Summary
Today's show is one of my favorite shows EVER! Pedram Shojai has basically done everything: he is a knight, he's been chased by lions, lived as a hunter-gatherer,  he's making films, and writing books... Some seriously cool stuff!
Before we get to the show though, I want to thank you folks once again for checking out our app, "CavemanFeast" where we have over 200 Paleo recipes from George Bryant over at CivilizedCavemanCooking.com
The response has been amazing! It broke right through the Top 10, and hit #1 in the Food & Drink category, plus #6 overall across the world! To those of you have picked up the app already, thank you so much! If you don't have it yet, and have an iPhone, iPod or iPad with iOS6, just click the button below to go download it now.
