Let's be real—details are annoying. Whether you're a big-picture thinker drowning in the small stuff or a perfectionist obsessing over minutiae, details have a way of either overwhelming us or holding us back. In this episode, I break down why we resist details, how to work with them instead of against them, and why they're secretly the key to success.Using personal stories (and a fascinating case study on Jad Abumrad from Radiolab), I explore how perfectionism, procrastination, and decision fatigue make details feel impossible—and the practical hacks that help us push through. If you've ever felt stuck between chaos and control, this episode is for you.More BZ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stay in The Loop⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: @thebzchannel Twitter: @thebzchannel LinkedIn: @nbzcoaching ​  WAYS TO WORK WITH ME The Anti-Business School - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nicolebz.kartra.com/page/theantibusinessschool⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join the Psychic Profits Squad - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nicolebz.kartra.com/page/psychic-profit-squad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your Exit Strategy Workbook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nicolebz.kartra.com/page/your-exit-strategy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Love Your Workshop - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nicolebz.kartra.com/page/love-your-work⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The People Pleaser's Guide to Building Better Boundaries - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nicolebz.kartra.com/page/build-better-boundaries⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Credits Production: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shannon Kuehl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cover Art: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beau Stanton⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Artist: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Amanda No⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Micky Four⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Jad Abumrad is the founder of the smash hit public radio show and podcast Radiolab. Radiolab exploded what narrative audio could sound like. Jad and his co-host Robert Krulwich made a show that was smart, and fast-paced, with incredibly detailed sound design. As much musical composition as it is journalism. At first, Radiolab brought us fascinating human stories and insights from researchers, mainly about science. How the world works. How our bodies work. Listeners often left with feeling of wonder. At a certain point, Jad shifted his focus to society and politics. He started a spin-off series on the Supreme Court, called More Perfect. Then, in 2019, he did a series called Dolly Parton's America, which asks the question – in a time of incredibly political division, what is one thing we can all get excited about? Dolly is the answer. Along the way he won a MacArthur Genius Award, and the show won two Peabody Awards. He also built a team of some of the best radio makers in the business, and when he handed off the reins in 2022, the show could go on, and continue to evolve. Jad is coming to the Indiana University campus as a Patten Lecturer next week, we had a chance to talk before his visit. Jad has said that by the end of his time at Radiolab, he felt like he was doing interviews, preparing, having done all his research, and they weren't clicking. He wasn't getting to that natural chemistry. So he started interviewing interviewers. Not just journalists. Therapists. Conflict mediators. Salespeople. And he learned some things. That's what we talk about here.

The definition of life is in flux, complexity is overrated, and humans are shrinking. Viruses are supposed to be sleek, pared-down, dead-eyed machines. But when one microbiologist stumbled upon a GIANT virus, hundreds of times bigger than any seen before, all that went out the window.  The discovery opened the door not only to a new cast of microscopic characters with names like Mimivirus, Mamavirus, and Megavirus, but also to basic questions: How did we miss these until now? Have they been around since the beginning? What if evolution could go … backwards? In this episode from 2015,  join former co-hosts Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich as they grill Radiolab regular Carl Zimmer on these paradoxical viruses – they're so big that they can get their own viruses! - and what they can tell us about the nature of life.  Our newsletter comes out every Wednesday.

MacArthur Fellow, Peabody Award winner, iconic public radio host and creator of one of the most successful shows, Radiolab—Jad Abumrad joins a studio audience in New York for the Design Matters live tour.

Latif Nasser is the current co-host of the WNYC show Radiolab. Radiolab is probably the first podcast I was ever really a fan of. I've been listening since 2007 when it was hosted by Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich. It's an amazing show that leans on the incredible audio production to convey the wonder of science. The show has branched out to tell all kinds of stories--not just about science--but it's still one of the best science shows out there.Latif came to Radiolab while working on his Ph.D. in the History of Science at Harvard. He eventually joined the show's team to report stories and occupy the role of Director of Research. In 2020, he joined Lulu Miller as co-host of the show. Also in 2020, he hosted a 6-episode show for Netflix: Connected: The Hidden Science of Everything. And I think I first really learned about Latif through an incredible (although not super science-y) series he produced, The Other Latif. Seriously, you have to check it out.In our conversation, we talk about the philosophy of science communication, the role of narrative, and how Radiolab works. We also break down an episode that Latif reported in 2021, "Of Bombs and Butterflies."You can find the rest of this summer's science communication podcast series here.For a transcript of this episode, visit this episode's page at: http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/episodes/Learn more about Opinion Science at http://opinionsciencepodcast.com/ and follow @OpinionSciPod on Twitter.

