Wash club is a secret society where you get into tumble dryers and go round. Despite the supposed tradition behind the wash club, there have been no past reports about the activity. Members remain ever illusive with many applying to join via text message. Ross Hartnell was sent an article asking if he could explain Wash Club. He decided to pose as one of the new recruits on Monday night at midnight. The group went for a late-night spin in university's 'wet' washing machines. But when they were done it looked like some had died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Back in 2002, Jad Abumrad started Radiolab as a live radio show. He DJ’d out into the ether and 20 years later we do the same. To commemorate the 20-year anniversary of the show, the Radiolab team went old school and took over WNYC Radio, live on the FM band. We answered the phones, played some wonderfully weird audio, including one piece where Kurt Vonnegut—yes, that Kurt Vonnegut—interviews the dead, took part in some games and tomfoolery, and did everything we could to have and to share in our good time.
