  Radiolab is one of the most popular and longest-running shows produced by WNYC, with over 2 million weekly listeners across public radio and podcasting.  
  Radiolab is on a curiosity bender. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. A given episode might whirl you through science, legal history, and into the home of someone halfway across the world. The show is known for innovative sound design, smashing information into music. It is hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser. 
  VOLUME 2: TIME 
  “The Secret to a Long Life” - Producer Sindhu Gnanasambandan wants to know how she can live the longest feeling life possible. The answer leads her on a journey to make one week feel like two. And the journey leads her to a whole new answer. 
  “Octomom” - In 2007, Bruce Robison’s robot submarine stumbled across an octopus settling in to brood her eggs. What began as a simple act of motherhood became a heroic feat that has never been equaled by any known species on Earth.  
  “Human vs. Horse” (Radiolab for Kids) - In one of our favorite Radiolab animal episodes of all time, we head to a human vs. horse race in the desert of Arizona. Turns out it has everything to do with what gives us humans … our humanity. Also our butts. 
  “Loops” - Our lives are filled with loops that hurt us, heal us, make us laugh, and, sometimes, leave us wanting more. This hour, Radiolab revisits the strange things that emerge when something happens, then happens again, and again, and again … 
  “The Times They Are a-Changin’” - At the start of a new year we crack open some fossils, peer back into ancient seas, and look up at lunar skies to find that a year is not quite as fixed as we thought it was.

  AI can accelerate your work, but it can also quietly flatten your attention, judgment, and original voice.

  Designed for managers, writers, consultants, analysts, creators, and other knowledge workers, Harder to Flatten provides an accessible framework for working faster where appropriate while protecting the human abilities that matter most.

  Goldeneye 007

  Bond—James Bond. In the 80s and 90s, the debonair superspy's games failed to live up to the giddy thrills of his films. That all changed when British studio Rare unleashed GoldenEye 007 in 1997. In basements and college dorms across the world, friends bumped shoulders while shooting, knifing, exploding, and slapping each other's digital faces in the Nintendo 64 game that would redefine the modern first-person shooter genre and become the most badass party game of its generation. 
   
   
    
  But GoldenEye's success was far from a sure thing. For years of development, GoldenEye's team of rookie developers were shooting in the dark with no sense of what the N64 or its controller would be like, and the game's relentless violence horrified higher-ups at squeaky clean Nintendo. As development lagged far behind the debut of the tie-in film GoldenEye, the game nearly came out an entire Bond movie too late. 
   
   
    
  Through extensive interviews with GoldenEye's creators, writer and scholar Alyse Knorr traces the story of how this unlikely licensed game reinvigorated a franchise and a genre. Learn all the stories behind how this iconic title was developed, and why GoldenEye 007 has continued to kick the living daylights out of every other Bond game since.
