The Making of a Radiolab Episode


Tested: American Hipster Presents (if you can forgive its name) is a web documentary series that visits 10 cities across the country to spotlight interesting trends in urban and digital culture. This episode is about WNYC's Radiolab, the popular radio program/podcast/live show that is often associated with its distinctive audio editing and production style. It's a really neat look at how Radiolab hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich work with their team of producers to record and edit the program, and an inspiration to podcasters everywhere.

So wonderful to see the behind the scenes of a radio show. I find it so interesting that in society's current search for nostalgia, we are bringing back antiquated forms of art- radio shows. I think there is a certain quality in these programs that cannot be achieved by any other medium. Perhaps it lies in its accessibility, you can listen anywhere, while driving, walking, etc.
