Ep. 31: Uncle Nearest Retrospective with Fawn Weaver and Clay Risen

Back in 2016, Clay Risen wrote an article for the Times about a man named Nathan “Nearest” Green. Fawn Weaver, an author and entrepreneur, was halfway around the world in Singapore when she read the article. That moment would change both of their lives. 

This week’s episode and the live event focused on the man and his legacy, the growth and future of his eponymous whiskey brand, and how Uncle Nearest is pushing the industry to face its own history, even if that history shakes them to the core.
