Always Wondered - Why Do We Kiss Each Other?

from Always Wondered

In this episode, we explore why we kiss. It’s been the subject of countless poems, love songs, and movies. But the reason we started kissing in the first place may be much less “romance novel” and much more “evolutionary glitch”! Also - if you think you’re having a bad day, just wait until you hear the tale of what historians call the worst year to ever be alive! Plus - learn the origin of the “baker’s dozen”. We think of it today as a generous little gesture. But its roots are much stranger! Join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you’ve Always Wondered about.
