Episode notes

simon adler is a senior producer at radio lab. Each episode requires time and work from so many people. Without you, we would not exist. We have this new membership programme called the lab. You get stuff in ange like exclusive merchandise or invitations to spend time with us. It's a cool, sort of extra way for us to say thank you.

All the world’s a stage. Or, sometimes it feels that way, especially these days. In this episode, originally aired in 2015, we push through the fourth wall, pierce the spandex-ed heart of professional wrestling, and travel 400 years into the past to unmask our obsession with authenticity and our desire to walk the line between reality and fantasy.

Thanks to Nick Hakim for the use of his song "The Light".
