Word Of Mouth 04.06.2013

We bring you a collection of tasty segments we know you'll love, using the powers of public radio telepathy. 

This week...we take you inside "The Zone" of Fukushima where abandoned animals are being cared for by one brave man; Albania has enough bunkers to house nearly all of its citizens, we speak to the man who photographs them; rats can share thoughts through a telepathic process that reminds us of Vulcan mind melding; someone holds the patent on your genes, and it's probably not you; robots ensure that knee surgery is the most precise it can be; a woman seeks to take the art of cosplay out of the convention center and into the wild; and the dumpsters of Trader Joes might just be New York's hottest club.
