We are celebrating radiolabs twentieth anniversary to day. 20 years ago when jad started the show, it broadcast live. He played dio from people he admired. We're doing that to night too. Time now for another short story that we love. This one is called, Are you a member of wash club? And it was originally broadcast on the b b c radio for show short cuts. U, thanks for everyone who called in. That yodling was previously recorded by lulu and myself.
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.
