exciting updates!
The bison emoji is now available on iPhones! And there's more good news where that came from. [This is not a whole new episode of the miniseries, it's an extra bonus update.]

A long walk worth taking
The story has it all, particle physics, Internet ephemera, high school jobs, personal growth. If you like this, listen to Secretly Incredibly Fascinating from the same creator.
Great podcast!
Very enjoyable! When I was flying from NC to Chicago I would always look for FermiLab out the window. This podcast will make you want to look at FermiLab too, but to see bison
Awesome!
I updated my iPhone just for you sir lol, thanks for all you do!
