Review of Radio Lab, Show 102: Stress
Fantastic work !
You've taken a topic, of which contents and examples of stress behaviors, surprized me. Since I am also an R.N., the topic of stress, as a continuing education, is familiar to me. But you've managed to choose fabulous researchers to take the topic into the realm of fascinating.
Superb use of music beds, great use of this for punches...
I loved the extrapolation of the Stanford rat experiments, and baboon social safety net.
I was, however, at times confused about who was talking. The hosts voice and the other individuals sounded so similar (the males, toward the latter part of the show) that I couldn't follow (more the exception than the rule).

Review of Radio Lab, Show 102: Stress
fresh – thoughtful – playful – the very best kind of radio. "Radio Lab" tackles big ideas, brings them down-to-size to show us how they effect us all and follows it up with truly gripping human stories.
This show about "stress" captures a wide range of emotion – from abject horror to complete amusement with an intimacy that seems all too rare.
The rapport between Jad and Robert is so warm and so genuine that I wish I were sitting down with them over a beer, listening, laughing and whiling away the hours.
Thanks and big, big congrats to Jad, Robert, Ellen and your tribe of contributors. Thanks, too, to the execs at WNYC who encouraged this to happen – please make any deal with the devil you must - secure the funding and make more!
Stations... snap it up!
