“I first started listening to this show on the radio in 1997, I would record it onto cassette off the radio broadcasts and study the stories, and share them with my friends. I was already a radio producer back then, but this was far more creative than anythign else that I'd heard. It made me want to make a show.”

- Jonathan Mitchell, The Truth

Radiolab reimagines science and philosophy as immersive, emotional storytelling—transforming complex ideas into experiences that feel as intuitive as they are intellectually rich. With its signature blend of layered sound design, thoughtful narration, and an infectious sense of curiosity, the show invites listeners to explore the unknown not as experts, but as fellow wonderers. Its pioneering audio aesthetic and commitment to asking big, often unanswerable questions have made it a defining force in modern podcasting, expanding the possibilities of what nonfiction audio can be: rigorous yet playful, precise yet poetic, always reaching for something just beyond the edge of understanding.
