Hello, Chris Duffy here.
We are still on summer break here at how to be a better human.
But as always, we don't want to leave you hanging.
So I want to share a new podcast from the Ted audio collective here with you.
It's a show that I find extremely important and extremely interesting, which is a great combo.
I mean, one of the top combos there is, if you're going to get two things, extremely important and extremely interesting.
Very good.
This show is called Ted Climate.
It can be a little daunting to dive into the climate crisis, I think.
I mean, I certainly feel like that, but this show does it so well in a way that's not just informative, but also genuinely entertaining and fascinating.
I think that you are going to love it.
And if you do love it, you can hear more episodes of Ted Climate wherever you're listening to this.
Were going to have that episode for you in just a moment, right after this quick ad at Radiolab.
We love nothing more than nerding out about science, neuroscience, chemistry.
But.
But we do also like to get into other kinds of stories, stories about policing or politics, country music, hockey, sex of bugs.
Regardless of whether were looking at science or not science, we bring a rigorous curiosity to get you the answers and.
Hopefully make you see the world anew.
Radiolab adventures on the edge of what what we think we know.
