Podcasts about Prohibition

John Torrio was ready when the new Prohibition law went into effect, but he seemed to be the only one. He was waiting impatiently for everyone else to catch up. He'd been predicting Prohibition to his friends and business associates for months and knew it would be how organized crime could amass untold amounts of wealth. To take something that had always been legal, and make it illegal, especially a vice like alcohol, and then expect Americans to adhere to the letter of the law was incredibly naïve. Torrio knew that by taking advantage of Prohibition, it was a way for people like himself to become millionaires. Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.Have a question or comment?

In this week's episode, Lesley and Fraser navigate a blustery start to the week. Lesley recounts her experience at the Irish Consul's celebration in Edinburgh, noting Ireland's cultural confidence.The discussion turns to the "heating oil headache" facing off-grid Scots, with the UK government's £35 support package being branded as woefully inadequate. We look to our Northern neighbours for solutions, analysing how district heating and hydro energy allow countries like Finland to maintain energy security while the UK remains tethered to volatile fossil fuel markets.The mood shifts as we examine the continuing escalation in the Middle East. We discuss Donald Trump's "wasp's nest" approach to Iran, the tragic bombing of a girls' school in Minab linked to outdated AI data, and the growing criticism of the BBC's "sanitised" coverage of the conflict.We discuss the count down to the election and the SNP's campaign conference at the weekend with some headline grabbing announcments. Plus the news that ‘Your Party' like the Alba Party, won't be contesting the Holyrood elections. Plus, we look at the potential for political upheaval in Hungary, the latest goings on surrounding Peter Mandelson's departure, and Lesley's whirlwind tour of Scotland with her Finland film screenings.In this episode:St Patrick's Day Confidence: What Scotland can learn from the Irish approach to history and culture.The Heating Oil Crisis: Why £35 is a "hotchpotch" response to doubling energy bills for rural households.District Heating – Why Wait?: Analysing the Scandinavian model, where wasting industrial heat is against the law.Iran & The AI Failure: The devastating consequences of old data and the "distancing" language of modern warfare.BBC Under Fire: Ben Depeer's critique of "if it bleeds, it leads" and the challenges of reporting from a bunker.The Mandelson Payoff: The "brazenness" of a £547,000 request following a reputational meltdown.LinksSupport the podcast with a monthly or annual subscriptionhttps://lesleyriddoch.com/podcast/subscribeFinland Film Screenings & EventsCheck the latest dates for Lesley's screenings across Scotland.https://lesleyriddoch.com/eventsMetagama: An Atlantic Odyssey https://www.facebook.com/p/Metagama-An-Atlantic-Odyssey-61557037868810/17 March: Birks Cinema, Aberfeldy18 March: Universal Hall, Findhorn19 March: Community Hall, Kincraig20 March: Macphail Centre, Ullapool21 March: Stratherrick Public Hall, Gorthleck22 March: Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Isle of Skye24 March: Cultarlann Inbhir Nis, Inverness25 March: Appin Village Hall, Argyll26 March: The Tolbooth, StirlingTickets for village halls:https://tickets-scotland.com/events.html...Tickets for Macphail Centre:https://tickets.highlifehighland.com/.../highlife.../2031529Tickets for all other venues:From venue box office & websites 'This acclaimed 5* live stage show tells the story of 1920s mass emigration from the Hebrides, featuring some of Scotland's top folk musicians and singers.

