Radiolab this month presents "Cities" - In this hour of Radiolab, we take to the street to ask what makes cities tick. There's no scientific metric for measuring a city's personality.

Corrections: Basic Journalistic Hygiene
The Ombudsman gets out her red pencil to correct NPR's Corrections policy, suggesting that the organization strengthen its commitment to immediately reporting and fixing any and all errors committed on its air or website. She points to The Toronto Star's good example: the newspaper has a "report an error" button next to every story.

Ommmmm
It turns out that slow deep breathing is really, really good for you. (This may seem like common sense, but now it's scientifically proven.) When we're stressed, we breathe quickly and shallowly. Breathing slowly and deeply activates the vagus nerve, which helps our body calm down. There are more implications than the obvious in this research: learning how to breathe correctly can permanently alter the body's stress response and increase individual health.

Just Wild About Saffron
Saffron is an expensive, relatively rare spice -- it takes 75,000 crocus flowers to make a single pound of it. But according to food writer Monica Bhide, when it comes to cooking with saffron, it's easy to have too much of a good thing. Bhide shares two saffron-centric recipes and shows Guy Raz how a little of the exotic spice can go a long way.
