About this Event
Radiolab senior correspondent Molly Webster has us reexamine the thing right under our feet: grass. It turns out, the unremarkable green stuff all around us has a remarkable story to tell, one of transforming the planet and … us. From the food we eat, to the thoughts we think.
Including live music by foley artist Steven Wendt and storytelling by biologist David George Haskell.
Radiolab is the Peabody Award-winning show that turns deep questions into unforgettable sound, investigating everything from science to legal history to the lives of strangers halfway around the world. Learn more.