This week's blogpost - https://bahnsen.co/4bFGcwT Trevor Cummings hosts The Thoughts on Money Podcast with Brett Bonecutter and Blaine Carver to discuss “convictions over conformity,” arguing that shallow convictions lead investors to chase hot trends and abandon strategies when results turn. They contrast conformity/coercion with conviction by comparing Prohibition (a short-lived, legally forced attempt to curb alcoholism) with Alcoholics Anonymous (a long-lasting program rooted in personal responsibility and shared beliefs). The group emphasizes understanding the “why” behind an investment philosophy to avoid short-term decision-making, noting clients who engage intellectually are calmer during market stress. They discuss how strong convictions help filter product pitches and evaluate risk versus tax benefits. Trevor also shares uncertainty around legacy/estate planning, stressing communication, avoiding formulaic planning, and recognizing multi-generational impacts of wealth transfer. 00:00 Welcome and Setup 00:50 Why Conviction Matters 01:40 Conviction vs Conformity 03:54 Clients and Market Volatility 07:55 Prohibition as a Case Study 13:00 AA and Personal Responsibility 16:36 Start With Why 17:35 Staying True to Philosophy 20:24 Convictions Rooted in Truth 20:57 Grandma's Ham Parable 21:16 Ham Ends Parable 22:18 Why Beats What 23:34 AI Advice Pitfalls 24:28 Legacy Planning Uncertainty 27:05 Communication And Expectations 31:37 Advisor Role Boundaries 37:12 Gifting While Alive 38:44 Generational Ripple Effects 42:08 Fully Convinced Wrap Up 43:07 Ratings And Next Steps Links mentioned in this episode: http://thoughtsonmoney.com http://thebahnsengroup.com

Today's podcast covers: 〜てはいけません — You must not do, it is forbidden to do (prohibition) The pattern is formed by attaching it to the te-form of a verb. It expresses a prohibition or rule, meaning that an action is not allowed or must not be done. Example: 図書館で食べてはいけません。 You must not eat in the library. Vocabulary: 図書館で — in the library 食べてはいけません — must not eat Become a Makoto+ member for bonus content: www.MakotoPlus.com

Send a textWe celebrate Irish whiskey's roots, its collapse and comeback, and how Ohio became a hotbed for great bottles. We taste and score Bua Imperial Stout Finish, then mix an Irish Mule with maple and a Guinness Old Fashioned topped with vanilla foam.• Irish whiskey heritage from monks to Bushmills • Four core styles and triple distillation explained • Why Ohio's shelves now carry deeper Irish picks • Bua Imperial Stout Finish tasting and scores • Price, drinkability, and value talk • Irish Mule with barrel-aged maple tweak • Guinness Old Fashioned with chocolate bitters and foam • Irish coffee shortcut and bar gear tips • Shoutouts to local events, brands, and rare releasesIrish whiskey has a way of sneaking up on you—soft at first sip, then suddenly full of story. We kick things off by resetting our palates for St. Patrick's season and tracing the spirit's arc from monastic stills to the first license at Old Bushmills, through the hard years of trade restrictions and Prohibition, and into a modern revival that's filling glasses around the world. Along the way, we talk styles—single pot still, single malt, single grain, and blends—why triple distillation matters, and how used wood and clever finishes shape flavor without piling on heat.From there we get local. Ohio's shelves have quietly leveled up, and we shout out bottles that punch above their price, like The Whistler Double Oak, Writers' Tears, and a few “how is this still here?” finds. The centerpiece is our bottle breakdown of Bua Imperial Stout Finish, a Columbus-rooted Irish whiskey guided by seasoned hands. On the nose we find limoncello brightness, light cocoa, and a subtle nuttiness; on the palate, a gentle sugar note and roasted malt from the stout cask; the finish stays tidy and refreshing. We score it, debate body and balance, and talk real-world value—aka the kind of bottle that vanishes at a fantasy draft.Then we head behind the bar for two crowd-pleasers you can master tonight. First up: an Irish Mule with fresh lime, ginger beer, and a dash of barrel-aged maple syrup to round the edges. Next, a Guinness Old Fashioned built with Bua's stout finish, chocolate and Angostura bitters, and a silky Guinness brown-sugar syrup, crowned with a light vanilla foam. It drinks like the best parts of a pour and a pint in one glass. We close with a quick Irish coffee riff and a few gear tips to make your home bar smoother and more fun.Raise a glass with us, explore beyond the usual suspects, and lean into a season made for sharing good bottles and better stories.

