Description:

This week author Jesse Jarnow joins Nate to talk about his book “Wasn’t That a Time: The Weavers, the Blacklist and the Battle for the Soul of America.” In this episode, Jesse tells Nate about one of America’s unlikeliest million selling pop combos -- the folk singing, unabashedly left wing Weavers and their battles with the paranoid American right wing, all in the context of a pre-rock and roll 50’s when pop was at its all-time whitest and blandest.