This week, we revisit one of the most important Supreme Court cases you've probably never heard of: Baker v. Carr, a redistricting case from the 1960s, which challenged the justices to consider what might happen if they stepped into the world of electoral politics. It's a case so stressful that it pushed one justice to a nervous breakdown, put another justice in the hospital, brought a boiling feud to a head, and changed the course of the Supreme Court — and the nation — forever. Voices in the episode include: • Tara Grove — More Perfect legal advisor, University of Texas at Austin law professor • Guy-Uriel Charles — Harvard law professor • Louis Michael Seidman — Georgetown law school professor • Sam Issacharoff — NYU law school professor • Craig A. Smith — PennWest California humanities professor and Charles Whittaker's biographer • J. Douglas Smith — Author of "On Democracy's Doorstep" • Alan Kohn — Former Supreme Court clerk for Charles Whittaker (1957 term) • Kent Whittaker — Charles Whittaker's son • Kate Whittaker — Charles Whittaker's granddaughter Learn more: • 1962: Baker v. Carr • 2000: Bush v. Gore • 2016: Evenwel v. Abbott Music in this episode by Gyan Riley, Alex Overington, David Herman, Tobin Low and Jad Abumrad.   Archival interviews with Justice William O. Douglas come from the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections at Princeton University Library.

What makes a good podcast host? That's a question many of us ask! What gives a Podcast its "hostiness" and makes you want to come back for more again and again?“There's almost nothing about hosting and really by implication producing and that, that quality – I did not coin the term 'hostiness,' that comes from I believe PRX many years ago – but it's, it's this ineffable quality that makes us go 'oh, I love listening to Ira Glass,' or Jad Abumrad of Radio Lab, or Anna Sale, or Brené Brown, or whoever we connect with, and different people obviously connect with different hosts. But what is that makes us connect?”-- Elaine Appleton GrantMy next guest has actually been on this podcast before. She's an award-winning journalist, audio producer, and on-air talent who worked for three NPR affiliates before founding Podcast Allies, LLC in 2019. She hosts the podcast Sound Judgment, a master study in great podcast hosting, and I'm certainly honored to have her here. In fact, you might have heard her review of this podcast read out on a recent show. Her show features today's best hosts, and producers, including Glynn Washington, host of Snap Judgment, John Barth, founding producer of Marketplace, Ann Bogel of What Should I Read Next, and Stephanie Wittels Wachs of Last Day. Her production company, Podcast Allies, develops narrative and conversation podcasts for social impact organizations, such as the Environmental Defense Fund and the American Academy of Pediatrics, so her background in audio is pretty extensive.Her name is Elaine Appleton Grant, and I'm looking forward to getting her take on what she feels makes a good podcast and a great host. With all the interesting people she's interviewed, she's bound to have a very informed opinion.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

I would so appreciate that. The Voice of GodAs we start the episode off, the discussion turns straight to podcasting, its storytelling strengths, and the powerful role it plays in audio branding. We talk about her work with John Barth, developer of the famous Moth Radio Hour, and Elaine and I discuss audio trends in everything from television commercials to movie trailers, and how modern audiences have outgrown the classic "voice of God" Hollywood voice-overs. As Elaine puts it, "it's like the end of the newscaster voice." Ways to Get AttentionOur conversation continues with a look at how multi-tasking and our always-on-the-go lifestyle have changed the tone and purpose of advertising. "We're all trying to find ways to get attention," she says. "There are effective ways, there are good ways, there are ways with integrity, and there are ways that you and I might argue are less so." We talk about how this very podcast got its start and the audio trends, both good and not-so-good, that helped inspire its focus on sonic branding. An Ineffable QualityElaine tells us about the start of her podcast Sound Judgment and her search for the true meaning of “hostiness,” a word she borrowed from Jay Bear to describe that perfect chemistry with a host that brings the...

On today's episode we check in with Jad Abumrad, creator and former host of Radiolab. Growing up in Nashville, he was eager to get away. But his podcast journey led him back to the south when he created the podcast Dolly Parton's America. And now Abumrad is working with Vanderbilt on the new Podcast Institute.

