This week on Radiolab: We break the thermometer and watch the mercury spill out as we discover that temperature is far stranger than it seems. We've got five stories that run the gamut from snakes to stars. Listen to Kleptotherms: lnk.to/radiolab?utm_s…
The bad news: At 35, Rachel E. Gross found out she had a stroke. The good news: the stroke was in her cerebellum, a part of the brain that doctors assured her was "redundant." But after Rachel had surgery in her cerebellum, she didn't feel like herself. lnk.to/radiolab?utm_s…
In 2024, I had a bleed in my cerebellum, a fist-sized part of my brain surgeons told me was "redundant" & mainly concerned with motor control. So why, after months of recovery, did I no longer feel like myself? I went to @Radiolab to find out. radiolab.org/podcast/song-o… #karaoke

A year ago we brought you a show called Shell Game where a journalist named Evan Ratliff made an AI copy of himself. Now, Evan’s using AI to do more than just mimic himself — he’s starting a company staffed entirely by AI agents. Listen here: lnk.to/radiolab?utm_s…
Love it or hate it, the freedom to say obnoxious and subversive things is the quintessence of what makes America America. But our say-almost-anything approach to free speech is actually relatively recent, and you can trace it back to one guy. Listen here: lnk.to/radiolab?utm_s…
TikTok has radically changed the online world, but maybe not how you’d expect. This week, we look at how Facebook’s approach to free speech has evolved since Trump’s victory and how TikTok upended everything we see. Listen to “Content Warning” here: lnk.to/radiolab?utm_s…

Scientists had no idea why evolution wouldn’t push females to keep reproducing up to the end of their lives. After looking at some whale poop, and diving into chimp life, we find several ways of thinking about menopause. Listen to The Menopause Mystery: bit.ly/49Qccfg
