We asked listeners which Radiolab stories are the most Valentine-y, and we got some great nominations. Here are the top contenders--we've got spooning bloodflukes, a photographer who falls for a leopard seal, a heartbreaking story about falling out of love, and by far the top pick...Finding Emilie from our Lost & Found Show. Enjoy, and hey...maybe sharing this with your sweetheart will earn you a little extra romance-cred?
