This is a special episode that’s a little bit different from our
usual programming.



For several years, BackStory hosts have appeared on WBUR’s Here
& Now, discussing a range of topics that have been in the
news. Last week, Nathan and Ed appeared on the program to talk
about America’s relationship with tobacco. They relied on the
research of Sarah Milov, an assistant professor of history at the
University of Virginia, whose book, The Cigarette: A Political
History, comes out in October. 



As you may have seen reported in various media outlets, neither
Nathan, nor Ed credited Prof. Milov on the air for her work. For
that, we’re deeply sorry. 



So in this special segment, Prof. Milov joins Nathan and Ed to
talk about what happened last week, as well as broader issues
facing historians who are regularly in the media.

*In the conversation, Nathan and Sarah Milov refer to the
following historians: Nan Enstad, James Downs, Danielle McGuire
and Silke-Maria Weineck. Thanks to Jessica Marie Johnson for
providing hosts with some background reading on the
topic.
