The Sleeper Hit

This week's guest is Seattle's own Evan Cartwright! He talked about aquavit, a 15th Century Scandinavian liquor. He also shared his thoughts on Seattle's public transit and what it was like to grow up in a literal ghost town. You can follow Evan on Twitter @evancartwright (but as he admits, don't expect him to tweet much).
