If you (two) Petophile readers out there haven't heard of the radio program Radiolab, which airs on NPR, it is well worth your time to give it a listen. It is, quite frankly, addictive and mind-blowing.
They basically pick a theme, such as words or time, and investigate it from unusual scientific, philosophic and personal perspectives. And it's produced unlike any other radio show you've likely heard before: a style unto itself.
What does all of this have to do with cute kittens? Hold on, keep your pineapple on.
A recent episode is about falling, which one story discusses what researchers discovered in a study about cats falling out of windows. There is also one episode where some humans had an amazing encounter freeing a tangled whale ... so good.
I don't know if Radiolab would approve of the Petophile, but the Petophile approves of Radiolab. Their official T-shirt is even a goat standing on a cow. Way yay.
The program airs on NPR, or subscribe to the podcast here. Check out the blog, too. Come on, do it: Petophiles should be as well-rounded as possible.
