Radiolab is on a curiosity bender. We ask deep questions and use investigative journalism to get the answers. An episode might whirl you through science, legal history, and into the home of someone halfway across the world.

After completing a degree in biology, Molly pursued science journalism, writing for outlets such as Scientific American and National Geographic Adventure. Her ability to comprehend and totally immerse herself in complicated issues has helped Radiolab investigate international surrogacy, the price of a human life and an unexpected piece of ancient pottery. She has adapted her audio and written work for the stage, performing at venues ranging from BAM to TED. A frequent guest host on Radiolab, she developed, produced and hosted our first-ever special series, Gonads — a critically acclaimed podcast and live event series about the parts of us that make more of us.

Programming
The Cascade PBS Ideas Festival offers a program that provides a spectrum of viewpoints, experiences and affiliations, and welcomes members of many communities. As a public media organization, we are responsible to act as a neutral mediator. We believe that the best way to bridge our divides is to hear from people with whom we might disagree, and to ask each other hard questions.
