KBH on NPR

This morning I talked King’s Best Highway on the Connecticut NPR show “Where We Live,” hosted by John Dankosky. You can listen to the show at the WNPR site, and download it there too.

I was joined by a great panel of Post Road voices, including Diana McCain of the Connecticut Historical Society; Chris Donnelly, Connecticut’s Urban Forestry Coordinator, who led an effort to plant trees along the road; Bryan Bentz, who’s exploring Post Road mile stones in Stonington; and Gary Denton, who is currently blogging about his post road travels.

I had the great pleasure to meet Gary a few nights ago when I spoke at the Boston Public Library, and corresponded with Bryan shortly after the publication of the book. Both are very knowledgeable about the post road — and I encourage readers to visit their sites.
