HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAD!!!

April 18, 2008 – 9:54 am

Jad at Blue Spoon

It’s Jad’s birthday today.

If you want to make him happy, here’s what you can do. He’s got a mocha addiction that you can help support. Send a Starbuck’s gift card to:
Jad Abumrad
Host/Creator/Producer, Radiolab
WNYC
1 Centre Street
New York, NY 10007

If everyone pitches in, I’m sure we can make season 5 in full alertness!

Send your birthday wishes to: radiolab@wnyc.org.

    Happy Birthday from the Republic of Ann Arbor. I’d chat more, but I’m off to hang out with Richard Gere, Phillip Glass and the Dalai Lama.

    Cheers and may you have many more years of creative service!

    Happy birthday. One can only assume in the photo you’re making some sort of transporting sound.

    Happy birthday from Utah! Radio Lab podcasts keep me company on many long drives through this beautiful-but-culturally-desolate state. Thanks very much for entertaining and educating me. You rock, Jad.

    Happy Birthday Jad, man. Your show makes me feel like I’ve just been through that tunnel in Willie Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. And then I learn loads of FASCINATING SH@#$T!!

    Happy (belated) birthday Jad- your existence has brightened my work days and car rides more than I can say…which is basically priceless. I continue to get my nerdy friends addicted to the sound of your voice. Have a good one.

    starbucks? really?

    keep it local, Jad.

    if you promise to buy your mochas from a neighborhood business, I’ll send you a fair-trade, organic, ethically delicious chocolate cake

    To #33, Sarah, Jad’s actually partial to a place called Blue Spoon, actually, and the barista there makes the most fantastic designs. They use a fabulous roaster from Chicago, Intelligensia.

    If you come to Sweden I buy you and your co-workers as much mocha as you want. My God, real radio exists and it´s living in NY! The future looks bleak for television.
