This radio show gave me two correct answers for my Chemical Engineering board exam. SERIOUSLY. I have been an avid listener for almost three years and these guys never fail to entertain, to educate, and most of all, to make me feel more human with each episode. I don't always advertise but hell, if you want to think better, SUBSCRIBE TO THEIR PODCAAASSSSTTTT!!!
Found Radiolab during one of the lowest point of my life 4 yrs ago when I was 17.... don't know why it took so much time to find this. You changed what storytelling was to me. I wish I could do something like this for others.
You can. You can go into broadcasting, or journalism, or theater production. You CAN. Don't wish, you can make it happen. Live your dream. Your entire life is in front of you. Take it from someone who is at the end of her life now. It all goes by so fast.
This is a truly masterful production. Thank you for for making such fascinating, high-quality, informative and well-researched 'entertainment.' This is truly a million cuts above anything else available on radio, televison or the web.
heard the Apocalyptica podcast on Radio 4 Extra (UK) this morning (August 2020) and searched for & found this video- Managed to sync the radio programme to this, so turned down the video sound so I could listen on my radio! Is that weird or what? Now I'm back, watching the whole video. Wonderful music & visuals and Reggie Watts too- and a dinosaur puppet!! And finally being able to see what Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich actually look like too makes it all so special. Thank you Radiolab!!!
These two gentlemen are amazing human beings. This program has repeatedly sent me into dizzying thought spirals where I have to sit alone and think to full comprehend some of the things i've learned from this. Keep up the great work gents, you're making the thirst for REAL knowledge cool again!
Thanks Radiolab for sharing the live show with all of us. I very much wanted to see the show when you came to Cleveland, but I had my own performance that required my presence. I look forward to your continued mind shaping work. Tony Sterns.
I'm only moments into it and blown away, it hadn't occurred to me that I've listened to every Radiolab podcast and had no idea what the hosts looked like. O'd just created an image in my head based on their voices. It took me a few moments to figure out why some guy was speaking with what seemed like "the wrong voice". It's a very strange feeling seeing these guys for the first time.
Recently discovered Radiolab, working my way up from the oldest podcasts. Just finished listening to the audio version of this one, so of course I have to watch the entire thing now. :)
As I live in the UK and have a fear of flying, I get a feeling I will never get to see you guys live, so thank you for posting this online, kept me glued to my computer screen for two hours, something that is very rare. Your stuff is awesome and so inspiring. Keep up the great work :)
brilliant, brilliANT, BRILLIANT show, all; PHENOMENAL SHOW! Wow, I would be in awe seeing this in person. Forget musical concerts. This was mind-bending. The presentation, the effects, the audio, the visual -- all flawless. Immense props given to all involved with this concert. Bravo to all, bravo. And thank you from Sioux Falls, SD.
I've listened to this program for years, but this was the first time I saw a live tour production. It is incredibly stimulating on so many levels - audio, visual, imagination. I learned more about the end of the dinosaurs from this program than I did from any school lesson. Plus - who made those dinosaur costumes!? Very impressed.
i found you guys like a couple of weeks ago and im DEVOURING all the podcast and everything that you guys put out. thank you very much for all this cool content! much love from hungary! :)
Reward your ears and eyes. Feed your brain. Watch as those Radiolab guys paint your ears with sound and make your eyes hear the colour of thought. An eclectic surrealist/impressionistic art in science show.
Many thanks to the Radiolab team for the upload. I'm from Australia so it was wonderful to watch two guys that I've been listening to for quite some time now. As usual brilliant work. Thank you so much!
Radiolab's Apocalyptical show is yet another wonderful podcast from NPR. After listening to it, I had to watch the video, and it was even better. My 13 year old son also enjoyed it, particularly the new version of the end of the dinosaurs. Thanks you so much!
Man! I just heard the audio from this on KPCC last night and was fascinated by it, and now watching the video (and I haven't even seen it all yet) I'm really taken by it. It's a kind of magical combination of the best of what makes live theater special, science, music and oratory, all in one. Really just a marvelous production.
This is absolutely fantastic! It has more than convinced me to attend Radiolab live next time around. I only wish that I could have been there for this!!
The music, i believe is a direct presentation of what your thoughts would sound like when they start to begin bouncing around in your brain. I love that. Its like a soundtrack for my thoughts.
This is an AMAZING Radiolab show... funny, fascinating, even if you've listened to it as radio... it's a must-see. Puppets, comedy, music, and what we've always wondered... what really happened to the dinosaurs?
39:46 I guess that's what sound engineers do. Whatever the object, if it produces the desired sound effect, it's good. That spiky, metallic object there... that's a gardening tool used to rip weeds out or for tilling soil. It's upside down. And yeah, Jad looks like Hank Azaria... not sure if this has been said already.
ImDefinitelyLost About the surviving Archaeopterix: haven't they mentioned some might have survived in the water or beneath the ground? I imagine that's how you can explain that.
the clip you show for the bomb over hiroshima isnt hiroshima. Fat man and Little boy were detonated in midair to maximize fallout. I believe that clip was the Bikini Atoll nuke if im not mistaken. Creative liberty?
And there was an update to the story of the end of the dinosaurs in a recent broadcast, containing more details about the first 15 minutes after the asteroid's impact.

