On Friday’s Afternoon Shift, we continue presenting some of our favorite segments from the first 100 episodes.

First, we talk with writer Jonathan Gottschall about his book The Storytelling Animal: How Stories Make Us Human.

And with the days getting longer, getting a good night’s sleep can be difficult. We discuss the science of sleep with Dr. Eve Van Cauter and Dr. Lisa Wolfe of Northwestern University.

Finally, we’ve got a music-filled show: Ari Picker stopped by to discuss his band Lost in the Trees and their new album A Church That Fits Our Need and London folk-rock band Dry the River perform live in studio in advance of their apperance at Lollapalooza.
