Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Say the name “George Washington” and most people think “First American President” not “First American Whiskey-maker.” But a new project at Mount Vernon will soon merge the two. Join Kojo for a look at alcohol’s role in the founding of our country.
Guests
- William Rorabaugh History Professor, University of Washington; author of "The Alcoholic Republic: An American Tradition" (Oxford Univ. Press)
- Dennis Pogue Associate Director of Mount Vernon for Preservation; Co-Director of Mount Vernon's Distillery Project
