Join Radiolab, the award-winning podcast and radio show from WNYC Studios, as we explore the science of cardiac arrest and how to save a heart in need.
The moment your heart stops pumping blood is the moment you stop being alive. Every minute that passes without intervention exponentially decreases your odds of ever living again. Medicine has made amazing strides in treating heart conditions, but unfortunately, many of our hearts will ultimately stop somewhere out on the street, or in our homes, or in a Starbucks. And the only one who can keep you alive during those crucial first few minutes is a a stranger, a neighbor, your partner, anyone willing to perform CPR. Yet most of us don’t do anything.
Join Radiolab’s Latif Nasser, ER doctor and Radiolab contributor Avir Mitra, TikTok star and cardiac arrest survivor Dr. Glaucomflecken, and cardiac arrest savior Lady Glaucomflecken as we discover the fascinating science of cardiac arrest, hear a true story of cardiac arrest, and hunt down the best place to die (hint: it’s not a hospital). And, with the help of our friends over at the American Red Cross, you, yes you, will learn how to do hands-only CPR!
Accidents and emergencies can happen to anyone, anytime. We encourage everyone to learn first aid, CPR and how to use an AED, so they can act in an emergency. Every second counts, so people need to know what to do until medical help arrives. Consider taking a first aid, CPR and AED course, so you’ll know what to do in an emergency if help is delayed. Visit redcross.org/take-a-class or call 1-800-RED CROSS (800-733-2767) and select the Health and Safety Training prompt to register for a class.

Join Radio Diaries’ Executive Producer Joe Richman and WNYC’s Kai Wright on an audio tour of America’s largest public cemetery and hear some of the stories buried there.
Hart Island is located on an uninhabited strip of land off the Bronx in the Long Island Sound. Since 1869, more than a million people have been buried on Hart Island, including early AIDS patients, unidentified and unclaimed New Yorkers, immigrants, incarcerated people, artists and actors, and, most recently, approximately ten percent of New Yorkers who died of COVID-19.
Many of the people buried on Hart Island are shrouded in anonymity. The island has no headstones or plaques, just numbered markers. In many cases, explanations for how bodies came to be buried there are hard to find. Our series tells the stories of seven people—a man who lived in a city park, a writer, a missing college student, an estranged uncle, a composer, and a father who struggled with addiction—who were buried on Hart Island through a range of circumstances. Some were lost in the system after their deaths, while others had been cut off from family and friends for years. One chose Hart Island as his final resting place. Each story is told by the people who knew them best, some of whom overcame tremendous obstacles to uncover what happened to their loved ones.
The event will feature voices from the series retelling the stories live on stage, as well as music and audio clips from the series. The Unmarked Graveyard explores the ways we think about anonymity in death, and how community, class, and mental health shape what happens after we die.
The Mash-Up Americans are our Fall Artists in Residence and their show "A Guide to A Mash-Up Life: The Ethnic Aisle" is on November 16th. Come join the show!
