Radiolab

Hello people's. Today I'm blogging about my favorite podcast that I listen to. Here it goes.

My favorite podcast is called Radiolab. The full hour long shows come out about once a month and the shorts out around every two weeks. So Radiolab is basically a show about ummm... Everything. Every show has a topic and the topic is dissected and looked at scientifically and in a full show is normally told in several amazing, thought provoking stories. But don't let the scientific part of it put you off its a great show for all ages and types of people and all the concepts are explained very well. (If there is violent or explicit content one of the hosts will always warn you beforehand.)

Some of the stories are very sad, some of them are very happy, and most of them will leave you thinking for a while. One of the things that makes Radiolab such a great podcast is the sounds. Audio is their medium and they utilize it beautifully. Each show is filled with the most perfect sounds, songs, and moods that go along with the stories and you can picture everything perfectly in your head and they edit everl ything perfectly. They also released a video of one of their live shows and the full audio of the show.

From this you can see that they also use amazing visuals on enormous screens, and huge articulate puppets, and bands. Every show they produce is an experience in itself. I listen to it every time I go to the gym with my phone and earbuds and since I listen it so often I've started listening to their older episodes and have almost listened to all of their full shows.

I highly recommend listening to at least one of these full podcasts. Radiolab from WNYC is hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich and their website is radiolab.org Bye peoples.
