara Smuts]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this podcast, a biopsychologist attempts to find an elusive bit of shared space across species lines.

Barbara Smuts, a professor at the University of Michigan, tells the story of trying to gain the trust of a troop of baboons in a remote area of Kenya in the 1970s.

Radiolab - Placebo [Dr. Naji Abumrad, Fabrizio Benedetti, preacher Steve Buza, Dr. Daniel Carr, Ed Cohen, Ann Harrington, Dr. Albert Mason, Daniel Moerman and Tor Wager]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With new research demonstrating the startling power of the placebo effect, this hour of Radiolab examines the chemical consequences of belief and imagination.
Could the best medicine be no medicine at all? We take stock of the pharmacy in our brains, consider the symbolic power of the doctor coat, and visit the tent of a self-proclaimed faith healer.

Radiolab - Blame [Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've all felt it, that irresistible urge to point the finger. But new technologies are complicating age-old moral conundrums about accountability. This hour, we ask what blame does for us -- why do we need it, when isn't it enough, and what happens when we try to push past it with forgiveness and mercy?

Radiolab - Fu Manchu [Ben Calhoun]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In our episode Animal Minds, we asked whether it was possible for one animal to know what was going on in another animal's mind. For us, it was a really about whether we, as humans, can really share a meaningful moment with an animal. In this podcast, we take that question another step further.
Can an animal know what's in our heads so well that they can manipulate and deceive us? To answer that question, reporter Ben Calhoun takes us back to the 1960s to tell the story of a showdown between zookeeper Jerry Stones and a wily orangutan named Fu Manchu. Then, to help us get a grip on the science behind animals and deception, Ben talks to primatologist and orangutan expert Rob Shumaker of the Indianapolis Zoo.

Sorry photo is not actually Fu Manchu.

米ニューヨーク（New York）の退役軍人病院で6月30日、近未来的な義肢の実演会が行われた。

「ルーク・アーム（LUKE Arm）」と名付けられた第3世代の義肢は、SF映画「スター・ウォーズ（Star Wars）」シリーズでルーク・スカイウォーカー（Luke Skywalker）が装着したロボットアームにちなんでいる。

　何年もの試験を経て、2016年5月に首都ワシントン（Washington D.C.）で初披露されたルーク・アームは、卵のように壊れやすいものからブドウ一粒大の小さなものまでつかむことができ、ねじ回しを扱うこともできる。

　ルーク・アームを製造している米企業メビウス・バイオニクス（Mobius Bionics）の代表、ジェイ・バークホルダー（Jay Burkholder）氏は、注文数量にもよるが、年内にも数十セットは販売可能だと述べている。義肢はそれぞれ受注生産されるが、価格については明らかにされていない。

　一方、米国防総省の研究技術機関である国防高等研究計画局（DARPA）と共にルーク・アームの開発に携わってきた米企業デッカ（Deka）の創立者ディーン・ケイメン（Dean Kamen）氏は、価格は10万ドル（約1100万円）前後になるだろうとの見方を示している。

　最初にルーク・アームを受け取ることになるのは、腕を切断した退役軍人たちだ。イラクやアフガニスタンでの紛争で手足を失った米兵は1600人以上いる。

　今回の実演会に参加した、40年前に左腕を失った退役軍人のフレッド・ダウンズ（Fred Downs）さん（72）は、（ルーク・アームを装着して）物を持ち上げることができたときに涙をこらえたのを覚えていると語った。同じく退役軍人で自動車事故で片腕を失ったアーティ・マコーリー（Artie McAuley）さんは、アメフトの観戦中に応援しているチームがタッチダウンを決めたら以前のように両手を上げて喜べると話し笑顔を見せた。(c)AFP

Radiolab - In C [Michael Lowenstern and Zoe Keating]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so last podcast you heard counting babies. Here’s a new spin...

