Radiolab: the end of their "Afterlife" series

Jan 16, 2013 10:22

Since I started working in shops after graduating, I've taken a liking to listening to podcasts during the day. I'm usually working alone so it really makes the time go by quicker, and when I'm doing brainless tacks like gluing felt, sanding, or attaching little wooden parts to wooden rails... well, it's nice to give my brain something to do.

Radiolab is my favorite--it's on NPR, though I don't remember ever hearing it (despite having listened to NPR for several years now) until Jesse introduced me to it. The show is based in science but there's a lot of philosophy and humor in it, too. It's kind of like "This American Life" in style/focus.

Anyway... recently I listened to some back episodes--one called "Afterlife," followed by several Shorts episodes that continued on that theme.

Go ahead and take 10 minutes out of your day to check these out; you might just see the world in a slightly new light:
