Show Notes

On this episode of the Our American Stories podcast, we bring you Matt Parker, a comedian and mathematician from Australia, who tells the story of the time Michael Larson was shockingly good at the game show "Press Your Luck," and gives a look into why computers can’t be random; also, Dr. John Degarmo, founder of the Foster Care Institute, shares some of the joys and the heartaches of being a foster parent; and finally, Roger McGrath tells us the story of Hollywood’s strapping, steely-eyed, leading man, Wayne Morris.
