At Radio Lab, we love nothing more than nerding out about science, neuroscience, chemistry.

But, but we do also like to get into other kinds of stories, stories about policing, or politics, country music, hockey, sex, of bugs.

Regardless of whether we're looking at science or not science, we bring a rigorous curiosity to get you the answers.

And hopefully make you see the world anew.

Radio Lab, adventures on the edge of what we think we know.

Wherever you get your podcast.

Welcome to Forum. I'm Mina Kim.

The dog, writes poet Billy Collins, moves through the world

unencumbered with, quote, nothing but her brown coat and her modest blue collar. In a new

poetry collection, the former U.S. Poet laureate turns his gaze toward the quiet wisdom of our

canine friends. Their reminders to slow down, pay attention, or let the ordinary become radiant.

Collins' new collection of poems is called Dog Show.

What has a dog shown you?

surprisingly profound?
