-intermission-

Since I mentioned WNYC's program, RadioLab, recently, I thought now would be a good time to take a break from the World Cup Mini-Series and discuss. 

As mentioned earlier, I was one of the last people to disembark from the ship and touch foot on the new soil. Maybe it is part of my conservative side, but it takes a LOT for me to commit to subscribing to a podcast/blog/digital excess (such as the music cave). Let me also inform you fine folks that RadioLab is not about music. They do, on occasion, talk about music they like, but that is fairly infrequent. This podcast has made me a more interesting person. Well, at least I have found my own thoughts more interesting since listening to it. Remember when you were a kid and you aren't sure why, but you asked about a BILLION questions a day- the sky was the limit and there was no ridiculous question because there were no parameters holding back your imagination? That is what this podcast does. They discuss tons of nerdy science stuff that is absolutely fascinating. Let me just jot down a few of the topics that have been discussed in the hour long program: 

Blinking

Face Blindness

Parasites

Deception

Lucy (the chimp)

Animal Minds

Death & the Afterlife

Stochasticity (yeah, I didn't know what that meant either until I listened to the program)

The list is pretty extensive, but all have been really interesting. So interesting, in fact, that I now listen to the show while I run. People on Town Lake probably think I'm crazy- and that could either be due to the fact that its around 94 degrees, 7:30pm and I am running, sweating my face (read: balls) off. Seriously, I smile (occasionally giggle) at the show with all the crazy cool stuff they talk about. 

I know that I already pushed WEXP's Song of the Day on you, but I know that I didn't lead you astray with that recommendation, so you should probably trust me on this one too. 

WNYC, New York City NPR station- RadioLab. The increasing number of wrinkles in your brain will thank you. 

Here's to the interesting discussion that we have the next time we meet! Cheers!

PS- if you speak RadioLab to me (and you are a dude) I will immediately find you sexy. RadioLab will win you insta-points. NBD, just sayin'.
