Breath | Radiolab Podcast

From the Radiolab podcast: A series of stories about first breaths, last breaths and all the breaths in between. We’ve just barely made it to the other side of a year that took our collective breaths away. So more than ever we felt that this was the time to go deep on life’s rhythmic dance partner. We huff and we puff through a whole stack of stories about breath and breathing. We talk to scientists, musicians, activists and breath mint experts, and try to climb into the very center of this thing we all do and are all doing right now, and now, and now. This episode was reported and produced by Annie McEwen, Matt Kielty and Molly Webster. Featured guests include: Rishi Desai, a pediatric infectious disease doctor; Mark Krasnow, professor of biochemistry at Stanford University; Justin Hansford, a law professor at Howard University; Anna Feigenbaum, an associate professor of digital media and communication at Bournemouth University; Marcia Mogelonsky, director of insight at Mintel Food and Drink; Alice Wong, a disabled activist, writer and all-around troublemaker; Mosi Secret, a journalist; students from the Brooklyn Music School; the return of Robert Krulwich, retired Radiolab co-host; Annie Brown, an audio producer at The New York Times; and archival clips of Funkmaster Flex, a DJ; and rapper Black Thought.
