There's Always Money in the Banana Stand

HERITAGE RADIO NETWORK
About this episode

Ben Jones of Rhum Clement and Rhum JM beams into the show to talk about the rhums of St. Lucia and Martinique - what makes them distinct, what makes them delicious and what the American public makes of them anyway. He also debuts their new Bana Canne, which takes all the deliciousness of bananas and fuses it with the rhuminess of rhum. Plus, Damon’s back! Hear what he’s been up to and more this week!
