In the sixth episode of season 13 of the 5 Minute Biographies podcast, we take a brief look at the life of the man who has been described as America's and possibly even the world's greatest inventor. He brought us mass communication, sound recordings, the light bulb and motion pictures among lots of other things - he was Thomas Edison.
