Listen "Hippos in Louisiana"
Episode Synopsis
Have you heard about the time someone had the bright idea of importing Hippos into South Louisiana? The thought behind it was to use these mammoth beasts in part to help control water hyacinths which were taking over our swamps. But was it such a great idea?How many times have you had a ‘wonderful idea’ that you just knew would work? It’s one thing to try implementing something such as a new recipe or knitting project.
