Words - Radiolab
It’s almost impossible to imagine a world without words. But in this hour of Radiolab, we try to do just that.
We meet a woman who taught a 27-year-old man the first words of his life, hear a firsthand account of what it feels like to have the language center of your brain wiped out by a stroke, and retrace the birth of a brand new language 30 years ago.

Great idea… Go 8tracks!
Just added a new feature to mix creation - track annotations.
Now you can append each track with some words on why you chose it, what it means, why it’s important, or anything else you might want to add.
Enjoy, and let us know what you think.

“There were differences between the groups.” Woo boy.
“This finding seemed to imply that natural selection favored innately aggressive, warlike men in human pre-history.”
Uh-oh. That’ll teach me to keep nothing but books about war and murder on my desk.

The process is simple. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Applying a combination of logic and instinct, I then paint the image as realistically as I can. My medium is mixed—primarily acrylic, airbrush, and colored pencil.
