second impact [2023-12-17]

As I make a donation to the impactful QSAC, I had come across this short, beautifully shot, and important story told by an individual with autism. This is the kind of story telling I think more folks need to see.


I’m pretty it was in 2023 that I really found myself wanting to fall down the Radiolab archive rabbit hole. Having consumed all those episodes available on the podcast RSS feed provided to supporting members, I started to question whether those were really all the episodes.

Sure enough, I’d learned that there was far more to listen to in the oddly silo’d off Radiolab Classic feed. But even that wasn’t the full history of all things Radiolab. The RC feed I believe only went back as far as 2007, and Radiolab had it’s first “season” back in 2005. And there were episodes that predate Radiolab proper — back when the show was very experimental sounding, and was composed of seemingly regular WNYC/NPR episodes.

Thankfully, some fine independent archivists have done their best to collect all the possible episodes and some additional materials.

And so, I’m at ground zero, and working my through. I’m hyped.


The result of having listened to one of these archived episodes is I’m picking up listening to some Blues. Starting with…

Listen to some Ambassador Satch.
