Radio Lab, probably the smartest science show on the radio,---no offense Science Friday, but there is no contest here---aired a show devoted to "Numbers" in October, but I only caught the podcast recently. It's worth a listen.

But even more exciting: the show succeeds in making mathrelevent crucial to humanity and culture. We see math as the catalyst of friendship, math in the midst of a detective story (Benford's Law!), and math as potentially a human imperative.

Thanks for turning me onto this, Dan. Scratch through all the layers of history and postgraduate education, and you'll find me at heart to be a mathematician.
