Radiolab Podcast | Jad Abumrad | Talks at Google

Get behind the scenes insight into WNYC's Radiolab podcast. WNYC's Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, the show attempts to approach broad, difficult topics such as "time" and "morality" in an accessible and light-hearted manner and with a distinctive audio production style.
Since 2005, Abumrad has produced and co-hosted the nationally syndicated program. Abumrad was named a 2011 MacArthur Fellow. Jad Abumrad joins us fresh off his sabbatical to tell us all about how their beloved show gets made.

wow this is the first time I've seen the face behind one of my favorite podcasts

I love the idea that there is some intuitive important stuff that you want to know, and yet you don't know it. So you ask questions to find out. The important thing for me here is acknowledging my ignorance. I have somehow convinced myself that I understand things that I actually don't, and so much is lost without me even knowing I've lost it. It's a kind of humility, and the courage to ask about the obvious that can make this interesting. If you ask the right person, and they are willing to talk to you.

I have to add my joy in the phrase "a healthy disinterest". Perfect for so much.

wow the interviewer has a bit of an ego

[@supraphonicstudios]

this host / moderator seems incredibly unhappy and disinterested in being there / doing the job.
