A local holy figure whose corpse was associated with a number of documented miracles. They literally put it, they sort of snuck it in bed with don carlos, and that's how he healed. The king himself, according to some stories, went and they got this corpse out of the church,. They carried it through the streets. There's different reports.

We’re all in a tizzy here at Radiolab on account of our 20-year anniversary. And, as one does upon passing a milestone, we’ve been looking back in all kinds of ways. Two weeks ago, we went out over the airwaves, “Live on your FM dial,” a callback to our origins as a radio show. We revamped our logo and redid our website (get your Freq on, people!). More recently, Lulu's and Latif’s first stories came up in a meeting. They weren’t always the intrepid hosts of our collective journey in wonder. Soren Wheeler, our editor, thought it would be fun to highlight those firsts for you.

So here they are, baby Latif and Lulu, doing their darndest to make audio magic.
