Radiolab focuses on scientific and philosophical topics in an accessible and light-hearted manner-- and with an unusual and distinctive audio style to illuminate ideas and blend boundaries between science, philosophy and the human experience.

After graduating, he wrote music for films, and reported and produced documentaries for a variety of local and national public radio programs. Krulwich reports for National Public Radio.
