Eric’s Weekly (or Close to Weekly) Blog/Podcast Review – Radiolab

Posted by eric on December 4th, 2008

Hey fans! What’s shakin’? It’s been several weeks since the last installment of EW(oCtW)B/PR and much has happened in the blog/podoshpere. In the spirit of the holidays, here’s your post-Thanksgiving roundup:

This American Life’s popular annual Poultry Slam episode hit the waves on 12/1. I haven’t listened yet, but I have high hopes; Ira and poultry go back a long way:

Cake Wrecks also has the holiday fever with a hearty assortment of turkey flavored cakes.

Delish.

Anyways, up this week is a podcast currently in the running for the coveted “my favorite thing ever”: Radiolab! Each episode of the show is an investigation of a scientific or philosophical question or topic, such as “Time”, “Sleep”, “Who Am I?”, etc. The show is hosted by two badass dudes, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich who ask some really tough questions and offer earth-shattering insights that I’m sure that juicers will be able to appreciate to their fullest.

The show also features some really great, creative sound design. Rock out to it.

Also, I will recommend that you listen to Radiolab when you have some time to pay attention to it. I don’t get as much out of it when it’s in the background. It’s good with a buddy too. So if you’re looking for something to do tonight, grab that special someone, plop on down, and get your mind blown. Seriously, do it.

Some top notch episodes:

Sperm
Choice
Who Am I?
Stress
Sleep
Time

Let everybody know if you listen and what you think in the comments! HOIYOI

    I finally listened to “Choice” two nights ago. If you have an hour to spare, especially if you’re trying to entertain yourself, this should be on your short-list of things-I-should-do-to-increase-my-understanding-of-the-world-around-me-and-enjoy-myself-immensely.
    For realsies.

    Ira Glass is a badass. I would highly recommend getting THIS AMERICAN LIFE on your Netflix. The cinematography, as well as the content, will make your brain water.
