Do you know how to make an Election Cake? What about the history of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Witch Hunters

This hour, state historian Walt Woodward joins us to talk about his new book Creating ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø: Critical Moments That Shaped a Great State and answer all your questions about the Nutmeg state, starting with why do we call ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø the Nutmeg State? 

We’ll talk about the origins of the Pequot War, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø’s long history of immigration, and Walt might just give us the recipe for the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø Election Cake - it only requires 10 pounds of butter!
