Margins of the Musical Spectrum
Sunday, August 25, 2002
This week, Radio Lab explores the margins of the musical spectrum. Glen Gould adventures to the north in his head, we celebrate Oscar Peterson's 77th birthday with a retrospective. And finally, we continue with our history of rhythm and blues: this week we go back to the begining.
The World in Sound
Sunday, August 18, 2002
This week, Radio Lab navigates the world in sound. First, a stroll through the ancient streets of Fez Morrocco, followed by the sounds of "Fife and Drum" music from Mississippi. After that, summer camps, the struggle for modernity in Iran and some rhythm and blues to get you in the mood.
NY Screamers, Turkish Youth and Improv Comedians
Sunday, August 11, 2002
At last, we unveil the results of our experiment into the nature of the New York scream. Then, Turkish youth grapple with the uneasy question of modernity. Throw in an hour of comedy (sort of) and and an of Strip Clubs (sort of kind of), and what you've got is another average week of Radio Lab.
