The bottles may be dusty but the conversation sure isn’t! Aaron Goldfarb, author of the new book "Dusty Booze: In Search of Vintage Spirits”, sits down with the band to talk about the wild paths you wind up on when you write a book about spirits that can be over a hundred years old, and the people who collect them. Learn why some things don’t taste like they used to and why some things never change, and what drives people to seek these relics out in the first place. Plus, Icelandic prohibition! Possibly the world’s weirdest? Tune in to hear some semi-informed, wildly unverified history. Additionally, here at HRN we’re celebrating our 15th year and deepening our commitment to giving voice to the next generation of food systems storytellers. And we need your help. Our internship and fellowship programs help activate new possibilities for underrepresented and underestimated young people—through experiential journalism, audio engineering, and production training. When you donate to help support these programs, you can be entered to win a dinner for 2 at an amazing restaurant in 1 of 8 cities, and tickets to a concert at a great venue in one of those cities. Thank you for supporting our work to educate the next generation of food systems storytellers! Love The Speakeasy but wish there was more?
