Sorry this one is late getting up. I had a problem with the mp3 file, and was unable to get it straightened out till tonight, when I could get Eric Willison, the shows executive producer and sound engineer, to fix it for me. We got it straightened out though, and are good to go!

Our book or the week was The Oyster Wars, a great historical fiction novel that takes place in and around the Baltimore area following the civil war.