Not too long ago, Jad was invited to contribute to In C Remixed, a compilation of remixed versions of the 1964 Terry Riley piece that quietly changed the world of classical music (and eventually pop music too). In this podcast, Jad talks to musicians Michael Lowenstern and Zoe Keating about their remixes, what they did and why. Then Jad plays Robert his own kaleidoscopic remix of In C: minimalism as seen through the lenses of fatherhood and Radiolab. For his version, Jad threw a few counting babies into the musical mix (actually, only one of the babies can count ... the one that isn’t his).

Special thanks to Amanda Aronczyk and her daughter Mina (the baby who actually counts), to Bill Ryan and the Grand Valley State New Music Ensemble, and to Silas Brown and Jennifer Munson (for their engineering expertise).

Radiolab - AV Smackdown . . . The Podcast [Robert The Krusher Krulwich]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On May 6th, at WNYC's new Jerome L. Greene Performance Space, we opened up an age old can of worms. Jad and Robert faced off over which medium is superior -- television or radio. This American Life's Ira Glass was the referee. There were stunning jabs, wicked uppercuts, and even the occasional low blow.
In TV’s corner, Robert The Krusher Krulwich hit hard with stunning video images, but audio-savant Jad Boom Boom Abumrad pounded his opponent with the power of sound. The bout went five hard rounds and had to go to the cards for a decision. Tears were shed, and after a short intermission Jad and Robert sat down with Ira to discuss the challenges of working in both TV and Radio.

Radiolab - It Might Be Science [Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich with John Flansburg]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They Might Be Giants just came out with a new album, 'Here Comes Science.' So we invited them to come play with us at our season launch party last week at the Water Taxi Beach in Queens. And then we ambushed them with annoying little questions about science and about the tricky business of turning science into entertainment ... because of that whole, you know, 'getting the facts right' thing.

On this podcast, we decided to share this magical evening with those of you who weren't able to join us live. Hope you enjoy the music, pesky science teachers, and miasmas of plasma.

Radiolab - Juana Molina [singer, songwriter and actress]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes on the podcast, we like to talk about musicians and the music they make. Today we introduce you to Juana Molina. Last season we used some of her of music in the breaks for the Sperm show. We received an outpouring of email asking about her music, so this podcast is for those curious listeners who wrote in and for those who haven't heard about her ... until now.

Radiolab - Helicopter Boy [a story about a mom, a boy, and a home-made helicopter]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this podcast, a story about a mom, a boy, and a home-made helicopter.

(And no! This has nothing to do with the Balloon Boy incident.) Instead, it's about how public radio...literally saved a boy's life. Well, not quite. But sorta. Kinda. It's a story about why we do what we do: we're trying to tell stories that move you and make you feel different about the world, even just a little bit.

Radiolab - REBROADCAST: Detective Stories
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're celebrating summer with a classic episode of Radiolab--full of mystery, intrigue...and a goat standing on a cow. We haven't actually tried listening to it around a campfire, but we're betting it would totally work. See you in two weeks with a new short!
In the meantime, we go sleuthing to dig up the past in some very unusual places: an ancient trash dump in Egypt, the side of the highway in California, and in the blood of 16 million men in Central Asia.

Radiolab - The Gondolier [Kristen Clark and David Conrad]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We travel to Venice, Italy with reporters Kristen Clark and David Conrad, where they meet gondolier Alex Hai. On the winding canals in the most hidden parts of Venice, we learn about the nearly millenia old tradition of the Venetian Gondolier, and how Alex was forced into a 20 year battle against this job that he loved, and, in some ways, himself.

Reported by David Conrad and Kristen Clark. Produced by Annie McEwen and Molly Webster.

Special thanks to Alexis Ungerer, Summer, Alex Hai, Kevin Gotkin, Silvia Del Fabbro, Sandro Mariot, Aldo Rosso and Marta Vannucci, The Longest Shortest Time (Hillary Frank, Peter Clowney and Abigail Keel), Tim Howard, Nick Adams/GLAAD, Valentina Powers, Florence Ursino, Ann Marie Somma, Alex Overington, Jeremy Bloom and the people of Little Italy.
