RadiÂoÂLab, a sciÂence radio show creÂatÂed by WNYC in New York, is a litÂtle unusuÂal for a pubÂlic radio show. It comes out in short seaÂsons of about five episodes. Each episode addressÂes a parÂticÂuÂlar quesÂtion in sciÂence through a wide lens–I found their most recentÂly podÂcast show, on MoralÂiÂty, to be parÂticÂuÂlarÂly fasÂciÂnatÂing. We’re adding the new show to our colÂlecÂtion of SciÂence PodÂcasts. Check it out for yourÂself!

I haven’t checked out this podÂcast but the subÂject of their most recent show remindÂed me of an excelÂlent BBC radio proÂgram called The Moral Maze. It’s usuÂalÂly a provocaÂtive but intelÂliÂgent disÂcusÂsion and, although they often invite varÂiÂous reliÂgious perÂspecÂtives to weigh in, no one gets away with a poorÂly reaÂsoned arguÂment.
Thanks, Scott! I lisÂtened to one of these–I realÂly like the debate style of the show. I wish the BBC would proÂvide more shows as podÂcasts. The RealAuÂdio streamÂing is such a pain.
