Space

Friday, June 25, 2004

Star gazing, it’s hard not to feel small...and lonely Maybe that’s why it’s so irresistible to look out into all that darkness and see our own reflection staring us back, like Narcissus gazing into the pool. On this episode of Radio Lab, we reflect on our romance with, projections upon, and insignificance within space. Robert Krulwich joins Radio Lab host Jad Abumrad for this trip through the inner meanings of outer space.


Selling

Friday, June 18, 2004

In a world where everything is bought and sold, salespeople may well be the new psychics. What it is it they know about us that the rest of us don't?


Memories

Friday, June 11, 2004

This week Radio Lab looks at the mystery of memory - what our brains retain, forget and keep selectively hidden from us. We bring you stories that have memory at their center, along with interviews a few experts on the subject. Our special guest is Robert Krulwich, a network correspondent for ABC News, who appears regularly on Nightline, as well as reporting for ABC World News Tonight, Prime Time Live, and Good Morning America. He has been called, "the man who makes the dismal science swing," by the Washington Journalism Review.


Time

Friday, June 04, 2004

Jorge Luis Borges wrote, "Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire," and it’s as close a definition as we have. But maybe if we slow time down enough, or speed it up enough, we can unlock its secrets. On this week’s Radio Lab, we’re using our hour to try and do just that.

Joining host Jad Abumrad for this hour is our special guest is Robert Krulwich, NOVA host and correspondent for ABC News, Nightline, Frontline, Prime Time Live, and Good Morning America. He has been called, "the man who makes the dismal science swing."
