Fred posits that it would be great if whiskey could be the universal conversation conduit.Fred talks about drinking certain whiskey neat versus with ice or in cocktails.They briefly delve into the world of book nerds and the difficulty of writing a book proposal. Jennifer asserts that the proposal often seems more difficult than writing the book itself.Fred talks about "the return of rye," rye history and MGP's role.The topic of glassware comes up. Fred prefers a glass that "shows the whiskey." He of course then sings the praises of the Glencairn glass.Ultimately, Jennifer chooses Old Forester as her favorite of the flight.QUOTABLESJennifer Steinhaur, on women's likelihood to be good collaborators and problem-solvers: "I think women naturally, in the workplace and in their family lives, have to find themselves in that kind of mediator mode. Sometimes it is the role we have to embrace in very male spaces. ... Sometimes, perhaps that plays out in the legislature and the workplace in a way that can be favorable to outcomes."RESOURCEShttps://www.jennifersteinhauer.com/ https://twitter.com/jestei https://www.instagram.com/steinhauer.jennifer/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
