Piece Description

Radio Lab takes a spin through the history of time, making stops at the first railroad and the first high-speed photography, which froze a horse in mid-air. Joining us on this trip: Rebecca Solnit, author of River of Shadows and Jay Griffith, author of A Sideways Look at Time. We examine the relativity of time -- how time for You is different than time for Me -- with physicist Brian Greene and neurologist Oliver Sacks. And we'll hear a piece on the experience of listening to Beethoven's 9th Symphony for 24 hours straight - but only hearing it once.

Review of Radio Lab, Show 104: Time

There are times when public radio explains things in very dry terms, big fact programs that take the ordinary and make it completely dry and unlistenable.

And in the case of radio Lab's"Time", the exact opposite is true.
Jad Abumrad & Robert Krulwich take the listener on a aural exploration of time, full of insightful observations from authors, scientists, and grand theories.

It's a fun hour packed with new and old revelations on time.
Take some time and play this hour for you listeners one weekday evening, but be careful, once they hear Radio Lab, they may want more.