This is a rebroadcast from ep 73In this episode of Libertarians Talk Psychology, we examine the real problem with drugs and why government policies have consistently failed to address addiction and substance abuse.While governments struggle to manage even legal drugs like alcohol, prescription medications, and opioids, their approach to illegal drugs through the War on Drugs has been even more destructive. Decades of prohibition, criminalization, and enforcement have created black markets, fueled organized crime, and often made addiction problems worse rather than better.From a psychological and libertarian perspective, we discuss how human behavior, incentives, and public policy intersect when it comes to drugs. Why do prohibition policies fail? What psychological realities about addiction do policymakers ignore? And why have some countries taken approaches that reduce harm more effectively?We also explore how alternative drug policies used around the world, including harm reduction and decriminalization strategies, have produced better outcomes than the traditional War on Drugs model.Topics discussed include:• The psychology of addiction• Government failure in drug policy• The unintended consequences of prohibition• The War on Drugs and black markets• Harm reduction and alternative drug policies• What libertarian principles say about drug legalization and personal libertyIf you're interested in psychology, economics, public policy, and libertarian philosophy, this episode offers a thoughtful discussion about why drug policy often goes wrong—and what could work better.Clip Used: Purdue Pharma's Sackler Family Opioid Deal in JeopardyBy: Judge Napolitano - Judging FreedomFollow Us:YouTubeXFacebookBlueskyAll audio & videos edited by: Jay Prescott Videography

Sadie takes us through the five categories of Crazy Fundie Rules, and how these rules affect your life when you are trying to live by them.

This week on The Whiskey Trip Podcast, Big Chief takes the ride with Dina Coker, founder of Lythgoe Bourbon, and Steffani Scheurich, the brand's Master Blender. Together they dive into the story behind a bourbon brand that is bold, confident, and completely unapologetic—just like the woman who inspired it. Lythgoe Bourbon draws its spirit from Gertrude "Cleo" Lythgoe, often called the Queen of the Bootleggers during Prohibition. Cleo was known for her fearless personality, sharp business mind, and refusal to play by anyone else's rules. That same unapologetic attitude lives inside every bottle of Lythgoe Bourbon today. The episode begins with Pauline's Victory, an 8-year-old Kentucky Straight Bourbon bottled at 90 proof. Elegant and balanced, this pour sets the tone for the first half of the conversation. It's refined yet confident, delivering classic bourbon notes with a smooth character that invites you to slow down and appreciate the craft behind it. As the glasses empty, Dina and Steffani talk about building a brand that honors the rebellious spirit of Cleo Lythgoe while celebrating the women helping shape the modern whiskey world. In the second half of the show, the crew pours the Founder's Collection, a 9-year-old four-grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon. With both rye and wheat in the mash bill, the whiskey creates a unique balance where sweet and spicy notes dance together in the glass. The wheat softens the edges while the rye brings the spice, creating a layered bourbon that highlights Steffani's artistry as a master blender. It's a conversation about history, bold women in whiskey, and the unapologetic spirit that built this brand from the ground up. Pour yourself a glass, sit back, and Take the Ride with Big Chief on this week's episode of The Whiskey Trip.

"Writing made me feel like I mattered — like I was taking up space in the universe that could be shared..” In this episode, Mike uncorks the story of historical fiction author Jane Loeb Rubin, whose career as a writer began with an unexpected catalyst: an ovarian cancer diagnosis. What started as a therapeutic memoir evolved into a multi‑book, award‑winning series exploring immigrant life, women's rights, early medical practices, and the tumultuous decades that shaped modern America. Jane shares how uncovering her great‑grandmother Tilly's forgotten story led her deep into history — from 19th‑century New York tenements to the battlefields and hospitals of World War I, and forward into Prohibition‑era Catskills and the cultural revolution of the 1960s. This episode is perfect for fans of historical fiction, family‑rooted storytelling, and the intersection of medicine, resilience, and creativity. Key Takeaways: How a cancer diagnosis launched Jane's writing journey, beginning with a memoir that helped her process trauma and preserve her legacy for future generations. The rediscovery of her great‑grandmother Tilly, whose lost history inspired a trilogy exploring immigrant life, women's health, and societal constraints in the late 1800s.  An inside look at Jane's meticulous world‑building, from New York's tenements to WWI medical units, blending her healthcare background with her passion for history. The surprising role of WWI in America's “melting pot,” including Jane's research into immigrant soldiers and real letters that shaped her storytelling.  A preview of Mayhem in the Mountains, a Prohibition‑era story featuring runaway children, Catskills farmland, gangsters, and local clashes with the KKK. Why writing remains therapeutic for Jane, keeping her grounded, purposeful, and creatively energized as she continues work on book five.  The cultural and personal forces driving her next novel, which journeys into the 1960s–70s to explore women's changing roles amid seismic social shifts.  Explore Jane's Books Amazon: https://amzn.to/4stLy4b Connect with Jane Website: https://www.janeloebrubin.com/ X: twitter.com/LoebRubin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/janeloebrubinauthor Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janeloebrubin/ Connect with Mike Website: https://uncorkingastory.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@uncorkingastory Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uncorkingastory/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uncorkingastory TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@uncorkingastory Twitter: https://twitter.com/uncorkingastory LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/uncorking-a-story/ If you like this episode, please share it with a friend.

