IS THE WAY WE ARE THE WAY WE’LL STAY? In a recent episode of Radiolab, titledNewNormal, the hosts explore the ways change occurs and whether we can call all types of change “natural.” From baboon troupes to small towns and (un)natural selection, the hosts explore the existential question of whether or not humans are capable of changing for the better. The episode doesn’t shy away from the nitty gritty drivers behind change, but it also offers hope that positive change is always possible.
