As someone who mega-loved this show, it’s sad to see how things have changed now

“Radiolab “old testament” is something I deeply loved, identified with, I listened to each episode multiple times, wrote poetry about, shared with family, friends and strangers, and would break into a radiolab story at the slightest provocation. It was science communication at its finest, the pure unadulterated joy of discovery funneled through the headphones in my junkie brain with a side of hearty Robert Krulwich humor.
On a personal level this show uplifted me from a period of severe depression and helped me find my passion towards a career in science.
I can not relate to the new version of the show anymore. I have tried hard but I dont enjoy the shift that happened after Jad decided to make Radiolab about social complexities. We live in those complexities and that’s enough for me, I used to come to Radiolab for a different purpose: the simple wonder of scientific discovery and curiosity, told with stories that had heart and humor, and, not to mention, impeccable sound engineering. I miss that unique essence of Radiolab, which can be found in some of the new stories by Molly Webster still, but the show has lost its core meaning to me overall.
I know I am cranky and old, and I don’t want to dismiss the hard work of the Radiolab team, but I do dream of a dedicated old-timey science spinoff by Molly and others.”

“The best science podcast yet produced, for the layman, in my ken: informative, cutting edge, not dumbed down. One caveat, the producers should note that listeners use headphones and loud screeching sounds are enervating to the human auditory aparatus.”
