Radiolab Presents: Viscera
From the bowels of hell, comes an odor of death and decay, a scent that has long been known throughout human history as the sign of doom.
Join us for Radiolab Presents: Viscera. We grab hold of this horrible smell - born of a long-overlooked chemical element - and venture from the hospital room, to the battlefield; from the inside of your head, to the farthest reaches of space, to show you how something we’ve always thought was bad, may in fact be very, very good. Featuring special guest Jennet Conant, Historian and best-selling author (The Great Secret: The Classified Work War II Disaster that Launched the War on Cancer).
