201. Chincoteague Ponies and Albert Einstein's Brain

Kat has a horse girl lesson for those who were also obsessed with the novel “Misty of Chincoteague.” But don’t worry if that excludes you, we also rewind 56 million years to the feral/wild “Dawn Horse” that everyone can relate to. Then Hayley follows it up with a lesson on our favorite Nobel Prize winner to stick his tongue out: Einstein. But more specifically his brain and how it was stolen.
