I just 'discovered' Radiolab, and feel like I've won the lottery; what a fantastic group of talented people, incredible stories and tremendous performances-
When I was in preschool, I stated I wanted to be a paleontologist. I am a different person now, but this resonates with me greatly, and my love and admiration/respect for these creatures we will never meet has only grown. They nailed every aspect of this show, so beautifully done. Thank you.
The art of story telling....mastered. Excellence from start to finish. I heard this episode just this week on Capital Public Radio, Sacramento, CA and decided to check this out. The visuals are stunning, the band is stunning (almost an independent act) but it's the thoughtfulness, the planing, the union of all the elements, the craftsmanship of enlightenment that I truly admire. Well done. Thank you!
I'been a big Radiolab fan for many years, and have heard this broadcast several times, but this is the first time actually seeing it and the hosts. Kinda like seeing Garrison Keillor the first time after years of PHC.

That's an excellent episode of Radiolab, with great visualization on top of it! Well done folks!
I always listen to RadioLab on NPR Radio on Sundays. When this topic came up, I realised that it was a live audience show and just had to see it in detail just to actually see the visual details. We all generally know how the dinosaurs became extinct but this explanation provides plenty of detail for all of us to comprehend how simple the explanation can be given all the myriad of scientific facts. They also make the explanation very entertaining so that you stay focused and attentive so you can get a clearer understanding and why this remains so clearly and irrefutably true. Of course, the beauty of the scientific empirical method is that it always allows for refinement as new data and facts become available.
I love your show.I accidentally found it and what a find it was.Your show is fantastic.Hope more people find you.I will be sharing it with my friends.Thanks!!!
This is great! So well put together. I was actually moved a bit when that big dino died :) And Glenn Kotche (I think it's him, at least) does an awesome job behind that drumkit, by the way.
I enjoy the fact that, for a long time most scientists were in denial about how quickly it all went down. It's just so outlandish that it was all over in less than one day. That the world went from normal to mostly dead in a matter of hours.
gracious that ending made my eyes leaky. thanks to RL for puttin this on YT. there are people who kinda grow out of their childhood love of prehistoric life, and people who don't. glad i found some folks who didn't, like me. this reaffirms my hope for an afterlife where i can be a time-traveling ghost. would love nothing more than to visit northern Africa 100 million years ago and take a spinosaurus aegyptiacus's big croc-like snout in my hands and say "do you have any idea how magnificent you are!"
Question for anyone who may, or may not, know, or possibly the Radiolab folks ... this episode talks about how fast the atmosphere warmed up to that of a pizza oven and how fast everything basically evaporated. Are there any estimates for how long the earth stayed at this temperature and how long it took to return to a stable temperature? How long did the earth act as a heat sink and continue to radiate heat back in to the atmosphere?
Woah. Until now I had only heard these guys on Spotify. I had no idea they did this live!!!! This is incredible!! So talented!! I can't get over how hard this would be to do. Amazing! 🤩😁
Thank you for uploading this. What a wonderful presentation. I always listen to your podcast on the go but Live experience bought a whole new perspective of listening to radiolab.
Here we see part of the reason Jad Abumrad won a McArthur Genius award fellowship. I thought this was a little bit of genius displayed in creating a cutting edge science program with humor and musi. And great visuals. All done by the producers of radio program.
Yesterday, caught the end of this program on my car radio. I thought I'd Google it some day, and listen to the entire show later. And then promptly forgot about it when I got home. I dial up RUclips this morning, and what do I see in the "Show more" section? That same program. Co-inky-dink, or something more sinister?
I know this was from 5 yrs ago, but still wanted to share. The drum and bass players are a group called On Fillmore and the guitarist is a solo artist called Noveller.
Great show! I was on the edge of my seat, it just makes so much sense. The only downside is that I feel you really should have tipped your hat to the group that worked with Walter Alvarez in the 80's and 90's, this is built on the shoulders of giants. T-Rex and the Crater of Doom sets the stage and even discusses the small glass spheres that are the keystone for this hypothesis. Credit where credit is due
"I went to evergreen"---> Referring to the Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA, USA. Basically regarded within Washington State as a liberal arts with do-nothing-degrees type of higher education institute. So, to us Washingtonians, it is understandable how a scholar of dinosaur linguistics and paperclips could come out of Evergreen.
I find the theory interesting, but I do have a question. When the small glass beads enter the atmosphere, I would think they would quickly reach their limiting velocity and would therefore not have radiant heat.
Very compelling and incredible story-telling. If they said blue 4-foot aliens came to Earth and killed all the dinosaurs with phasers I would be inclined to believe it.... just keep playing those instruments and show me puppets!! :)
This is a very interesting hypothesis, but the idea strikes me more as an event that would sterilize the planet more than cause an extinction of ~60% of life. KT wasn't even the biggest extinction. This idea doesn't explain the survival of corals (which live in clear shallow water), turtles (which need to breathe air and thus would need to reach the surface; most today have a max of an hour or so), or the survival of flowers and other plants that have seeds buried too shallow to survive an oven atmosphere. Also doesn't explain survival of crocodilians or other reptiles in a degree that explains their Paleocene biodiversity. According to this, the only crocodilians that survived were small and burrowing yet crocodilians that are essentially the same as they are today had substantial diversity less than 5 million years after the KT impact. I just don't think an asteroid alone account for everything. As much as I loved this video I would prefer things like this lay disclaimers that these are hypotheses and we still don't know the exact causes of the extinction.
"I would prefer things like this lay disclaimers that these are hypotheses and we still don't know the exact causes of the extinction." I think that's a pretty moot opinion as this is obviously assumed upon viewing. Especially when all the researchers use "believe", "hypothesize", "theory", and "his argument" pretty consistently throughout the show. This is akin to labeling hot coffee as 'hot'.
> survival of corals (which live in clear shallow water) There's no evidence that the corals didn't all die off, but coral structures are just one stage of the coral life. Even if you removed and destroyed every coral structure on earth, within a couple decades coral would reappear as the free-floating mid-water medusae reattach to the rocks and start building structures again as new polyps. In addition, even if there was extreme heat in the air, that wouldn't necessarily transition to the water very well or very deep due to stratification of the water column along temperature lines.
Are there any books about dinosaurs that are presented/explained in an easily understandable way like this show? I'm intrigued and want to learn more but I am not a paleontology student, so I need something accessible!
It leaves out a LOT of stuff. The ancestors of the "true" birds (the only ones around today) spent most of their lives on the ground, like quail or roadrunners. They probably nested in burrows, much as burrowing owls still do today. When things started to heat up, if they were close enough to their burrows, they would have instinctively fled to them, and there they could ride out the heat pulse. The enantinorthines were mostly dedicated flyers, and didn't survive. Neither did the pterodactyls, but they were down to two very specialized genera already.
The basalmost 'placental' is not hypothetical. In fact, it lives among us today as a late survivor: Monodelphis. See www.ReptileEvolution.com/reptile-tree.htm for cladogram details.
This was beautiful, informative, funny, moving. I got wet eyes like 2 or 3 times watching it. Thinking it could've taken just one day, maybe one hour even, to kill off all of these incredible animals, to end a dynasty that stood for 200 million years, to think how fragile that makes *us* seem... it's just too much.
I think it’s important to know how long did it last, because certain animals couldn’t get enough air to survive under the dirt. And If every dinausaur body found was above the line, because if so, this theory can’t be true.
All the dinosaur fossils are found below the line. None have been found above the line so far. The belief is that the K-Pg boundary contains the organic material from all the dead organisms.
I love this podcast but I loath how they treat their audience like idiots occasionally. This video is such a fascinating discovery but the delivery is somewhat painful.
I think they are trying to do too many things at once. Science, music, theater, comedy. It just comes off as a little strange and cringy. 99% of the people that are interested in the science will show up here regardless. Trying to male it "cool" barely moves the needle in appealing to more people.

