A face for radio

Saturday's All Things Considered on NPR aired a five-minute interview with me, in which I got to talk about my favorite subject with host Debbie Elliot. If you don't have the time to read a whole book, or don't have the $24, think of this as the Cliff Notes version. But only up to the colonial era. If you want to know about rum in the last century, you'll have to spring for all 300 pages.

It's accessible via streaming audio online at NPR's web site.
