Our guest today, Larry Jorgensen has quite the resume when speaking of his time as a journalist, but it's what he is doing today that has brought the two of us together. Setting out to discover the history of Coca-Cola Larry found himself going deeper and deeper into a story that was more than an article, more than even a book, but multiple books and many stories to share!