The first thing David wants to talk about how amazing Dolly Parton is, how he's heard more amazing things that she's done in the last six months and it blows his mind.. Isabelle references the podcast Dolly Parton's America, about how Jad Abumrad's (of Radiolab's) dad befriended Dolly Parton, and just how beloved she is and why that might be. David names Imagination Library, which gives free books to kids 5 and under every month to encourage literacy, because her own dad never had a chance to learn how to learn how to read. Isabelle really wants to go to Dollywood, and David's partner Robin went, and it was amazing and is like Orlando in the Smokies. The other thing David wants to talk about is norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in ADHD and it's almost a crime we haven't mentioned it before, focusing so much on dopamine. Dopamine is still really important, but both are. Imagine that neurotransmitters are like a light switch, they are on or off (whereas hormones are like a thermostat, you change the temperature and then it slowly brings the body back up to it). Dopamine is the reward or satisfaction feeling, it's sex drugs and rock n' roll, it's raising the stakes and feeling the risk and then doing the thing anyway. For example, as you procrastinate and then do the task, you feel dopamine as you inch closer to getting your task done, because it's giving you the feeling of achievement, but as soon as you're done, the dopamine is gone. As folx with ADHD, we are dopamine deficient, so we're kind of starving for it, it's a little bump we're getting as opposed to a full high of dopamine. David uses the example of researching a knife, and he went down this massive research wormhole, and he buys the knife, and the moment it came, it was like “Yay, it's here.” (Crickets chirping). The shine and newness goes away, and he still likes the life, the handoff in that moment is from dopamine being the lead thing, and then norepinephrine comes in. So if we're hunter-gatherers, the dopamine comes in when you're hunting, as Isabelle points out, it'd be evolutionarily beneficial to have the process be rewarding, and the moment you hunt and then you feel productive, that's norepinephrine kicking in, that feeling of being productive. It connects to motivation, and the thoughts that you have, how you think about things, and Nora, as David calls norepinephrine, is amazing, she is involved with the self-talk in your head, and when there's too much, there is negative self-talk cycles we can get into. Motivation isn't always pleasant, because we can shame ourselves or beat ourselves up. Isabelle names that she thought the I did it feeling is dopamine. It can be hard to get things started or finish them, using the gatherer metaphor, it can be rough getting out to find the berry bush, but then you get the dopamine once you found the bush and are picking the berries, and then again the let down once you've found them all—Isabelle wonders if it's a pleasant feeling, having this norepinephrine trade off? David names it can easily be manipulated by how you think about things. If you feel like you did nothing but brush your teeth today, then that's how you feel. But if you brushed your teeth after just breaking a leg and having food poisoning, you'd feel differently about it, you'd feel so grateful you did the thing—you get the burst from feeling validated. Isabelle keeps clarifying dopamine is the thrill of the hunt or the chase or the online shopping cart building, or researching cutting boards (which synchronicitously with David's knife-researching example, Isabelle is now doing), ends once you order it, is norepinephrine the moment when you've ordered the thing. The dopamine goes down once you've finished the task, it goes away because it makes you want the next thing (it pushes you to seek that reward again), like David ordering all the video games, and only playing with two of the games. Isabelle is still confused: is it the feeling that comes after the thing happens that forces us to pause and reflect on what just happened. It's more complicated than this, so David is being purposefully vague, but it's connected to our perception of productivity, worth, and work. If dopamine is what helped you get through the day, norepinephrine is how do you feel about the day you just did, it's around wins and accomplishments. If dopamine is the lights, norepinephrine is evaluating the light show. David thinks about it in his life, there are some days where he mowed the lawn, went to hardware store, saw a friend, did laundry, “what a productive day!” And then he feels the WOOO that's norepinephrine. Dopamine is really connected with being distracted by auditory outside things, whereas too much norepinephrine, you are distracted by internal judgments. If you're ruminating a lot, or evaluating what you just said to the friend, replaying your day a lot, that's norepinephrine, and if you have too much it can get you caught in that. Our brains have a solid negativity bias, we pay more attention to doubt, fear, uncertainty, and if we're ruminating and analyzing a lot, it would be a set up to be negative. Norepinephrine is what we practice: if we're very practiced in feeling anxiety, we would be reinforced to anxiously review the things. The practice when you don't need it for it to actually happen when you do, you have to make it a reflex, it would be take too much energy. David uses the example when driving, he sees a car swerving in front of him, he practices thinking they have to go to the bathroom, or they have an emergency, that's why they're driving so wildly, as opposed to thinking they are awful people, because he truly does not have data in either direction.All the Dolly Parton thingsJad Abumrad and Shima Oliaee's podcast: Dolly Parton's AmericaDolly Parton's ties to Moderna Vaccine (she gave $1M to Vanderbilt, which helped fund three pandemic-related research projects including the one that helped develop the Moderna vaccine; source NPR)  Dolly Parton's Imagination LibraryDollywoodOur brain's negativity bias and interview with one of the people who researches this and wrote a book on it (article from Berkeley's Greater Good magazine)DAVID'S DEFINITIONS Dopamine deficiency? ADHD is often understood as neurobiological (brain) difference, that includes lower levels of dopamine, the neurotransmitter (messenger chemical) in our brain that gives us feelings of satisfaction and reward—the feeling of YOU ARE DOING IT… Another way of viewing it is a neurotypical person has a shot-glass-sized need for dopamine and so little bits of dopamine fill it up enough to feel that satiation, whereas a person with ADHD has a pint-glass-sized need for dopamine. At times, you need a lot more dopamine and are starving for it, but at other times, you have so much dopamine it is so rewarding (and perhaps the reward feeling while eating that doughnut is actually that much greater), but it also makes it even harder to pull away or transition from getting that dopamine to not (imagine how hard it is to not keep watching a show you love or how it would feel if someone suddenly unplugged the tv). Keep in mind that dopamine is just one of the neurotransmitters doing some fun other stuff where ADHD is concerned.Neurotransmitters: a messenger chemical in the brain, there are tons of them, most currently talked about include serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, that work like a lightswitch, they are either on or off.  Dopamine: gives you feelings of satisfaction and reward (the feeling of YOU'RE DOING IT!), sex, drugs, rock n' roll, raising the stakes and making things riskier can release dopamine as you do the task anyway (like as you procrastinate and feel the relief of getting the thing you've procrastinated done). As soon as you finish the task, dopamine is done: the dopamine is generated in doing the task and anticipating the task.  It's the lights. Norepinephrine: Once a task is done, this kicks in with that “I was productive” or “not” feeling. It connects to motivation, the sense you DID the thing. It can be easily manipulated by the way you think about things, so it's not inherently a pleasant or unpleasant feeling, it's just coming in to help you pause and slow down and evaluate (and it is more complicated than that) and how you use it can be up to you a bit. Our perception of productivity, worth, and work.  It's evaluating the light show. -----Cover Art by: Sol VázquezTechnical Support by: Bobby Richards—————

