Use of Sound: Making Moonshine In The Backwoods Of New Hampsshire

Original air date:  July 10, 2013

In the past few years there’s been a  resurgence in American moonshine, including high-end bottles on liquor store shelves. The movement comes thanks in no small part to the Discovery Channel reality show, Moonshiners. And while ‘White Lightening’ may have its roots in Appalachia, in the deep shade of New Hampshire’s forest, there’s at least one illegal operation.
