About this episode
This week Jad and Radiolab alum Tim Howard revisit a favorite episode from 2012.
Because moments of total, world-shaking bliss are not easy to come by. Maybe that's what makes them feel so life-altering when they strike. And so worth chasing. This hour: stories of striving, grasping, tripping, and falling for happiness, perfection, and ideals.
With Alexander Gamme, Arika Okrent, Richard Sproat, and Ken Libbrecht.
