Length: 58 mins

Publisher's Summary

It’s the Fourth of July week and we thought it might be fun to take a look at some current American obsessions. We’ll start with Deborah Harkness and her bestselling saga of life and love among the supernaturals, A Discovery of Witches.

Next, Maggie Linton talks with perennial favorite Dorothea Benton Franks about her new book Folly Beach.

And then for those who want to believe, we’ll hear about Area 51 from the people who actually worked there from investigative journalist Annie Jacobsen – yes, that means aliens.

But first, a look at the top History downloads from Audible.com. [Original Broadcast Date: July 5, 2010]

A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
