Episode notes

Today, we take a U-turn into some strange American history as we talk about a bill that could have brought hippos to America to Louisiana and to your kitchen table. Thought to be an environmental and solution to meat shortage, there is a reality where we could have had Hippo Bacon in the morning...but would it have caused more problems than it solved?
