As a species, we\u2019re obsessed with names. They\u2019re one of the first labels we get as kids. We name and rename absolutely everything around us. And these names carry our histories, they can open and close our eyes to the world around us, and they drag the weight of expectation and even irony along with them. This week on Radiolab, we\u2019ve got six stories all about names. Horse names, the names of diseases, names for the beginning, and names for the end. Listen to \u201cHello, My Name Is\u201d on Radiolab, wherever you find podcasts.\xa0\nSpecial thanks to\xa0Jim Wright, author of \u201cThe Real James Bond\u201d,\xa0Tad Davis,\xa0Cole delCharco,\xa0Peter Frick-Wright,\xa0Alexa Rose Miller,\xa0Katherine De La Cruz, and Fahima Haque.Members of The Lab, watch for an audio extra on your exclusive feeds, a poem written and read by Mary Szybist, whom Molly Webster interviewed for her story in this episode about endlings.
