Radiolab

Vertigogo

This episode of Radiolab, first aired in 2012, features two stories about brains that have gone off course. The first story is about a young researcher who experiences a surreal day due to her own brain, while the second story is about a librarian who suffers from a mysterious set of symptoms she calls "gravitational anarchy." The episode credits Brenna Farrell as the producer and Tim Howard and Douglas Smith for their original music and sound design. The episode also thanks Sarah Montague, Ellen Horn, and actress Hope Davis, who read Rosemary Morton's story. The story was originally written by Berton Roueché and published in the New Yorker in 1958 and later in a book called "The Medical Detectives."
