Radiolab is a Peabody-award-winning show about curiosity. Where sound illuminates ideas, and the boundaries blur between science, philosophy, and the human experience.

Radiolab Mixtape, a special 4 part series featuring the impact of the cassette tape.

Radiolab Mixtape 4 Help? Stories of cassette tapes as peculiar helpers, self-help, village history and lost love.

Three stories: first, a tale of how the cassette tape supercharged the self-help industry. Second, cassettes filled with history make an epic journey across Africa with a group of Lost Boys. And finally, Simon meets up with fellow Radiolabber David Gebel to dig through an old box of mixtapes and rediscover the unique power of these bygone love letters.

Radiolab Mixtape was reported, produced, scored and sound designed by Simon Adler.