Runner Up in the Undergraduate Category of the 2022 Excellence in Podcasting CompetitionMiami, Florida is at the epicenter of many discussions about rising sea levels caused by climate change, but we rarely get to hear from the individuals displaced by it. In this short episode, Emily Irigoyen paints a vivid picture of a city inundated by floods and the state's continued denial of the grim reality faced by thousands of citizens.“Using very short pull quotes is very much a thing that could work well in print but in podcasting, which privileges the human voice, it doesn't work quite as well.” - Jad Abumrad on the limitations of using short interview clips in podcasting“One of the big debates you have in a story meeting is, ‘is this a topic or a story?' and this particular piece is very much a topic [that] has story-shaped elements…There's an opportunity here to go a little bit deeper into any one of the chapter-lets to let me see and feel and hear and taste and smell the experiences being described rather than to keep hopping around.”- Jad Abumrad on how to turn a topic into a storyVandyVox was created by Derek Bruff and is managed by Jad Abumrad. The fifth season is hosted by Abhinav Krishnan and produced in collaboration with Vanderbilt Student Communications and the Center for Excellence in Teaching.

Join us for our third episode which features guest Jad Abumrad. In this episode, our hosts unearth the practice of active listening and the nuances that come with listening and communicating.

Back in 2002, Jad Abumrad started Radiolab as a live radio show. He DJ'd out into the ether and 20 years later we do the same. To commemorate the 20-year anniversary of the show, the Radiolab team went old school and took over WNYC Radio, went live on the FM band. We answered the phones, played some wonderfully weird audio, including one piece where Kurt Vonnegut, yes that Kurt Vonnegut, interviews the dead, took part in some games and tomfoolery, and did everything we could to have and to share in our good time.

The 2022 Audio Vanguard Award was awarded to Jad Abumrad, creator of 'Radiolab.' In this interview with Anna Sale (creator and host of ​Death, Sex & Money​) we celebrate Abumrad's remarkable career. Hear all about the early years of Radiolab, and how Jad and his team navigated creative challenges and transitions to make one of the most well known audio programs of our day.At the end of the interview, cake was distributed to the audience, who stood to sing "Happy Birthday" to Radiolab on the occasion of its 20th anniversary. Mentioned in this episode:The First RadiolabOn the Media with Brooke GladstoneThis American LifeNPR NewsRobert Krulwich, former Radiolab co-hostEllen Horne, former Radiolab producerMore Perfect, a Radiolab spinoffAdoptive Couple v.

