Hey guys, I love the show. I've noticed (at least it seems to me), as the seasons have progressed, the episodes have focused less and less on topics related to science (sleep, who am I), and more and more on "slice-of-life"/narrative (are you sure, bliss) types of stories. Was this a conscious decision, or is it just hard to come up with so many cool science stories?

Thanks! I think what I was getting at is that there are a number of radio programs that might have broadcast the story about the couple who had to decide whether or not to fight for the baby's life (This American Life comes to mind), but not many radio programs would be willing to dedicate so much air time to a question like, "Why do we blink?" And while I love all your episodes, the latter type is what got me listening.

Anyway, thanks for the answer. Keep up the good work, it's always a pleasant surprise when a new episode pops up in my Stitcher feed.