Two hosts. Five facts. One theme that somehow manages to unite Hollywood, Wall Street, paleontology, Prohibition, and centuries of slang into a single, surprisingly coherent episode.This week on The Allegendly Podcast, we dive into the wide, weird world of PIGS — literal pigs, metaphorical pigs, financial pigs, prehistoric nightmare pigs, and the creative lengths humans will go to in order to drink, profit, or survive them.The hosts tackle:- A beloved movie star whose identity might be… more complicated than you remember- A police nickname with a history far older (and stranger) than modern cop shows- An economic acronym that caused an international meltdown- A prehistoric apex predator that looks like it crawled straight out of a metal album cover- A Prohibition loophole so clever it involved charging people to stare at a perfectly normal farm animalSome of these stories are absolutely true. Some are urban legends that refuse to die. And some sit right in that uncanny space where history feels like it's trolling us.It's pigs, politics, paleontology, and Prohibition — all wrapped into one delightfully chaotic guessing game.#AllegendlyPodcast #FactOrFake #WeirdHistory #ComedyPodcast #PigsEverywhere

Chuck Todd opens the episode with a blunt assessment: it's starting to feel like the beginning of the end of Donald Trump's presidency. From an open-ended war in Iran to a cratering stock market, Trump finds himself sinking deeper into what Chuck calls "presidential quicksand," with every show of strength only revealing more weakness. Chuck breaks down the staggering early costs of the Iran conflict — over 1,000 casualties and $6 billion spent in just one week — and asks the question no one in Washington seems willing to answer: does anyone actually have an exit strategy? On the economy, the latest jobs report is sending ominous signals. With slow growth, rising prices, and tariff uncertainty dominating the economic discourse, Chuck makes the case that the swing voters who put Trump back in the White House for his perceived economic expertise are the first ones who'll walk away when their wallets take the hit. Corporate America is also starting to find its backbone. From Anthropic refusing to strip safety guardrails to Netflix walking away from a bad deal, Chuck sees a telling pattern: companies are pushing back on a president who looks weak. Legendary documentarian Ken Burns joins the Chuck Toddcast for a sweeping conversation about American history, the craft of telling it honestly, and why historical perspective has never mattered more than it does right now. Burns addresses head-on the criticism that his work is "woke," arguing that his documentaries have a perspective but it's not left versus right — he wants to call balls and strikes, and the truth shouldn't be something people fear. He offers a striking defense of nuance, noting that the Republican Party has been the most successful political party on earth and that his life's work has been about making films about both the U.S. and "us" — the complicated, contradictory people who built and continue to shape the country. Burns discusses his latest project on the American Revolution, which he insists he didn't intentionally time to the 250th anniversary, and reveals he's also working on a film about Reconstruction and potentially a documentary on the Cold War. He walks through his rigorous process for evaluating source material, the challenge of needing great actors to bring the founders to life, and how those founders were obsessively focused on virtue — creating something genuinely new in human history while writing a Constitution brilliant enough to endure centuries but unable to foresee Congress voluntarily abdicating its own power. The conversation takes a fascinating philosophical turn as they explore the recurring patterns of American history: the manufacture of fear as a tool for authoritarians, the repeated failure of using government to force social change, and the way religion has been wielded as a cudgel by governments despite the founders being explicitly against a national religion. Burns offers a revealing window into his methodology, explaining that you need 25 to 30 years of distance before you can responsibly cover a historical subject, and that Trump's presidency has effectively constipated the scholarship on the Obama era because the two will be forever intertwined in history. He notes that views on Vietnam's legacy shifted vastly over decades, and that the passage of time is essential for triangulating toward truth — take historians for their knowledge, not always their perspective. Finally, Chuck takes an illuminating detour into his "Time Machine" segment, tracing how communication technology has permanently reshaped the American presidency, from Alexander Graham Bell’s first phone call, to FDR's fireside chats, all the way to Trump’s constant social media use. Plus, Chuck answers listener questions touching subjects like the potential similarities between Pearl Harbor and Trump’s Iran strikes, NIL in college sports, what's really going on with Democrats’ reactions to politicians like John Fetterman straying from the party line, and James Talarico’s bid for Congress.