Horror, fashion, and the end of the world … In this episode, first aired in 2014, but maybe even more relevant today, things get weird as we explore the undercurrents of thought that link nihilists, beard-stroking philosophers, Jay-Z, and True Detective. Today on Radiolab, a puzzle. Jad's brother-in-law wrote a book called 'In The Dust of This Planet'. It's an academic treatise about the horror humanity feels as we realize that we are nothing but a speck in the universe. For a few years nobody read it. But then … It seemed to show up on True Detective.   Then in a fashion magazine.   And then on Jay-Z's back. How?  We talk nihilism with Eugene Thacker & Simon Critchley, leather jackets with June Ambrose, climate change with David Victor, and hope with the father of Transcendental Black Metal - Hunter Hunt Hendrix of the band Liturgy. Also, check out WNYC Studio's On the Media episode Staring into the Abyss, in it Brooke Gladstone and Jad Abumrad continue their discussion of nihilism and its place in history.

The push to unionize Starbucks workers started in Buffalo, New York, with one small group of baristas stepping forward to call for better working conditions at their cafe. Then slowly, one by one, workers at more than 120 Starbucks locations across the country petitioned for union elections at their shops, including here in Denver, where three separate Starbucks are now in the middle of organizing campaigns. Host Bree Davies sits down with two baristas — Jack Janzen and Hannah Mehlman — to hear why they're trying to unionize their Starbucks at Leetsdale and Holly, and how the coffee giant is pushing back.  WE'RE HIRING!

What structural, social, and political shifts do we want to keep with us from these pandemic times? How did we survive the two-hour prohibition of weed and alcohol sales that sent many Denverites running Black Friday-style to their nearest dispensary and liquor store?

Denver Restaurant Week is the perfect occasion for a nice night out without breaking the bank. And that means Frank Bonanno's restaurants have been packed. Along with his wife Jacqueline, he runs a growing empire of restaurants across the city, including the flagship fine dining spot Mizuna and the downtown food hall Denver Milk Market. Host Bree Davies interviewed Bonanno almost exactly one year ago when Mizuna was celebrating its 20-year anniversary under the shadow of a possible sale and demolition. So we invited him back ahead of our one-year anniversary for an update on Mizuna's real estate situation, an explanation of some of the changes he's made during the pandemic, and his thoughts on the future of Denver's dining scene.  Do you want a chance to see Radiolab founder Jad Abumrad at the Paramount Theater on April 17?

Until recently, Justin Murchison wasn't really thinking about buying a home. He was more focused on paying down his credit card debt and taking care of his plants. Then he stumbled upon on opportunity that most young people in Denver only dream about: a path to buying their first home. City Cast Denver host Bree Davies chats with Justin about his journey to homeownership. Plus, we'll hear from Santhosh Ramdoss, vice president of impact investing at Gary Community Ventures. He helped create The Dearfield Fund that made Justin's home purchase possible and he says it could be the key to shrinking Denver's racial home ownership gap.  Wanna know where Gary Community Ventures got that name for their fund — Dearfield? We talked about the historic Black homesteading community with Westword editor Patty Calhoun a few weeks ago, and you can learn even more courtesy of the Colorado Encyclopedia.  Do you want a chance to see Radiolab founder Jad Abumrad at the Paramount Theater on April 17?

Good evening. In this edition:Some more legato bowing, just me and the reverb today. [press play]Ancestry and True SoundsA rad pod, oh my God!Coming to you today from the little black dot in the yellow zone:Thanks for all your notes and calls, we are very ok and totally packed to leave if we need to.Ancestry and True SoundsWho are your ancestors? Are they speaking through you? What are they saying?You might want to say your own thing, you may think you're saying something new.But much of what has been said already bears repeating, things like "keep your shoes clean" and "honor the gods". So find and make your sound, then make sure your message is true. It doesn't have to be original, just true. Most of the time your sound itself is the message, and it is being sent to you every bit as much as through you.Practicing can feel like scanning a radio dial, finding your way through the static. Some of us have just the one little AM thing with mostly talk, others found a shortwave with many frequency bands. Some players sound like they're building themselves a hubble telescope, and more power to them. But we all have to listen and receive something.We don't all have to broadcast, a lifetime of listening and practicing is ok. But when you play for others, make sure it's something you think they need to hear.And you gotta hear this!Dolly Parton's America The story of a legend at the crossroads of America’s culture wars.Hosted by Jad Abumrad (the Radiolab guy)This thing is amazing:“In this intensely divided moment, one of the few things everyone still seems to agree on is Dolly Parton—but why? That simple question leads to a deeply personal, historical, and musical rethinking of one of America’s great icons. Join us for a 9-part journey into the Dollyverse.”I’m three episodes in.
