Ira Glass geeks out on Radiolab for Transom.org.
I marvel at Radiolab when I hear it. I feel jealous. Its co-creators Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich have digested all the storytelling and production tricks of everyone in public radio before them, invented some slick moves of their own, and ended up creating the rarest thing you can create in any medium: a new aesthetic.
Jad Abumrad is a MacArthur Fellow.
Robert Krulwich‘s piece on Lucretius is lovely.
