The show recorded a live taping from a theater in Manhattan overlooking the Hudson River. This episode explored themes of voids through three distinct stories. The first story focused on a screaming fish and its silent counterpart in the night. The second story featured women gazing at the night sky, emphasizing the vastness of the universe. The third narrative centered on a man claiming to talk to aliens and the skepticism he faced. The episode then returned to Earth with a reading from Samantha Harvey's novel "Orbital," performed by Helga Davis. This reading delved into the meaning of confronting a void. The live taping was produced by Little Island, with special acknowledgments to various voice actors and author Anna von Mertens. The episode's reporting and production credits are detailed, along with information on how to support Radiolab through newsletters and memberships. Further support for Radiolab's science programming comes from several foundations.
