This is a terrific piece, though it may be that this is also my first time listening to Radio Lab, so it may also be the backing music, cutting and overtalking that I like.
One interesting note: I listened to this show and then watched Groundhog's Day with about 40 people, and many of the insights of the show (especially gender and laughter, and the disconnect between "we laugh because it is funny" and the data that shows otherwise) seemed illustrated.
