10 Best Podcast Episodes Of 2019

Radiolab is a phenomenon of podcasting. Having been around in some form or fashion since 2012, the Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich-fronted show has hundreds of episodes under its belt, has had several sold out tours, and has a whole host of awards to its name.

Maybe it's because a few Radiolab episodes have felt a little so-so lately, maybe it's because it's still fresh in the memory, but one of the most uniquely interesting podcast episodes of the entire 2019 arrived earlier this month in the form of Radiolab's 'There and Back Again' outing.

Since its inception, Radiolab has always been about going into great detail on issues and questions both big and small. While some of these topics can be world-changing, news-breaking ones, there are other less obvious issues covered - such as 'There and Back Again' pondering what happens to animals that hibernate or migrate for the winter months.

It's such a basic question to think about, yet it's similarly a question that has so much to unpack and dive into. And dive into it, the episode certainly does. This time handled by Jackson Roach alongside Robert, 'There and Back Again' is a great example of what has made Radiolab so popular for nearly two decades.
