You knew he deserved it, but never thought about it, did you?  Sounds like a question for Radio Lab.  If you agree with us on comfort food, you might agree that Jad has something in common with those oreos, mostly in that he helps us adjust to wherever we find ourselves, but also when introducing us to new words such as defenestration (about 26 minutes into the segment in this link). For those who feel as strongly about Robert Krulwich as they do about Jad–what a team–you know that the Radio Lab partner is beaming with pride, don’t you?  One word; good.
