A Quote by Jad Abumrad
For some reason, that I can’t really explain, at the beginning of Radiolab, it always felt like life or death. Even though it was just a radio show. Even though no one was listening. And I am not quite sure why… but it may have to do with that radical uncertainty you feel when you are trying to work without a template.

It took me quite a long time to realise that my maleness was cutting off certain areas for Yoko [Ono].
