seize the carp

On my way home from playing tennis with my dad, All Things Considered aired a piece that made my drive home breeze by. Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure? The piece, produced by Robert Kruelwich flows very much like something that would be heard on Radio Lab. This is likely because Kruelwich co-hosts the show. Both this story, and Radio Lab apply such cool and adventurous conventions to their stories that it sometimes catches me off-guard. I'm used to hearing narration...interviewee...ambient sound...narration. Listening to this stuff makes me crave experimentation and tinkering. It makes me smile and think and breathe deliberately. I think our sense of adventure is far from quashed.
