ABOUT JAD'S WORK
Jad Abumrad is a radio host and producer whose engaging audio explorations of scientific and philosophical questions captivate listeners and bring to broadcast journalism a distinctive new aesthetic. As co-host and producer of the nationally syndicated program Radiolab, Abumrad employs his background as a composer to orchestrate dialogue, music, and sound effects into compelling documentaries that draw listeners into investigations of otherwise intimidating topics, such as the nature of numbers, the evolution of altruism, or the science of emergent phenomena within ant colonies and other complex systems. As a result of his meticulous editing and conversational approach to interviews with experts, the structure of Radiolab episodes often mimics the scientific process itself, complete with moments of ambiguity, digressions, reversals, and surprising conclusions that evoke in audiences a sense of adventure and recreate the thrill of discovery. One humor- and insight-filled segment, entitled “A Very Lucky Wind,” tackles the subject of stochasticity, or the mathematics of randomness, by following the highly improbable route of a drifting balloon across the south of England. Another episode, “Cities,” examines a formula for predicting the demographic characteristics of cities around the globe by gathering evidence from participants in Dublin, Mumbai, Mexico City, and beyond. With these and many other Radiolab shows, accessible as radio broadcasts and as podcasts, Abumrad is inspiring boundless curiosity within a new generation of listeners and experimenting with sound to find ever more effective and entertaining ways to explain ideas and tell a story.

关于贾德的工作
贾德-阿布姆拉德是一位电台主持人和制作人，他对科学和哲学问题的引人入胜的音频探索吸引了听众，并为广播新闻带来了一种独特的新美学。作为全国联合节目Radiolab的共同主持人和制作人，Abumrad利用他的作曲家背景，将对话、音乐和声音效果编入引人注目的纪录片中，吸引听众对其他令人生畏的主题进行调查，如数字的本质、利他主义的演变或蚂蚁群和其他复杂系统中的突发现象科学。由于他在采访专家时采用了细致的编辑和对话方式，Radiolab节目的结构经常模仿科学过程本身，其中有一些含糊不清的时刻、离题、反转和令人惊讶的结论，唤起了观众的冒险意识，重塑了发现的快感。一个充满幽默感和洞察力的片段，名为 "非常幸运的风"，通过追踪一个漂流气球穿越英格兰南部的极不可能的路线，探讨了随机性或随机性的数学问题。另一集《城市》通过收集都柏林、孟买、墨西哥城等地参与者的证据，研究了预测全球城市人口特征的公式。通过这些和其他许多Radiolab节目，可以通过电台广播和播客的形式获得，Abumrad正在激发新一代听众的无限好奇心，并尝试用声音来寻找更有效和有趣的方式来解释想法和讲述故事。
