  • Summary

  • Since it’s Labor Day we’ve got a flashback Talking Headways here at Mondays at The Overhead Wire! Next week we’ll be back with a Mondays show with a special guest that’s not Han Solo so stay tuned!

    But this week we’re chatting with Kenneth O’reilly about his book Asphalt: A History. We chatted about what asphalt is, how it was used for building, war, and economic expansion and how it affects the future of the planet. Ninety-four percent of our roads are asphalt, and they are 100 percent recyclable.
