This week I am interviewing Andrew McClean, who tells about the backyard history of interesting things from the Maritimes. Our particular focus in this episode is on the prominence of rum in the life of people who live in New Brunswick during the early part of the 20th century. Rum was a part of the salary of some of the workers and it was common for them to take a “rum break” instead of a “coffee break”.
