So it goes somewhat like this. It's not late enough to quit, so I lean back on my chair, all the way back, and I just stare at my ceiling contemplating for a minute on what I could write about in my blog. Not a particularly easy topic, not that I have nothing to write about, having too much to write about isn't the case either.
What's happening in my head is a twisted carnival of sorts, a broth of ideas that are battling for dominion for my blogspace. Anything and everything from little snippets and comments on facebook to giant life-defying puzzles that have enticed my curousity for ages are brawling in an arena in my head. A handful of topics, like gladiators in a ring, engage one another in a brutal combat that seems straight out of Warhammer40K. Varied articles like movies, comic books, my college life,wolves, coffee, chess, my friends and several others land on the field. But all of a sudden, all the cacophony is swept away at the thought of two men walking in.
Meet Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich.
They're what some call science journalists.
In actuality, they're way more awesome that just that.
What they get to do is ask good questions. And in a sense that's satisfying more than just curiosity. It has an underlying sense of achievement when you think about how satisfying it is socially, to have a topic you can really go on. Did you ever stumble on a topic that made your brain cells light up, then some of your friends bring in some crazy stories that help explain chaos and confusion into simple and understandable ideas? No? Well then, you're in luck! Try their show, you'll become more open to any idea and interpretation of subjects that are just too vast to encompass alone.
Radiolab is a show by National Public Radio that explores giant topics that cringe, tickle or interest listeners on anything from human psychology, molecular biology to the vastness of time and space.
The first ever show i listened to was when I was doing one of my college assignments and i stumbled onto a topic of human behavior- why do people do bad things? I asked the almighty google, and what i received was, surprisingly, accurate. I ended up with the Bad Show, a 40 minute podcast that talks about exactly the thing i asked. But with it, came these extraordinary two men who try to explain the world we live in, in a light we don't usually see it in. And thus began my mind tingling journey through the archives.
You don't need to be brainy to listen to radiolab, you don't need to be avidly interested in child psychology, the origin of radio-terrorism, the effects of nuclear fallout, the rampage of killer ants or sex lives of watermelons. You just need to be a good listener, the avid interest comes naturally.
Try visiting radiolab, the Bad Show is a great one to start off with! Kudos to all the people who make the show possible!
