Insects and the world we humans share with them is the topic of this edition of Radio Curious. Our guest is anthropologist Hugh Raffles, the author of “Insectopedia,” an exploration of some of the most beautiful creatures in the world, or depending on one’s personal and cultural perspective, some of the most scary. I spoke with Hugh Raffles by phone from his home in New York City, on March 22, 2010, and began by asking him, “What is an insect.” The books Hugh Raffles recommends are both by Roberto Bolano: “The Savage Detectives,” and “2666.” Click here to begin listening.

Los Angeles... California..." followed by the signature "dun-dun-DUN" theme music. Impact: Pioneering Police Procedural: Dragnet is considered a pioneer of LA LUZ DEL MISTERIO CON JULIO BARROSO.
