How NPR Ruined My Valentine's Day

I haven't liked Neal DeGrasse Tyson ever since he was snooty to me once after a panel discussion at the Hayden Planetarium on life in outer space. But today's All Things Considered on NPR has a sorta funny clip on where the gold in your Valentine's Day gift came from (gotta have that V-Day tie in). Turns out that gold is from stars. Yes, stars! How do stars make gold, you ask? Well, just listen to the clip of Robert Krulwich interviewing Neal de Snooty Grasse Tyson to find out. You'll never look at gold the same way again. (The editing of the radio broadcast, by the way, is a good example of how to create a catchy podcast.)
