Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

marketplace sucks but kai has a strangely attractive voice and i'd let him gently caress me

radiolab is overproduced but can be interesting, and is infinitely better than prarie home companion and the other weekend garbage

yeah Kai has a very attractive voice tho the actual substance of marketplace is terrible and not sure who the target demographic for that is.

radiolabs tells interesting stories like Typhoid Mary or AIDS patient zero but god drat the sound production is awful. Bzzzzz bring bass badun dish brrrrng brrrrng this is Zzhshshhshshssss radio shhhsjshzofnsjs labs.

Hey This American Life I'm a texas socialist and I'm pretty sure i brokemy pinky toe bone as i touched it in the lnuckle are and im not sure it has even reconnected to anything as i cannot feel a firm connection like i can on the other foot. There is no swelling or pain indeed a sign that there's a problem like balance or infection are not there. This might be a big deal. Do we even need bones? Please PM me for your most insufferable scoop yet. Om kust freeatyling here but i thought id tell you my father incidentally uses bones in the production of custom pigments for his art projects and that his ex wife and my mother (said like that) collects civil war kitsch and has a regiment of custom made jewish confederate soldiers

Mo Rocca is obnoxious, but I haven't heard Bobcat and honestly that surprises me. He's usually very good at the first/co-host role.

I'm not thinking of anything!
Radiolab has good content, but the production values make it horrible for the road and better for like when I'm hungover and trying to get back to sleep when I accidentally wake up too early, after I smoke a joint I'm down with some Radiolab. But it's really annoying when I'm driving.

Prairie Home is awful. This American Life is hit or miss, but when they do a good show it's a GOOD show - that one about the megalomaniacal school janitor is some seriously amazing radio.
