<p>The dude was short, real short. A runt. A pipsqueak. Shorty-short-stuff. Diminutive. And he was sickly to boot. Only five-feet three-inches tall with what’s now called Trigeminal Neuralgia. And yet, this guy fully earned the title, “Giant”. His is this season’s final episode, the capstone episode, for a reason. This Cambridge short-guy was as BIG as it gets. </p>

They Named a Disease After Him (It’s Okay, it’s a Good Thing)

30 Fun, Easy, Cambridge-area Stories to Brag About and Impress Your Friends. 
The Cambridge area has contributed in ways vastly disproportionate to our modest population, and this podcast presents brag-worthy proof. This is a 30-episode podcast; each episode is about 10 minutes; 1 per week for 30 weeks. It's about people and events from our past, people and events that have influenced our community, and in many cases, our country. While most stories are Cambridge-specific (I treat Cambridge, Jackson and White Creek as one place), I also borrow from other close-to-Cambridge communites.
