From the Editors
To inaugurate a new feature on TMN we’re calling
TMN Talks, this Friday we’ll be joined by the great
Jad Abumrad, co-host of one of our favorite radio shows,
Radio Lab.
Jad and the whole Radio Lab staff are kicking off their fifth season this week. The first episode will stream on
WNYC’s web site this Friday at 3 p.m. Afterwards, when the episode’s finished, Jad will be dropping by TMN to answer your questions about all things Radio Lab.
So: send us your questions this week (email them to
talk@themorningnews.org) and then tune in here around 4 p.m. on Friday for a talk with Jad. See you then!
