Happy 2020 everyone! About the World is back and the first program of the year kicks off the decade with phenomenal guests and great topics. My first guest is author Jack Hersch. He recently wrote the book, "Death March Escape" a book detailing his fathers multiple escapes from concentration camps. My second guest is the president of Persedo, Ricky Ford. His company offers a new technology that can remove some of the harsh impurities from spirits and leave them tasting smoother. Both guests have a lot to say and this episode is so diverse you don't want to miss it.
