Radiolab - Gray's Donation

On July 26th we hear and discuss a recent edition of Radiolab. The story recounts Sarah and Ross Gray's donation, and how that led them to unusual places with unusual questions, perhaps a conversation with the universe. Is life fair? If not, how do we respond. It's a moving, powerful and at times, a disturbing and compelling story. Please join us.

The generosity of curiosity

For July 19th: In a recent interview with neurologist Oliver Sacks, author of "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat" the narrator noted how Sacks personifies the generosity of curiosity. I had never heard that combination of words, but listening to Sacks, it's true. A certain type of natural, honest, deeply felt curiosity comes across as being a beautifully shared event. Join us, and see if you agree as we listen to the interview. Preview here (from 32:45, forward)
