Radio Lab is a radio program broadcast on National Public Radio. Hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich, each hour-long show focuses on a topic of a scientific and philosophical nature, through stories, interviews, and thought experiments. The show attempts to approach broad, difficult topics such as "time" and "morality" in an accessible and light-hearted manner.

Radio Lab is produced by WNYC, a public radio station in New York City. The show is nationally syndicated.

Four seasons of five episodes have been produced; the fourth season was completed in April 2008.^[1]