In this episode, we're heading to the Prohibition era as we give our full review of Vital Lacerda's newest heavy-hitter, Speakeasy. We also catch up on what's been hitting our tables recently and wrap things up with a draft of our favorite titles from the legendary board game year of 2016

We trace the line from Shenk's 1753 Pennsylvania rye to a modern Kentucky rebirth, where low entry proof, heat-cycled warehouses, and uncompromising standards define how every bottle earns its label. Along the way, we revisit Fort Nelson memories, the bottle-your-own experience, and the friendships that make great pours even better.We sit with the choices that changed the trajectory of Michter's: rebuilding in Kentucky under Joe Magliocco, tapping legendary guidance from Dick Newman, and empowering Dan McKee and Andrea Wilson to release only what meets the mark. That means small batches around 20 barrels, single-barrel highlights, and the guts to skip the 10 Year when the whiskey isn't ready. We unpack why 103 proof going into the barrel deepens oak sweetness at approachable bottle proofs, and how heat-cycling keeps extraction alive through winter for a rounder mid-palate and cleaner finish.Tasting the 2019 Toasted Barrel Sour Mash brings the philosophy to life: cherry, maple, and toasted marshmallow on the nose; a light-to-medium body that still coats; honeyed sweetness with a snap of pepper; and a dry, medium finish. We also explore how Michter's helped popularize toasted barrel finishing, why age statements don't guarantee balance, and how homage releases like Shenk's and Bomberger's honor Pennsylvania roots while Fort Nelson Select grounds the present in Louisville. The result is a consistent, distinctive profile that collectors chase and newcomers can enjoy without a learning curve.If you love whiskey history, crave insight into maturation choices, or just want tasting notes you can use tonight, you'll feel right at home.

You'll learn what molasses was being used for, why shipments kept arriving after World War I, and how Prohibition played a surprising role in the story. We'll walk step by step through what caused the tank to fail, and how this disaster helped shape modern building inspections and safety codes.

    "What happens when we accept that impermanence is not a loss, but the very essence of life? In psychoanalysis, transience is often associated with mourning and the capacity to renew oneself. Inspired by Freud's 1916 essay and Japanese culture, Dr. Osamu Kitayama explores how impermanence can be a source of psychic vitality and creativity. Through myths like Izanaki-Izanami and traditional Japanese art, Kitayama invites us to reflect on the relationship between transience, mourning, and resilience. How can we find beauty in the ephemeral? Establishing transience as a key concept in Japanese psychoanalysis, Kitayama's work bridges Eastern and Western perspectives. This article is part of the book “Psychoanalytic Explorations into the Primal Relationship in Japan and India” (Routledge, 2025), a collaboration between Osamu Kitayama and Jhuma Basak exploring primal relationships in Japan and India through a cross-cultural psychoanalytic lens."     Osamu Kitayama is a Training and Supervising Analyst at the Japan Psychoanalytic Society, Professor Emeritus at Kyushu University and President of Hakuoh University. He served as President of the Japan Psychoanalytic Society from 2016-2019 and continues to work with patients in private practice. He has authored numerous articles on culturally oriented psychoanalysis and books such as Prohibition of Don't Look (2011)”. You can download a copy of the paper here.

