This week we are delving into a childhood favorite: The Slinky. You may be asking: Why is this weird? Well, did you know that it was an accidental discovery? That there are Guinness records for it? That it has been used for various sciences? That there is a musical about it? Or that the woman who saved the Slinky ran the company for nearly 40 years? We cover all these, and much more on this week's episode. Enjoy!
