Jad Abumrad is the host and creator of Radiolab, a public radio program broadcast on 524 stations and downloaded 9 million + times a month as a podcast. He employs his dual backgrounds as composer and journalist to create "a new aesthetic" in broadcast journalism. Using dialogue, music, interviews, and sound effects, he creates compelling documentaries that draw listeners into otherwise intimidating topics—the nature of numbers, the evolution of altruism, or the legal foundation for the war on terror. In 2011, Radiolab was awarded the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award, and Abumrad was honored as a MacArthur Fellow. Gut Churn is his solo multimedia exploration probing the role of uncertainty, fear, and other emotions in the creative process.
