Description
Andrew and Wen talk with writer and comedian Gina DiVittorio about the Great Molasses Flood of 1919. Together they trace the history of rum, and discover how its production, along with sailors, settlers, war, prohibition, and one company's general stupidity, led to a disaster so uniquely horrible the world had never seen anything like it! And you'll never guess who they tried to blame for it!
