Radiolab: Live In the Dark November 3, 2011

Radiolab’s Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich explore what it’s like to be In the Dark—from two very different realities described by two blind men, to the dawn of sight and the evolution of the eye, to what children feel when you turn out the lights. A night of gripping stories, wonder-inducing demonstrations, and jaw-dropping illustrations. An immersive, perspective-shaking experience, Radiolab is an expedition of the mind—where vivid storytelling, cutting-edge sound design, and a genre-bending spirit of inquiry pull listeners into a world of curiosity and discovery. Radiolab’s signature sound derives from an electric chemistry between hosts Jad Abumrad, an award-winning radio producer, and Robert Krulwich, a highly-acclaimed science reporter, who bring a sense of surprise, humor, and hands-on eagerness to complex topics, and explore big ideas with an infectious enthusiasm for the mysteries of science, and the magic of real-life experiences.
