Piece Description
We peer inside the brains of people contemplating moral dilemmas, watch chimps at a primate research center share blackberries, observe a playgroup of 3 year-olds fighting over toys, and tour the country's first penitentiary, Eastern State Prison. Also: the story of land grabbing, indentured servitude and slum lording in the fourth grade.

Review of Radio Lab, Show 203: MoralityI heard this piece on Sunday, December 17, 2006. Concerning the problem involving the men working on the tracks, I was very surprised that no one could explain the basic difference between the two situations. In the first case there are only two choices; either letting five men die or throwing a switch which would result in the death of only one man. However, in the second case, there are not two choices as presented, but actually three. As presented, the choices were letting the five men die on the tracks as opposed to pushing an individual off the bridge thus warning the train to stop. The third choice would be to jump in front of the train yourself. I think subconsciously this is the reason that people were against this last choice. By pushing the individual off the bridge they would not only be saving the lives on the men on the tracks, but also your life. In other words, you would be killing an innocent person to save your own. Terry Cassady

Review of Radio Lab, Show 203: Morality
This is excellent radio. It's thought-provoking, amusing and, most importantly, brilliantly produced. The use of music is perfect and the innovative way the two presenters interact within each feature has the effect of drawing you in futher to the discussion. This is a great example of how quite simple features can become transformed using imaginative production. There was superb editing work in there.
I give five stars as sparingly as Howard Hughes gave interviews but I have no hesitation in recommending this and no doubt all the other Radio Lab programmes too.
