I tried a bit of RadioLab (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/) that they mention on This American Life, but they keep talking over each other all the time and its just confusing. Pretty interesting stories though if you haven't checked it out already.

Yea, I love that show. Free itunes download each week. If you have an iPhone, they have a great app too--you get their entire back catalog. I'd also recommend the Moth podcast--it's true stories told to a live audience.

Just listened to "Pool Of Money" from "This American Life" and it was great! Thanks for the suggestion, I'm totally addicted to this radio show, can't believe how good they are at telling interesting stories.

The episodes they did on the financial meltdown are excellent.

The implications here are enormous, as suggested by Radio Lab here: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/radiolab/episodes/2010/04/16/segments/149570. Radio Lab suggests we've reached the limits of human and scientific understanding and use this computer program as an example. The piece also talks about other researchers who have used the program to input biological data, I believe complex DNA and protein interactions (can't re-listen to it right now to confirm for you). The point is that the computer spit out a whole lot of interesting equations ... which were previously unknown to science. No paper can be published on these equations because the way we generated the equations don't fit conventional scientific methods. Fascinating stuff.


Seems like we have reached the first step on the way to the singularity. Go Science!
I can't wait for the time when we fragile meatbags are replaced by silicone and steel.

A good radio cast dealing with memory, several parts, the last of which deals with Clive.
