Inside Science with Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich Sat. Jan. 21, 2017 at 8:00 PM Radiolab is a podcast/radio/stage show about science, philosophy, history — Big Ideas. It’s an ongoing experiment that has attracted large, young audiences to complex topics, and it does that by exploring new ways to match words, sounds, music and more to tackle some of the densest questions we can ask. In this talk, Robert Krulwich dissects a series of Radiolab stories, sharing early drafts of stories, changes made by him and his partner, Jad Abumrad, arguments they had, ideas that turned out to be mistakes, stories that worked wonderfully and tales that got them into trouble. This lecture includes audio clips, video clips and, in some cases, experiments in theater and web design.
