Radiolab: Patient Zero


You can listen to music during workouts, but why not use that hour to learn something?

I’m a fan of Radiolab, a podcast created by the folks at WNYC and NPR. In this episode Jad and Robert trace the origins of typhoid outbreaks, AIDS, and ideas.

The last third of this hour is okay, but the segment on how AIDS made the jump from animals to humans is flat-out fascinating. And, if you like this installment, chances are you’ll find dozens more to enjoy on their web site.

I recommend you exercise your brain while exercising your body.
