Live Ideas Robert Krulwich and Oliver Sacks

Featuring Robert Krulwich and Oliver Sacks

Robert Krulwich has been chronicling Dr. Sacks and his spellbinding tales across myriad incarnations both on radio (NPR) and television (ABC) since the early eighties, and now more recently on a regular basis on WNYC's award-winning national science program Radiolab which he cohosts with Jad Abumrad. For this special presentation, Krulwich will delve deeply into Sacks' early years.

Robert and Oliver together might be my favorite pairing of people. I love these two so much and miss Oliver Sacks quite a bit. So grateful for his insightful, thought provoking contributions to this mystery of life.

I find it extremely disturbing that this video has only been viewed less than 17, 000 times.

What a lovely hour and a half! I love dr. Sacks and I'm a big Krulz' fan - it's been a more than pleasent surprise to find this interview!

what is that a bottle ofvodka? he initially reaches for water then grabs a flask shaped bottle with no label. i am in no way judging the dr. just confused/interested.

Why does Robert Krulwich sound like he's making fun of Oliver Sacks with every comment and question he makes?? There were some really poignant memories recalled, such as the time Sacks takes a patient for her last wish ride up to Topanga canyon and Krulwich ruins the moment by ridiculing experience. It feels like a roast! Im all for humour but come on! Poor show Robert!! Still, Oliver shines through as the brilliant man he is.

I too find Robert Krulwich's treatment of Oliver throughout this interview insulting and offensive. Truly, he did his best to spoil every moment of this interview as much as he possibly could. Oliver's magnanimity overcame it, but why oh why, should Oliver have been subjected to this treatment? Robert Krulwich is an insensitive goon and possibly also an idiot.

Robert could use some of the good doctor's sensitivity, and not ridicule some of the more precious moments here. Does he seriously think he's being funny??!!
