From the Radiolab podcast: Push our buttons and see what happens.

Tiny buttons have such a hold on us. They can be portals to power, freedom, and destruction. Today, with the help of buttons, we tell you about taking charge of the little things in life, about fortunes made and lost, and about the ease with which the world can end.

Confused? Push the button marked Play.
