Fri. 09/24 - Ancient Teens Shake Up History of Human Migration

Ancient footprints discovered in New Mexico are shaking up what we thought we knew about when humans first arrived in the Americas. Plus, how much plastic do we unknowingly ingest each year?

And a new, very unauthorized website that will bring you Chick-fil-A on a Sunday.
