Radiolab: Where Sound Illuminates Ideas

Monday, June 28th, 2010

Hudson Square has always been a popular spot for artists who love to think “outside the box” – this is exactly what Robert Krulwich and Jad Abumrad have been doing in Hudson Square since they founded their WNYC show “Radiolab” in 2003.

Radiolab investigates and provides answers to listeners’ difficult questions that often blur the boundaries between science, philosophy and human experience.  While the world of science is the focus of the show, Radiolab pairs their intellectual topics with a distinct selection of music to give the program a little twist.

The show is produced out of WNYC’s studios at 160 Varick St. and the hosts have found that some of the show’s biggest fans are their fellow neighbors in Hudson Square.  “We keep getting fan letters from folks who work right around the block. It’s been great to find out that there are so many creative minds in the neighborhood,” said Jad.

Radiolab can now be heard on over 230 stations throughout the country with 10 hour-long programs each year.  To find out where you can hear Radiolab or to listen to their podcasts, visit their website by clicking here.