My girlfriend and I were present at this filming! Amazing show. Radiolab is such a wonderful achievement in modern media and storytelling :)
Hey, thats nice. Do you think this was cut down to two hours? Our is this the full ,complete show?
I listened to the audio version and just had to come and see reggie do it live.
These two gentlemen are amazing human beings. This program has repeatedly sent me into dizzying thought spirals where I have to sit alone and think to full comprehend some of the things i've learned from this. Keep up the great work gents, you're making the thirst for REAL knowledge cool again!
This is the best thing I've seen on the internet for a long time
+Shropenstein Right?! Its pretty interesting topic and very well presented and funny too.
What a treat to make this available online! Well worth 2 hours of your time.
Thanks Radiolab for sharing the live show with all of us. I very much wanted to see the show when you came to Cleveland, but I had my own performance that required my presence. I look forward to your continued mind shaping work. Tony Sterns.
I can't believe you made me shed a tear for puppet that's been dead 65 million years (@43:00)

One of the best episodes you made in my opinion! heard of as podcast, wish I saw it first :)
THIS.
IS.
A.
JOY.
Two hours of a cold Shanghai night have just flown by.
Brilliant!
Great show, listen to the audio podcast and had to watch the video version immediately after.
Radio lab Live - Apocalyptical
Awesome show...and I'm still watching
Iv watched this like 5 times since its came out... Love it and your show!
Spectacular! I learned and was entertained at the same time. Great work!
LOVE Radiolab and Planet Money podcasts, very entertaining and informative.
i found you guys like a couple of weeks ago and im DEVOURING all the podcast and everything that you guys put out. thank you very much for all this cool content! much love from hungary! :)
Thanks for sharing this with us, Radiolab, it was a pleasure.

Thank you. This is just incredible. You two are the most amazing people and thank you for putting it together and sharing with us!!!!!

Super, super amazing!!! Thank you, I loved this show
This live performance is just incredible. Really amazing stuff, Radiolab. I wish I could have made it out when you were in Chicago!
50:06 I love this part so much I come back occasionally for the goosebumps.
I need a dvd of this. Absolutely outstanding.
1080p video on TH-cam isn't enough ^-^?
Nope. Plus i had to watch it on my phone. I'd gladly shell out $30 for a physical copy.
Man! I just heard the audio from this on KPCC last night and was fascinated by it, and now watching the video (and I haven't even seen it all yet) I'm really taken by it.

