Radiolab Every Saturday through July

KRTS is happy to announce a season of Radiolab, the popular, Peabody award winning show from WNCY. Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Hear the new 13 episode season on KRTS every Saturday at 3 PM in May, June, and July.

On this weeks show, “Talking to Machines.” What can machines tell us about being human? This hour of Radiolab, hosts Jad and Robert meet humans and robots who are trying to connect, and blur the line. They talk to the world’s most advanced robot, meet a man who fell in love with a chatbot, and argue with the inventor of Furby over whether a toy can ever really be “alive.”

Radiolab this Saturday

Tune in this Saturday, May 12, for the latest episode of Radiolab, the popular, Peabody award winning show from WNCY. Radiolab is a show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience. Hear an episode from their new season on KRTS every Saturday at 3 PM in May, June, and July.

This Saturday’s topic: Games. A good game–whether it’s a pro football playoff, or a family showdown on the kitchen table–can make you feel, at least for a little while, like your whole life hangs in the balance. This hour of Radiolab, hosts Jad and Robert wonder why we get so invested in something so trivial. What is it about games that make them feel so pivotal?
