You've heard about the Nobel Prize winners, now hear about the winners of the IG-Nobel prizes, which are given for research that cannot, and should not, be reproduced. Also, we'll hear about cars of the future, and the possible rebirth of supersonic travel, courtesy of some Japanese engineering. Then an International Red Cross report tackles information sharing in the wake of disasters. And we'll round out the week with some podsafe music from some Indian computer engineers with a yen for They Might Be Giants.
