Explorers
The Radiolab Explorer appears on the homepage and in the right tab in the pop-out player. Sort and scroll through all of Radiolab to find your favorite gut-wrenching, heart-swelling, knee-slapping, and mind-bending pieces.
The Listen (triangle) and Add (plus sign) buttons put the file on My Playlist in the right half of the pop-out player window. Listen puts the audio file at the top of your playlist and immediately begins to play it. Add puts the audio file at the bottom of your playlist so you can listen to it later.
Toggle the Play and Pause buttons to start and stop the audio or pick up where you left off. Adjust the Volume by clicking on the incline next to the speaker icon. If the audio is available for download, you can Download the MP3 file and import it into your own media software or portable MP3 player.

Browser Compatability
To use the Radiolab audio player, you need Flash (version 7 or later) available for download on Mac or PC. You may need to adjust the pop-up blocker on your browser to allow the pop-up version of the audio player to work. We recommend that you use current versions of web browser software; we do not support all older versions of some browsers.
