This is a great hour of radio. I was hooked right off the bat: Robert Krulwich and Oliver Sacks in the same room, playing with a directional ball, and then Krulwich calls Sacks a weird guy! You can't beat that for a start. I laughed out loud a bunch of times, stopped what I was doing to listen and ponder, exclaimed wow, wow, wow, a lot, and when it ended, I wanted to listen again, and straight away. Fascinating content, production creatively and joyfully constructed and oh, yeah, it's about the brain. That's all I'll say. PDs, give your people a treat. If the rest of the series is as good as this, give them the whole dang smorgasbord.
