This episode of TED Radio Hour was produced by Katie Monteleone, James Delahoussaye, Rachel Faulkner White and Fiona Geiran. It was edited by Sanaz Meshkinpour and Manoush Zomorodi.

Our production staff also includes Harsha Nahata and Matthew Cloutier. Our audio engineers are Patrick Murray, Becky Brown and David Greenburg.