What does it take to resurrect a pre-Prohibition whiskey brand while building one of America's most celebrated cocktail bars? Join us for a deep dive into the business of hospitality with Ryan Maybee, the Kansas City entrepreneur behind the legendary speakeasy Manifesto and the historic revival of J. Rieger & Co. Ryan pulls back the curtain on the operational realities of navigating federal regulators, raising capital for a distillery, and the five-year grind to bring a 100-year-old brand back from the dead. He shares hard-won lessons on partnership structures, the discipline of knowing your numbers, and why creating an entirely new whiskey category required as much business savvy as creative instinct. From surviving the pandemic to building a sprawling distillery campus with a 40-foot slide, Ryan offers an unvarnished look at the entrepreneurial roller coaster. Tune in for a masterclass in calculated risk, brand building, and the long game of leaving a lasting mark on an industry. This episode produced in association with J. Rieger & Co.   ____________________________________ Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.

Kentucky in March of 1926 stands at a threshold. Winter is loosening its grip, modern life is creeping in, and beneath the surface of everyday routines, tensions simmer. Automobiles share muddy roads with horses, radios crackle with distant voices, and Prohibition is officially enforced while quietly ignored.In this episode of Kentucky History & Haunts, we explore a month where gossip turns deadly, crime crosses state lines, and justice proves slippery at best.The “Bob-Haired Bandit” of Bell County Eighteen-year-old Helen Simpson disguises herself in men's clothing and robs a rural post office near Pineville. A torn dollar bill leads to her capture, and newspapers obsess over her appearance as much as the crime itself. Her sentence sends her far from home, to a women's institution in North Carolina.$100,000 in Diamonds Vanish on Louisville Streets A New York jewelry salesman is attacked in broad daylight near Fourth and Market Streets. The diamonds are never recovered. Nearly a year later, a nearly identical robbery happens again. What follows is a tangled web of suspects, deadlocked juries, alleged inside jobs, kidnappings, and one criminal who just won't stay out of the headlines.A Duel on Greasy Creek A respected schoolteacher, Virginia Skeens Coleman, kills her brother-in-law in a pistol duel after years of escalating accusations, courtroom battles, and family feuds. The case forces a community to confront gossip, reputation, and what self-defense looks like in rural Kentucky. The aftermath reshapes her life in unexpected ways.Moonshine by MoonlightA sheriff's child wakes with a cold in the middle of the night, setting off a chain of events that leads to the capture of a moonshiner, the destruction of sixteen half-gallons of liquor, and the confiscation of a mule. A small, almost humorous story that unfolds against the backdrop of serious political turmoil in Harlan County.Kentucky in March of 1926 is caught between seasons, between old rules and new ambitions, and between what is spoken openly and what unfolds in the shadows. And as always, when history pauses at a crossroads, the stories waiting there are anything but quiet.

