One of my favorite radio program is WNYC’s Radiolab. A show about science and curiosity, it is radio at its best. They describe it best as: “Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and human experience.” It is broadcasted (somewhat irregularly unfortunately) on KUOW. I subscribe to their podcast and have been known to sit, listening to the show, a long time after my commute has ended.

The latest episode “Guts” is a fascinating exploration of different aspect of digestions. It is truly amazing. The part about the relationship between our intestinal flora and neuroscience is incredible. It will redefine your understanding of “gult feeling”.

Enjoy! It is really worth it.
