This week, Carmen Achabal, friend of the show and the IGEM Program Manager at Idaho Commerce, joins us in studio to talk about state-funded research grants that benefit Idaho small businesses.  We also talk Commerce Trivia, Unexpected Weather Forecasting, Thanksgiving Alligators, Tax Resources, Smuggling Dinner Rolls into Christmas Movies, and Pies baked into Cakes.

As always, send Dave and David your questions, comments, suggestions and criticisms at [email protected], or on Twitter @IdahoBizCast.
