Episode 028 of scienceTASTIC is the perfect marriage of good times and great science. Mark gets down on one knee to tell us about a talking piano, Mike vows to honor and obey new technology from the "Bridge Whisperer"*, and Joe shoves a fork-full of cake into the beak of birds that understand physics. Swing over to the gift table and you'll also find nuclear batteries, the new energy economy, and - appropriate today's theme - a newly-discovered ring around Saturn. Just by listening to this show you are saying "I do... want to hear awesome science stories."

What we didn't get to: candles in space and the psychology of the soccer flop.
