Even if your father didn’t tell you mother that it was either “him or that gator” (“that” gator being the 5 foot long alligator living in the bathtub), you’ll still get a kick out of Homer Hickam’s upcoming novel Carrying Albert Home. Listen in as Homer tells us about his parents (who really did have the “it’s the gator or me” talk), the inspirational force of a lackluster SCUBA article, and his reptilian connection to Jed Clampett.