Absolutely amazing! wow... well done!
In case of world destroying asteroids, DIG.
Got it. Thanks Radiolab.
I've only ever heard them! They look exactly how they sound!
Listening to one episode of RadioLab is more effective at teaching than attending a whole semester of even the most interesting class.
This episode is basically everything I love balled up in one thing.
+Paul Hammond Death and dinosaurs?
+Milo Szecket 😂
The podcast of this was great, but the video is incredible! So great! Love you guys at Radiolab! Art + Science = you guys!
This is absolutely fantastic! It has more than convinced me to attend Radiolab live next time around. I only wish that I could have been there for this!!
Absolutely loved this! I'm amazed at the level of coordination this show probably took. Come to Wash. DC!
I found the radio version, it all sounded too grant so I pulled TH-cam up. This is honestly WOW,
I just listened to this podcast today. Absolutely great. Nice work guys
The music, i believe is a direct presentation of what your thoughts would sound like when they start to begin bouncing around in your brain. I love that. Its like a soundtrack for my thoughts.
Beautiful show. Just beautiful.
Truly amazing both scientifically and artistically. Thank you!!
@12:24 is when Jad and Rob actually come on stage.
This is an AMAZING Radiolab show... funny, fascinating, even if you've listened to it as radio... it's a must-see. Puppets, comedy, music, and what we've always wondered... what really happened to the dinosaurs?
LOVE THIS SO MUCH. Repeat watcher. Thank you, Radiolab...
Thank you so much
I saw the show live in toronto. It was awesome!!
Anyone here in 2020 man I love Reggie so sad that robert is no longer with radio lab
I'd love this on a DVD. A great way to contribute too.
This is brilliant
Don’t know why, but some parts of this were EXTREMELY moving.
This should encore in Aruba! Aruba is the best place to end tours. Relax afterwards.
Amazing show! Come to the Edinburgh Fringe!
What a wonderful way to present science! This would be great for high school students.
This is being shared with everyone!? Awesome!
I love Radiolab. And Reggie Watts was amazing!!!!
They literally look exactly as I imagined
thank you!
right!!??
I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, I LOVE IT, iloveitiloveitiloveitiloveit!!!!!!!
So brilliant I have no other words.
Did Jad really manage all the things here? The dialog, the interview cuts, the music? He really did an awesome job!
Sooo. If you find yourself getting a little antsy for the show to begin, skip to 00:12:12
Amazing! Love Radiolab!!!
Jad's reaction to Reggie is perfect. "Did that just happen?"
At 2:18 "You're a wrong number!" That's so funny. I'm going to use that a lot.
39:46 I guess that's what sound engineers do. Whatever the object, if it produces the desired sound effect, it's good. That spiky, metallic object there... that's a gardening tool used to rip weeds out or for tilling soil. It's upside down. And yeah, Jad looks like Hank Azaria... not sure if this has been said already.
I must have listened to every Podcast 3-4 times. It will be good to put faces to some of the protagonist now. Strange but good......I hope.
I'd bet that was a fun gig for the musicians, Like, "Hey, we have the challenge to do the music kinda like Pink Floyd, Ummagumma days". Very trippy.
Also, Reggie Watts is a bad-ass.
... illuminated live radio. Cool, very cool!
I really loved the Wilhelm scream of Technetium and Promethium
I wish they would make a copy of the video for download.
DownloadHelper...
Bravo guys. Loved it.
Fun thing, I actually have a bit of bismuth on my nightstand right next to me.
Just...AWESOME!!
this was awesome, good job guys
Love this! Radiolab Rocks!
At 50:48 magic happens.

About the surviving Archaeopterix: haven't they mentioned some might have survived in the water or beneath the ground? I imagine that's how you can explain that.
I'd say two of them could easily take down a man. They went extinct 150 million years ago, this cataclysm occurred 65 million years ago.
the clip you show for the bomb over hiroshima isnt hiroshima. Fat man and Little boy were detonated in midair to maximize fallout. I believe that clip was the Bikini Atoll nuke if im not mistaken. Creative liberty?
You are totally awesome. This is an amazing show. the end
Entertainers and educators extraordinaire. These people should not need to feed off donations. Fund them publicly guaranteed Congress.
And there was an update to the story of the end of the dinosaurs in a recent broadcast, containing more details about the first 15 minutes after the asteroid's impact.
Ableton Live on the Macbook. Nice.
Isn't that Glenn Kotchke, of Wilco, on drums?
Radiolab, you guys are great!!! Ben from St. Paul, MN
someone please tell me the name of that billy strayhorn song he was imitating. it was in between 69-72 minutes in the video
Poor Robert lost his glasses haha. You could see him looking for them by the end after the dinosaur knocks them off!
Love the cardigan. Jad!
Totally got me. I buy the whole theory.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! When is your next show? Do you do Asia tour?
Loved this show
OK... I totally began to tear up at the 43 minute mark.. sap.
Tinkle Digest is an Indian comic! I grew up reading Tinkle Digest!
omg can i get a sound track to this some where, that section in the middle was fucking unreal!
Can someone please tell me what strayhorn song that was?
