Episode #3 — Hooch

Listen

This week on North Star Lane we have two stories about one of the world's oldest folk crafts: home brewing. Jesse Bearheart lives in Cook MN. She learned from the very different cultures and perspectives of grandparents on both mother's and father's sides of the family. On today's show, Jesse shares a family story from her Norwegian grandparents during the Prohibition era. Then we'll hear from world traveler Rich McClear, who started his broadcast and storytelling career when he founded KAXE FM in Grand Rapids MN. His family story is one he thought he knew, growing up, but learned the story behind the story just a few years ago.
