Everyday Superhumans

South Louisiana is a land of swaps and marshes and a native home to one of nature's most deadliest creatures: alligators. Meet Tim Domangue, owner of Greenwood Gator Farm, and who we like to call The Gator Man of South Louisiana. Tim's job isn't like most others, on a daily basis he faces the hundreds of hungry gators on his farm and opens up his doors for guest and tourist to see his art of raising gators.

They chat with Tim about the life of a gator farmer, how his local fame got him involved with History's Swap People, and how - if you're a man over fifty - gator fat can make you go boing!

In this very special episode of Everyday Superhumans, Caroline & Kyle dig into the archives of the show to give you the second interview they recorded (even before the show had a name!)

Running for Cade is an annual 5K race that happens every May in Houma, LA. The race is more than just a reason to show off how fast your 5K time is compared to your friends, it's an enormous charity event dedicated to raising awareness and funding for research for Prader-Willi syndrome, a rare genetic condition in which the body cannot tell when the stomach is full.

In this very special episode Kyle and Caroline chat with the event's organizer, and the mother of Cade, Maegan Richard. Together they discuss what Prader-Willi symdrome is, the day-to-day challenges of raising a child with Prader-Willi (and raising two other kids at the same time!), how the event has brought the community of Houma closer together, and the bright future of Prader-Willi research. We even get to chat with Cade, the boy himself, about his favorite superheros!
