Always Wondered - Why Do We Yell "Great Scott"!? Who's Scott? Why Was He Great?

On this episode, we're heading straight for the dessert table.  When did dessert become a thing?  And, more importantly, who do we thank for all that sweet goodness?  Also, why do we yell "Great Scott" whenever something extraordinary happens?  Learn the identity of Scott and what makes him so great.    Plus - hear about the strangest spy gadget ever devised by the C.I.A.  It's the story of how a house cat was turned into a secret agent.  (Yes, it's as weird as it sounds!)  So join host Rick Peterson as he answers more of the questions you've Always Wondered about.
