So maybe I am a nerd or at least have nerdy interests, so what? When I got home last night I was excited that the new episode of Radio Lab was up. This is the first one of the season. Radio Lab is one of my favorite radio shows. Each episode makes me feel smarter. I never even thought I liked science.

This Episode is about Laughter

“We all laugh. But why? If you look closely, you’ll find that humor has very little to do with it. In this episode, we explore the power of laughter to calm us, bond us to one another, or to spread… like a virus. Along the way, we tickle some rats, listen in on a baby’s first laugh, talk to a group of professional laughers, and travel to Tanzania to investigate an outbreak of contagious laughter.”

I’ve got something to listen to on the way to work today! It’s gonna make my drive a whole lot better.
