About this audiobook

Radiolab invites you to join us on a scientific journey through the body. Our bodies are so complex that many processes can go unnoticed. In this audiobook, not only do we notice, but we explore how our anatomy has shaped the human experience. These five chapters explore your guts, private parts, womb, butt, and brain. We’ll hear stories from scientists, anthropologists, professors, doctors, mothers, fathers, and storytellers. We answer questions like what organ is a baby's best friend and the mother's worst nightmare, what is the evolutionary reason for our butts, and how does your brain know that you, are you?

Editor's Note

A scientific shift…

The human body is a marvel that we’re only just beginning to figure out. Learn why older scientific paradigms, like the use of X and Y chromosomes to determine a person’s sex, may need to shift in the wake of new discoveries. Everything from guts to butts is covered in this anthology from the eclectic podcast “Radiolab.”

Author

Radiolab

Hosted by Lulu Miller and Latif Nasser, Radiolab was created in 2002 by Jad Abumrad as an exploration of science, philosophy, and ethics using innovative composition and sound design. Radiolab has expanded and evolved to become a radio program, podcast, and digital platform for long-form journalism and storytelling. The show challenges its listeners’ preconceived notions about how the world works. Radiolab provokes, it moves, it delights, and it asks its audience to see the world around them anew. Since its founding nearly two decades ago, Radiolab has won some of the most prestigious awards in journalism, including two George Foster Peabody Awards, Third Coast awards, The Silver Gavel, as well as other accolades. The show has spawned successful spinoff series, like More Perfect, Gonads, The Other Latif, G, Border Trilogy, and Terrestrials. For more information, visit radiolab.org.

    Educational and entertaining. Even more amazed by what our bodies do than I used to be.

    Some interesting content but far too much off topic chatter. A lot of commentary between multiple people intended to be cute and funny that I found distracting. It was more like listening to a group science students who decided to broadcast from an open mic at the local comedy club than taking a journey through the human body.

    It was ok just ok I liked it a ton at some parts and didn't want to read anymore at other parts. But if I could go back in time and got to chose to read it or read a different book I would still read this one again.

    Predictable forced woke nonsense ruins otherwise good storytelling. Don't waste your time.
