I should quite.

You're listening to Radio Lab.

The podcast.

From New York Public Radio.

Public Radio.

W. N.Y.C.

And NPR.

Hello, I'm Chad Avumrod.

I'm Robert Crilwich.

This is Radio Lab, the podcast.

Not the regular broadcast.

We say that all the time, you know, because we want to do the regular broadcast, and we will, coming up in a few weeks now. And we want to do more podcasts. We would love to do about seven times more podcasts and 12 times more radio shows. But we have a really tiny staff. Really tiny. really tiny, shoe string operation.

couple, first year or so, and then really late at night.

And we were just given playtime just to come up with this concept.

us. So we didn't bother them. And then we came and said, here, can we bother you with this?

And they put us on the air and they've given us this place. So. And here we are. This is our way

of asking you to support the station that supports us. Even if you're in Lorraine, Ohio, even if you're in Albuquerque, you know. That's right. You can go to radio lab.org and click support. It would mean a lot to us. Just a little button on our site that says support. So Robert, here we are. You know, we're trying to raise funds here. And we pulled a few emails from our inbox, people who have a relationship with the show.

This is kind of an interesting one. Can I read it to you? Yeah, sure.

Dear Radio Lab, there's a girl here in Chicago that I really like. Her name is Lisa. She's lovely. I think she likes me too.

We started out as friends working in an improv show together,
