Episode 200: The One Where They Interview Rick Sebak

Hop Nation USA - A Craft Beer Podcast

Yes you read the title correctly, Pittsburgh legend, sandwich aficionado, documentary filmmaker Rick Sebak joins Steve and Adam for a sit down interview over a bunch of steel city beers, one Maryland beer, and an eponymous cocktail. They talk about documentaries as a form of storytelling, pre podcast AM radio, pizza, hot dogs, the history of the city and Rick's own history as a filmmaker for WQED and PBS. They get Rick to answer the infamous question, "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" and learn about his hobby spinning records on Twitch at the Independent Brewing Company. They also play a round of Would You Rather? with Rick and learn more history in one show than a week of History Channel.
