Radiolab: The Good Show

Print More

 

Wahoo! Radio Lab returns to Vermont Public Radio with a
brand new season.

We start off on the right foot with a GOOD show. In fact, it
is "The Good Show." Jad and
Robert tackle altruism, kindness, selflessness, and generosity.  Radiolab asks the questions:  if natural selection boils down to survival
of the fittest, why would one creature stick its neck out to help another? Is
altruism an aberration, or just an elaborate guise for sneaky self-interest? Do
we really live in a selfish, dog-eat-dog world? Or has evolution carved out a
hidden code that rewards genuine cooperation?  Experts and everyday folk tell their tales.

Join VPR for five weeks of Radiolab from WNYC.  Next week, Jad and Robert steer their way
through a series of stories about getting lost and finding the way home. In "Help!" Radiolab looks for ways to gain the
upper hand over those forces inside us – from unhealthy urges, to creative
insights – and explores stories of unlikely (and surprisingly simple) answers
to seemingly unsolvable problems in "Soul Patch" . In the last episode
of this season, Radiolab will set out in search of order and balance in the
world around us.

Tune In Saturdays at 4 o’clock
for brand new episodes of Radiolab.
