  I enjoyed listening to this episode and went to the podcast on iTunes to hear it again. To my dismay, it's truncated, only about ten minutes long. Can somebody please correct this?

  Thank you very much.

  J-

  The whole episode will be podcast on December 2. The podcast you heard was a little "sperm preview" shorty podcast. But until then, you can hear it as streaming audio right here on this page!

  many thanks!

  I'm sorry, but the interminable story of a girl seeking her biological father is just pathetic. And it ends with a schmaltzy song? What are we supposed to learn from this? And for god's sake, please let up on the hyperediting... Give your audience some room to imagine things for themselves. Seriously.

  What's the song played about 20 minutes into the episode? Thanks.

  Another interesting journey - like Jason from D.C., I was interested to know the music played during this podcast. Thanks

  Hi Laura + Jason. The song is “Salvese Quien Pueda (Juana’s Epic Re-Version)” by Juana Molina. She's amazing!

  Just checked out Jauna Molina thanks to these comments. She has an incredible sound. Thanks for the tip!

  Hi. What's the song about 3:30 into the podcast? It's some kind of a men's choir. Have you folks considered listing the music that you use in each episode, if it's available? thanks so much.

  Really enjoyed the episode, glad to know I wasn't the only one interested in finding out who that one artist was and somebody did my work for me!

  I too came here to find out who was responsible for that amazing Spanish language song about 20 min in. Thanks, Lulu -- I'm now a Juana Molina fan!

  I'm a big NPR fan, but this was the first Radio Lab I've heard. It was very interesting, funny, heartwarming - I loved it! I'll be back on the dial next weekend and I've forwarded the link to many friends!

  The first part of the episode (Why So Many?) is fantastic. Loved it. Not so much the other two...human interest stories are great and all, but This American Life's got that covered. I turn to you all when I want my mind to be blown. And you almost always deliver. Thank you!

  p.s. as for the editing, I love it.

  As always, great show. My brother (who went to Oberlin) got me hooked. However, I noticed a misnomer in the first part of the show. The man who discovered the wonderful penis-scooper of the damselfly (similar to the dragonfly) was Jon, not Jeff, Waage. As a student of his, I was excited to hear about him, and I had to write something!

  I saw this new site and it made me think of the sperm episode.

  I have to disagree with ligeti42. I thought the story about the girl looking for her father was incredibly touching and the editing is really dynamic.

  Great episode!
