Memory and Forgetting

Memory and Forgetting might be one of my favorite Radiolab podcasts because it explores a very intriguing idea of memory. Jad Abumrad and Rober Krulwich articulately explain how memories are made and how most of them are forgotten. Plus they have a special guest who tells a story of a man whose love for his wife and music overcomes his 7-second memory.

Laughter

On this cool and fascinating episode, Radiolab takes us on a journey of exploring what laughter is all about. Laughter is such a common action that none of us truly have a moment to reflect on how it all works and what it actually is. This is your chance to get the scoop on laughter from psychologists, psychbiologists, and professional comedians themselves!

Time

What is time? Is there truly a way to define it? These are the questions that are brought up in this episode of Radiolab, along with the idea of bending, stretching and wrestling time. The Radiolab team tries to unlock the mysteries of time and takes us back to the 19th century along the way.

Emergence

Emergence is all about the way that fireflies, bees and ants manage as a small unit. Somehow they work together in harmony toward a common goal and Radiolab describes how this happens. They focus on the logic of cities, Google and enlighten us on the ideas from experts in the fields of math, economy and neurology.

Colors

The world is full of different colors presented to us in different hues, but how can you be sure that what you see is what everyone else sees? In fact, there is actually a woman who can see thousands more colors than the rest of us and there is a sea creature that sees a rainbow and experiences colors in a way we will never be able to.
