Just wanted to do a quick post recommending the best new podcast I’ve heard in a while: Radio Lab.
I heard about the show from an excerpt on a recent episode of This American Life. I really liked that portion I heard there, and I just finished listening to the episode on placebo and a fascinating one on sleep and dreams.
To get an idea of what it’s like, it has kind of a similar feel to TAL, but all based around scientific studies of a particular topic each episode. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it.
