Starting a conversation with a stranger is difficult. Especially when that stranger is, well, completely different. He won’t share your habits, celebrate your holidays, watch your TV shows, or even speak your language. Plus he has a blowhole.
The episode, which first aired in the summer of 2014, attempts to make contact with some of our tiny planet’s strangest strangers: dolphins. Producer Lynn Levy eavesdrops on conversations between humans and dolphins from a studio apartment in the Virgin Islands to a research vessel in the Bermuda Triangle.
We have some fun news! In the “Zoozve” episode, Radiolab named the first-ever quasi-moon. Now it’s your turn. Radiolab, in collaboration with the International Astronomical Union, has launched a global naming contest for one of Earth’s quasi-satellites. This is your chance to make your mark in heaven.
