List of Radiolab episodes


Radiolab is a radio program broadcast on public radio stations in the United States, and a podcast available internationally, both produced by WNYC. Hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, each episode focuses on a topic of a scientific and philosophical nature, through stories, interviews, and thought experiments.
Radiolab’s broadcast edition airs as an hour-long program each week while the podcast edition releases new episodes of varying lengths on a roughly biweekly schedule. For a few years the Radiolab podcast feed featured a full-length, hour-long episode every six weeks, with two shorter pieces appearing in-between. Many of these shorter pieces would later be packaged into full-length episodes not released on the show's podcast feed, but available through Radiolabs website. In recent years, Radiolab has de-standardized its podcast format, with full-length episodes being compiled almost entirely from previously-released podcast shorts. The program airs in syndication to over 450 NPR affiliates around the country.
Radiolabs first nine seasons comprised five episodes each. Subsequent seasons contained between nine and ten episodes. Season 15 began airing in January 2017. In 2018 the show's seasonal and episode format became obscured when online content moved from radiolab.org to wnycstudios.org.

Before Season 1 (2002–2004)

Before the idea for a show featuring Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, which did not emerge until November 2003, Abumrad produced radio documentaries that featured himself and others. Some of this material has been re-packaged and broadcast under the Radiolab banner.
