In this just-under-the-wire episode of The Charles C. W. Cooke Podcast, I start by talking about everyone’s favorite topic — how we can address our deficits and national debt, and why, despite their protestations, the Republicans aren’t serious about doing so — and then chat with Vic Matus about his book on the history of vodka in the United States, and, in particular, about how a grain alcohol “without distinctive character, aroma, taste, or color” became the most popular hard liquor in America.
