Episode 11's News Rodeo offers a uniquely IRREVERENT look at American ingenuity in general with Stone's guests Tad Wilcox, the Val Kilmer Chair of American Technological History at Harvard University and John Jackobmeyer Smith, a research fellow at the American Progress Alliance, and author of "We Used To Make Shit Work: An Annotated History of American Invention."
