World, meet Radiolab.
If you think TED videos are interesting/informative, prepare to be overwhelmed. Imagine all the insight in one TED video compressed down to its main points, then mixed in with the same from all other related TED vids—what you’ll get is equivalent to one Radiolab broadcast.
Radiolab is a podcast out of NY that single-handedly makes the podcast a worthy invention. It’s an hour long show featuring two awesome/hilarious hosts (and their band of merry interns) discussing, story-telling, interviewing, and philosophizing about some of the most interesting topics in life. Here’s a few random titles: Choices, Limits, Numbers, Lucy, Famous Tumours, The Luckiest Lobster, Contact, Who Am I?, Chasing Bugs… the list goes on for another 80 or so.
The one I’m posting now is called “Oops” and it’s the first one I ever heard. Like heroin, it’s a good place to start the inevitable binge into your soon-to-be re-examined life. It’s basically a compilation of really captivating stories about crazy coincidences/mistakes.
After you give it a listen (Warning: you’ll need an hour of uninterrupted attention—you can try doing other things, but it’s so interesting you’ll probably just find yourself sitting, unable to focus on anything but the sweet noise in your ears), you should chat with me about it because I’d love to hear your take on this kind of stuff.
