This week, Marc Abrahams  —with dramatic readings by Robin Abrahams — tells about:

Awkward Social Dilemmas — Etiquette , by Emily Post, 1922.

The mysterious John Schedler or the shadowy Bruce Petschek perhaps did the sound engineering this week.

The Improbable Research podcast is all about research that makes people LAUGH, then THINK — real research, about anything and everything, from everywhere —research that may be good or bad, important or trivial, valuable or worthless. CBS distributes it, on the CBS Play.it web site, and on iTunes and Spotify).
