Radiolab on KBIA!

KBIA is excited to add Radiolab to our schedule. Radiolab is consistently one of the most engaging and enlightening programs on the radio and we’re thrilled to be able to share the new thirteen week season with our listeners.  Every episode of Radiolab is an exciting journey of discovery put together by some of the most innovative and talented people in public radio.  KBIA embraces the spirit of curiosity and exploration that has made Radiolab such a success and we’re confident that our listeners will embrace it as well.  Listen to Radiolab at Noon on Saturdays starting May 12.

About Radiolab:

Radiolab is an experiential investigation that explores themes and ideas through a patchwork of people, sounds, and stories. In each episode, Radiolab experiments with sound and style allowing science to fuse with culture, and information to sound like music. 

Hosted by Jad Abumrad with co-host Robert Krulwich, Radiolab is designed for listeners who demand skepticism but appreciate wonder; who are curious about the world, but also want to be moved and surprised. Radiolab won a Peabody Award in 2011. 

Kyle Felling was born in the rugged northwest Missouri hamlet of St. Joseph (where the Pony Express began and Jesse James ended). Inspired from a young age by the spirit of the early settlers who used St. Joseph as an embarkation point in their journey westward, Kyle developed the heart of an explorer and yearned to leave for adventures of his own. Perhaps as a result of attending John Glenn elementary school, young Kyle dreamed of becoming an astronaut, but was disheartened when someone told him that astronauts had to be good at math. He also considered being a tow truck driver, and like the heroes of his favorite childhood television shows (The A-Team and The Incredible Hulk) he saw himself traveling the country, helping people in trouble and getting into wacky adventures. He still harbors that dream.
