Exploring memory in this edition of Radio ab with Jad & Robert, has never been so fascinating...or hallucinogenic. Many engaging stories are told:

a wife whose husband has no memories past a few seconds and how music brings it back

how memory is constructed by the barin

how memory is deconstructed by science.

All told in RadioLab's curious Krulwichian, like Ken Nordine on caffeine, like a David Mamet verbal habit.

I was nearly worn out by the last stretch of the program, but the journey was still intriguing.

RadioLab is an experiment gone right, doing what radio can do best: tell stories in new ways, and this hour on memory has some transcendent moments that make the frentic narrative, all the more worth the listen.

Play this one at noon any week day, and then repeat it at night... a week night or a Sunday evening.
