Lost & Found | Radiolab Podcast

From the Radiolab podcast: We steer our way through a series of stories about getting lost, and ask how our brains, and our hearts, help us find our way back home.

After hearing about a little girl who gets lost in front of her own house, Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich wonder how we find our way in the world. We meet a woman who has spent her entire life getting lost, and find out how our brains make maps of the world around us. We go to Fort Monmouth in New Jersey to learn about some amazing feats of navigational wizardry, and are introduced to a group of people in Australia with impeccable orientation. Finally, we turn to a very different kind of lost and found: a love story about running into a terrifying, and unexpected, fork in the road.
