This summer, WNYC, the station that I work for, asked me to host a singles event. And could you not? The singles event, I mean, the idea they had, and this didn't start with me, is that people love public radio and they could find love through public radio, an interesting idea, and it made for an interesting event. The Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, was kind enough to loan us their space. It was an amazing space. About 250 people showed up, ready to mingle, and it was great to meet fans of the show, people who love public radio, and also gave us a chance to explore the biochemistry of love in the typical RadioLab fashion. We thought for this podcast, perhaps we would play you a bit of that event. (audience cheering) ♪ You're afraid on love ♪ ♪ You ain't insane, this is your brain on love ♪
