Used to love this
I subscribed to 3 podcasts initially and this was one of them and I had a rule that continued until 3 days ago. That rule was it didn’t not matter what I was doing or listening to, when a new Radio Lab dropped it was turned on. That’s how important this program was in my life. Then Jad retired. Did he know that all you were going to do is play reruns? I am positive he didn’t. You’ve killed his life’s work by releasing it to syndicated repeats with no clear forward looking new content. I bet if you would have told him this was your plan he would have sought different personnel to replace him. You guys are all great and important cogs in the radio lab wheel but what happened? It’s like you all just gave up.

Truly sad to see what has happened to this show
Used to be a must listen. Has become generic and boring.

Please stop re-releasing episodes!!
Let us go back on our own if we want to listen to old episodes. Clogging up my feed with stuff I’ve already listened to. If there isn’t new content that’s fine just don’t release anything!

Used to love objective Radio Lab…
But sensationalizing Fauci during AIDS epidemic and the current one, made it an easy decision.

Recently changed my Radiolab rating from 5 to 2
Long time lister and big fan - until recently. This new format of very informal conversation between the new hosts sounds like high school students talking to each other at lunch. “And I’m, like, so, like, omg, like, you know what I mean?” No, I don’t. This used to be a cool science program and the stories are still fascinating, but they’re told now in a gossipy and opinionated format that sounds so unprofessional that I forget this is still Radiolab. Nobody can fill Jad and Robert’s shoes - but the current producers should at least follow in the footsteps of the amazing storytelling that made Radiolab so great for so long.

Mel Blanc-comic genius
Thank you for this very fascinating episode about Mel Blanc and his characters, life and brush with death. He was a true genius, and truly the voices of my childhood. We were so fortunate to have him. RIP Mel.

Above and Beyond
Today’s premiere podcast, Radiolab is the best science based storytelling platform available. The group has a unique ability to create wonderful stories and experiences that deal with everyday situations and have a basis in science. Give it a listen and you’ll be hooked and amazed at how entertaining these subjects are.

Knew the transition might be bumpy but…
I gave the new hosts a try. I really wanted it to all go well and that they’d maintain or even elevate what we’ve all come to know and love about radiolab. But nope. Like they’ve like really lost me as like a subscriber and a like hardcore like fan. Their topics, reruns, and takes on things are just not speaking to me.

Changed for the worse
Somehow this show has changed from actual science to social science and race dynamics. Half the episodes released these days are just reruns from when it was good. Please Radio lab, make some new content that’s not about feeling bad for poor people. I already feel bad for them.

Disappointing
This show used to be so amazing and it’s really disappointing since Jad and Robert left. I had been thinking of unsubscribing for a while but last episode on butts was so awful that I finally did it.

Was fantastic but has gone too PC for my taste
Nearly all early episodes were fantastic but they’ve really taken a hard turn toward PC focused narratives. Those topics are fine occasionally and important but it’s rare now to have a purely objective episode without the race/PC theme coming into play. I was excited to listen to their recent butt episode, thinking they had found some obscure butt phd out there. Halfway through I had to turn it off. I came away with 15 minutes about how there isn’t one singular body type. Is that not incredibly obvious? Hit that point and move on to the science. I’m not sure if they’re looking for some shock factor by bringing these subjects up but, for me at least, it’s boring. The team is obviously intelligent and have a great story telling ability but I hope they steer back on course.

Great show to make you think about how you look at the world
I like how this show gets you to think about how you see things without being confrontational

Breathe episode
Hey guys great show love it I’ll be real quick here on the breathe episode at the third interview like there’s no way I can hear what that woman is saying usually you guys paraphrase like what’s the point of not paraphrasing this time I’m not watching TV I can’t read what she say come on man. PSI really hate those 45 seconds of pointless sounds that segue into the next subject why

You never know, and I’m always glad I did!
I never know what to expect, but the quality of the research and storytelling make this possibly the best show ever

Weather
Your team research and presentation (knowledge and enthusiasm) kept me from multitasking - I almost didn’t listen because “I know about weather…” so glad I did anyway. St Petersburg where I lived a middle class lifestyle, was my transplant home for close to 30 years. Poor government management drove me nuts because the driver is and will always be greed. I have been an environmentalist and activist since the ‘70’s and brother, I couldn’t listen to the lies and pretend like other Floridians did. Watching Ian from the Great Lakes area was awful. Your weather “report “ blew me away. Pun intended. Every word. I will watch the movie. Please alert me when is on you tube. Many thanks,Patty Kavanaugh