What an incredible production. I wish I was there. Standing ovation for the musicians. Wow
I found this show while researching for my science fair project. I am 8 yo. This was a so funny and I learned a lot. Thank you
I’m 7

Remember when we were 8 and doing research meant asking our parents 😂

Our teacher gave this video for us as extra credit, but I want to say this is far better than I expected
What age were you when your teacher gave this to you for extra credit?
I’m in college and my professor is making us watch it for extra credit plus we have to do a quiz based on it
When I was in preschool, I stated I wanted to be a paleontologist. I am a different person now, but this resonates with me greatly, and my love and admiration/respect for these creatures we will never meet has only grown.
They nailed every aspect of this show, so beautifully done. Thank you.
Man this is far better than I expected
RIP Dinosaurs
my anthropology professor assigned this to us for a grade and let me just say... i did not expect myself to be so invested
The art of story telling....mastered. Excellence from start to finish. I heard this episode just this week on Capital Public Radio, Sacramento, CA and decided to check this out.

My favorite episode of the best show ever to grace the air.
Wow... so many memories of in the car with my dad and just listing to radio lab on road trips.
How does this fantastic video have less than 200k I'll never know!
I just love watching this, as I've heard it many times and it never fails to amaze just how beautifully done it is!

I really think this is a great presentation. Music, humor, visuals, a steady and sensible stream of information.

