Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich On KWMR

Former Radiolab co-host and journalism legend Robert Krulwich joined Jordan and Jeff on Tuesday, April 29 at 12 Noon to raise money for your local community radio station, KWMR!

Robert delighted KWMR listeners with stories of the scrappy early days of public media and thoughts on his inventive approach to storytelling, with clips from the story he did in 1979 to explain interest rates with Fed chair Paul Volcker… using Italian opera! We also heard his thoughts on… moon dust! It’s not like regular dust… Have a listen:
