In this episode, Herb speaks to acclaimed author, Daniel Okrent, about his book Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition. Daniel served as the first public editor of the New York Times and invented Rotisserie League Baseball. His book, Last Call, served as a major source for the 2011 Ken Burns/Lynn Novick miniseries Prohibition. His most recent book is The Guarded Gate:Bigotry, Eugenics, and the Law That Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants Out of America.

In this episode’s Licensee Highlight, Herb speaks with Sheldon Anderson, CEO of Public Flower Dispensary, in Buffalo, NY. Sheldon thoughtfully reflects on growing up around cannabis and the opportunity that led to recently as he was awarded a NYS Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary License.
