Today we have a bonus Between the Covers: a ten-minute podcast with Benjamin L. Carp, author of Defiance of the Patriots: The Boston Tea Party & the Making of America. We discuss whether the original tea party was a libertarian tax revolt, if its participants were peaceful protesters or violent hooligans, and what the 21st-century tea-party movement has in common with its Boston antecedent.

Tomorrow, we’ll return to our normal schedule of Tuesday podcasts–and feature an Election Day conversation with P.J. O’Rourke.
