This episode is about the Jane Addams Hull House and all of the residents who passed through, and about hot, smutty classical music. Maybe we'll write a clever description later, but for right now that is all you need to know.

Maybe we should call this our first ever episode of Shared Science, but once we got talkin' crocs with Frank 'Alligator' Robb we just couldn't help ourselves! Join us on a journey through crocodilians of the distant past (fighting dinosaurs), recent past (How Frank caught Chicago's 'Chance the Snapper'), and near future (as the key to unlocking a cure for cancer). You'll also learn a little about Sue the T-Rex, the Lake Michigan Serpent, and a brief lesson on how to catch a dinosaur!

This week we give credit where credit is due. Pushing the boundaries of the United States? That credit goes to York, a man enslaved to William Clark, who was the MVP of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Pushing the boundaries of the film industry? Those kudos belong in the midwest and not the west coast -- with Spoor & Anderson of Essanay Studios in Chicago.
