Deep Cuts

Lulu and Latif discuss past Radiolab episodes with enduring relevance. Lulu highlights a 2008 episode about composer David Lang creating music for a hospital morgue in France. The episode, produced by Jocelyn Gonzales, explores art in the face of death. Latif recalls a 2009 episode where Jad, as a new father, investigates the inner world of babies. The episode delves into the fundamental question of what it means to be new to the world. Jad consults with developmental psychologist Charles Fernyhough to understand infant perception. The exploration aims to understand if newborns experience chaos or possess innate understanding. The podcast emphasizes that listeners don't need to have children to appreciate the episode. These revisited episodes offer fresh perspectives and enduring insights. Listeners are encouraged to support Radiolab through donations.
