The host of Radiolab has that kind of unique and curious mind that lends itself perfectly to audio storytelling. “I choose to examine a paradox: that some of the best stories we do, the best stories I’ve read, the best stories I’ve seen are science stories that make no sense at all,” Krulwich tells EW. Those stories are the ones with no clear answers because the research isn’t complete yet or the question can never be answered. Radiolab, Krulwich says, is about “the difference between knowing something and wondering.” You can explore that difference this weekend at Inside Science with Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich at the Hult Center. Instead of the normal journalism shtick of showing up in front of the camera with every fact laid out and the story complete in the journalist’s mind, “we take up a problem and we meander with it, we actually show you what it’s like in the middle when you don’t know what it’s about and you have arguments about it.” Krulwich adds, “You sometimes ask stupid questions and get corrected, and it’s embarrassing and you laugh a lot because what else can you do?” Attendees can look forward to exploring some deep problems with whales and foxes, Krulwich says, “And then it finishes with a spectacular story about two hawks who are deeply in love it seems, but you can’t really say that about a hawk if you’re not a hawk.” Inside Science with Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich is Saturday, Jan. 21 at 8 pm at the Hult Center’s Silva Concert Hall. $23-$85. — Kelly Kenoyer You’re cordiall y invited Corvall is Culinary Week Top chefs from local restaurants show off their talents for you!
