the power of words

A stunning film from Will Hoffman and Daniel Mercadante to accompany Radiolab's Words episode. With an original score by Keith Kenniff. So, what is Radiolab? Its a 'show' on WNYC... that's all about ideas and the blurry boundaries between science, philosophy and human experience. Very very clever heady stuff. It's presented in this atmospheric but pacey way. They weave interviews, commentary, sound art and - heaven forbid - a sense on humour into their tales. It's a bit like This American Life but much much better. You can download the corresponding Words episode here
