Yep. Another Valentine’s Day is upon us. Last year I meant to share a great Valentine’s Day recording with Turtle reader, but I just plain forgot. So, I am getting out in front of the big day this year.
Have a listen to this short from the New York Public Radio program Radiolab. In it, the host Jad Abumrad and Robert 
Krolwich retell the story purportedly first told by the great Ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes during a Symposium drinking party. Socrates was there, and so was Socrates’ most famous pupil, Plato. He recorded Aristophanes explanation of why humans fell in love in his Socratic dialogue called, appropriately enough, The Symposium. Enjoy the two minute clip, and have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
