In this episode, Radiolab steers its way through a series of stories about getting lost, and asks how our brains, and our hearts, help us find our way back home. After hearing about a little girl who gets lost in front of her own house, Jad and Robert wonder how we find our way in the world. We meet a woman who has spent her entire life getting lost, and find out how our brains make maps of the world around us. We go to a military base in New Jersey to learn about some amazing feats of navigational wizardry, and are introduced to a group of people in Australia with impeccable orientation. Finally, we turn to a very different kind of lost and found: a love story about running into a terrifying, and unexpected, fork in the road. via reader Kevin

We’ll find out what the new census information tells us about where and how people are living in the U.S. with the help of WILLIAM FREY of the Brookings Institution. Then, one of the main purposes of the Census is to make certain that seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are apportioned correctly, so we’ll turn our attention to the impact of the Census on local and national politics.
