Listen to new and classic episodes of the Radiolab podcast — a show that asks deep questions and uses investigative journalism and innovative sound design to get the answers.
In the summer of 1975, Jaws scared an entire generation out of the water. The film burned an idea into our cultural memory: they are mindless, man-eating monsters. We set out to tell a different story about sharks. Five stories over five days. We tear down deep-seated myths about sharks, plunge into the water with them, and find sharks that explode our sense of what they are – flying sharks, glowing sharks, baby sharks, sharks under attack, and sharks that may save millions of human lives.
In Radiolab’s “Zoozve” episode, we named our first-ever quasi-moon. Now it’s your turn! We're partnering with the International Astronomical Union to launch a global naming contest for a whole new moon, one of Earth’s quasi-moons. Submit one of your own now through September, or vote on a name you like best starting in November. It’s your chance to make your mark on the heavens! More info here: http://www.radiolab.org/moon
