Radiolab goes behind the seemingly rational, impersonal world of numbers into a world of attuned feelings.

It’s hard to think of anything more rational, more logical and impersonal than a number. But what if we’re all, universally, also deeply attuned to how numbers … feel?

Why 2 is warm, 7 is strong and 11 is downright mystical. Then, we use one number that could maybe, possibly, break math--and reality--as we know it.

The Radiolab team investigate a strange world.

With Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich.

Radiolab is a Peabody-award winning show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and the human experience.

From WNYC. First broadcast on public radio in the USA in 2024.
