Noise Pollution vs Silence

Sunday, July 20, 2003

In a 1937 lecture on the future of music, John Cage said: "Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 50 m.p.h. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments."

Radio Lab strolls through the neighborhoods we live in and the networks we connect to.


Adventures in the Other America

Sunday, July 06, 2003

This Sunday night, join Radio Lab for Adventures in the Other America. You'll hear about one man's quest to build his own Colorado castle, the world's longest diary, a reunion with Dad that goes awry and, for the 4th of July, some cold war nostalgia. No red, white and blue bunting, just another typical Radio Lab.
