Featuring Matt O'Hara, Edan Lepucki
Historian Matt O’Hara stops by to talk about and sign his book *The Flying Death: Poison, Plunder, and the Quest for a Miracle Medicine in the Amazon*, joined in conversation by Edan Lepucki. The talk digs into a wild 1930s saga of explorers chasing a toxic Amazon vine and the breakthrough medicines that came from it.
