Dedicated is expanding. We are now filming our segments. We are doing some slick new video inside

the Sirius XM studios. So if you want to see me fixing the cocktails and having conversations

with our awesome guests, go to YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, or the Sirius XM app, and you can

see us in studio. Welcome to Dedicated with Doug Brunt.

You have just gained access to an exclusive insider's look at the lives and works

of some of your favorite authors and hear conversations with the world's greatest writers

as they discuss their writing lifestyle, creative process, latest work, and behind-the-scenes

revelations.

Welcome to Dedicated. Today we're with Megan Marshall. She is a Pulitzer Prize-winning

biographer. She won the 2014 Pulitzer for her biography of Margaret Fuller. She's written five

books. Her latest is called After Lives. She's also written a very interesting article in the

New York Times, which caught my eye recently because it brings up a subject that often comes up on this

show. So I'm excited to talk with Megan, I'm confusing you and your subject. Excited to talk to Megan

about all of that. Welcome. Thank you so much. And people always do that. They call me Margaret.

So I don't mind it.

Got Margaret Fuller on the brain. Yeah. Thanks to you. Yeah. So we're going to settle in here with Brazil's favorite cocktail, the Kiperina. Did I say that right?

Well, I think so. Okay. I think, you know, I actually, I confess, I went to YouTube and searched how to pronounce that spelling, Khyberinian.

That's what I've been practicing ever since.

So I'm going to watch this with great admiration because when I've made these, it's the hardest thing is to smush and mush the

limes without breaking the glass they're in.

Did you have like a real cocktail set muddler?

I have a wooden one actually.