I don't know what kind of genre this is, but it is beautiful, touching, modern and cool! Thanks!
I heard this on WGBH on my way home one night. And here I am - checking this funny, educational, and well-done performance out! 👍👍👍
You folks are amazing! Thank you for all you do! Always a shit load brighter upon experiencing your efforts. :)
I think this is utterly fascinating. The story of this so-called "Dinopocalypse" is so bizarre and mystical. Everything about the Earth is a wonder.
This is great! So well put together. I was actually moved a bit when that big dino died :) And Glenn Kotche (I think it's him, at least) does an awesome job behind that drumkit, by the way.

And the puppets were wonderful.

Holy smokes, I just found this channel. Amazing stuff, thanks Chris Do!
Thank you Radiolab. This is wonderful.
lol....this is so weird and random. Kind of loving it. Learning some new stuffs.
What a brilliant combination of science, art and music. It could be the story of the end of the human race as well.

This was a religious ceremony for dinosaurs.

Can these musicians PLEASE release some independent music!??
My god yes- they are incredible.
I know this was from 5 yrs ago, but still wanted to share. The drum and bass players are a group called On Fillmore and the guitarist is a solo artist called Noveller.
The drummer Chalky White did some work on Koan Sounds Polychrome album...chalkywhiteartist.bandcamp.com/ Good stuff
Sarah Lipstate is on Instagram. She is always working on new stuff. Such an underrated musician. She’s brilliant!
Love Radiolab.
Great stuff.
Had to come here for the great great grandma

Wonderful!!!!!
WERE GONNA MISS YOU ROBERT!!!!!!!! I ALREADY DO!!!!!!!!!
Was that Dave Matthews playing the dinosaur on stage??? Amazing.
Does anyone know where i can buy a video of this...for my mother.
Bonne
Shrewdinger is actually more clever than what I give the internet credit for. I'm surprised we didn't get Shrewdy Mcshrewface
You guys are incredible!
Graet show!
I did not laugh because I do not know what "I went to evergreen" means. heard this on the radio today. came here to watch.
Me too , good program .

SENSACIONAL!
I find the theory interesting, but I do have a question. When the small glass beads enter the atmosphere, I would think they would quickly reach their limiting velocity and would therefore not have radiant heat.
Mind blown
Very compelling and incredible story-telling. If they said blue 4-foot aliens came to Earth and killed all the dinosaurs with phasers I would be inclined to believe it.... just keep playing those instruments and show me puppets!! :)

Chewbaccafruit mayo. napkins. 500 1oz cups and lids. 24 oz cups and 24 oz lids.
Modern crocodiles can and do sometimes bury themselves in mud under extreme conditions, so it is not far fetched that a few species survive.
and all the birds!
Great fuckin show man😊😊
Wonder what the genotype looks like for a Dinosaur. Like mapping the dino genome. Big lizard bird?
Did the pollen also show up in the Southern Hemisphere?
Same thing happened to the unicorns and pegasus.
Are there any books about dinosaurs that are presented/explained in an easily understandable way like this show? I'm intrigued and want to learn more but I am not a paleontology student, so I need something accessible!
brista128 grab any encyclopedia about dinos
How is the ice age explained?
How did birds (If still explained as living dinosaurs?) survive this quick and total event?
It leaves out a LOT of stuff. The ancestors of the "true" birds (the only ones around today) spent most of their lives on the ground, like quail or roadrunners. They probably nested in burrows, much as burrowing owls still do today.
When things started to heat up, if they were close enough to their burrows, they would have instinctively fled to them, and there they could ride out the heat pulse.

The thick atmosphere probably didnt help with that temp rise.
This would be terrifying
The video doesn't line up with the audio. Otherwise, this is fantastic.
Is this about zombies?

Joe Rogan brought me here
Me too. Didn't know it was gonna be a nerd stage-play. GET TO IT!
Joe Rogan brought me here too ...I'm off to thumbs down more radio Lab posts now after they removed the MAGA frog flag post
Great stuff, in spite of the all too phallic dinosaur.
You know Dimetrodon isn't a dinosaur, right?It's a pelycasor. Otherwise great show!
The volume is tooo low
the last card.
what if the aliens brought the dinosaurs and they took some of the dinosaur before the astrod hit it
Funny scientist believe we came from such things but we came from space. Plain and simple. Good Day.
EPIC
That guy has a young sounding voice lol
This group of Geologists are "Rock" Stars.
...See what I did there?
Made a bad pun?
Starbuck2015 absolutely
That was a schist joke
Just curious how Mammals would have survived an entire surface on fire?
Burrows. The surviving mammals would have been underground at the time.

What. The. Fuck. ?
F
Wish I could just get a directors cut if the 15 minutes of information so I don’t have to sit through the 40 minutes of non relevant presentation.
Music was gay
I didn't know that music had sexual orientation. Good! Now I can date a gay music and maybe marry it :D