Episode 450 of Friends Talking Nerdy kicks off March with a brand-new theme: History. And not the dry, memorize-the-dates kind. The messy, human, “why do we do this?” kind.The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd dive into the long, boozy tale of how drinking became welded to holiday celebrations. From ancient harvest festivals to Christmas parties that somehow end with someone crying in the kitchen, they explore how alcohol shifted from ritual offering to social lubricant to cultural expectation. Humans have been fermenting things since before we figured out plumbing. That's not an accident. Fermentation was chemistry, preservation, and mild euphoria all rolled into one bubbling clay pot.They break down why certain holidays seem incomplete without a drink in hand. Is it tradition? Marketing? Social pressure? A collective agreement that Uncle Gary is easier to handle with eggnog? The conversation wanders through how Americans tend to approach alcohol—often in big swings between indulgence and moral panic—compared to drinking cultures in parts of Europe and elsewhere, where alcohol can be more integrated into daily life rather than treated like a rebellious event.Then the episode zooms into the historical shockwaves of Prohibition. From the 18th Amendment to the unintended consequences of bootlegging and organized crime, they explore how attempts to legislate morality often create new problems. They also unpack the racial and xenophobic undercurrents that fueled Prohibition, including how anti-immigrant sentiment targeted communities associated with beer culture. History rarely behaves like a clean morality tale. It's usually more like a Jenga tower of good intentions and bad incentives.The conversation then fast-forwards to the War on Drugs and how its policies continue to shape incarceration rates, community trust, and public health conversations today. The Reverend Tracy and Tim The Nerd examine how racial disparities were baked into enforcement and how the ripple effects are still with us. Laws are not just words on paper; they're systems that echo for generations.But this episode isn't about wagging fingers or telling anyone to dump out their liquor cabinet. The heart of the conversation is introspective. When you reach for a drink at a holiday party, is it simply enjoyment? Ritual? Flavor? Community? Or is it covering anxiety, loneliness, or pressure? There's a big difference between mindful celebration and autopilot coping. The goal isn't prohibition 2.0. It's self-awareness.Episode 450 invites listeners to look at their own traditions with curiosity instead of judgment. Because history isn't just about what people did centuries ago. It's about the patterns we're still living inside today.History month is officially underway. And this one comes with a side of fermentation science and social psychology.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Welcome to episode 85 of the Hidden History of Texas, today I'm talking about one of the most Notorious Governors of Texas - James "PA" Ferguson. James Edward (Pa) Ferguson, Texas governor, was born in 1871 near Salado, which is in Bell County and is fairly close to where I am, to James Edward and Fannie (Fitzpatrick) Ferguson. Sadly, his father passed away when Pa was only four, and his mother, being a true strong Texas woman stayed on working the farm and he began working in the fields as a young boy. When he was 12, he entered Salado College, which was a local preparatory school, but in a sign of things to come, was expelled for disobedience. At age 16 he left home for a life on the road and wandered throughout the Western states, where he did any type of job he could find. Eventually he returned home to Bell County, where he tried farming and working on a  railroad-bridge gang. He did use this time to begin to study law and in 1897 he was admitted to the bar. He opened up a practice in Belton and then in 1899 he married Miriam A. Wallace. The couple had two children and since in those days lawyers weren't as busy as they are today, he expanded his personal interests to real estate and insurance. He then turned his attention to banking and for several years was not only a member of the Texas Bankers Association but also associated with the Farmers State Bank of Belton. In 1907 he moved his family to the larger town of Temple where he joined in the formation and establishment of the Temple State Bank. Needless to say, it was during this time period when he was involved with banking that he also took an active interest in county and local politics. In spite of the fact that he never held a local office he was very aware of how local politics worked. He was a staunch opponent of prohibition and had fought against allowing what was known as the local-option out of Bell County.  He served as a campaign manager for Robert V. Davidson in 1910 and worked with Oscar B. Colquitt in his successful gubernatorial campaign in 1912. Prohibition had been a major issue in the 1914 campaign, and there were candidates for the governor's race on both sides of the issue. The prohibitionists held an elimination convention and pledged their support to Thomas H. Ball of Houston. The anti-prohibitionists tried to have their own convention, but Ferguson, even though he had been identified as an anti-prohibitionist, refused to publicly support it. As a result, the leaders at the convention was not able to eliminate him from receiving their endorsement and while they did not endorse him the other anti-prohibition candidates withdrew from the race. Due to his popularity Ferguson easily won the nomination by a majority of about 40,000 votes. Ferguson proved to be one of the more captivating speakers and had a native ability to persuade people. He was a masterful public speaker. His most popular and talked about proposition was a law that would actually limit how much rent a landlord could charge. For the folks who were known as “tenant farmers” this proved to be very popular. It was not popular among landowners, and he tried to assure landowners that the law would prove to be beneficial to everyone. After his election he was successful in getting the law passed, but it was soon declared unconstitutional. During his term the state began to provide aid to rural schools and there was enacted a relatively minor law that required compulsory school attendance. He was in favor of helping schools, and colleges were permitted to begin building programs. In order to pay for everything, educational appropriation bills were more generous than usual. Needless to say, these changes increased the ad valorem tax rate for state purposes advanced from 12½ to 30 cents. The prison system increased its landownership and since Texas had many ‘prison farms' the system benefited from the rising price of farm commodities. During World War I the system became self-sustaining and profitable. In 1916 Ferguson's reelection seemed almost a certainty. The prohibitionists decided to support a relatively unknown Charles H. Morris of Winnsboro. The major issues of the campaign were prohibition, the tax rate, and certain  rumors concerning the Ferguson administration. Regardless of the rumors, Ferguson was reelected by a majority of about 60,000 votes, but there was enough opposition to show that many Texans were not completely pleased with his administration. His second administration did little of consequence, except pass enough appropriation bills to force the tax rate to rise to the constitutional maximum of 35 cents. This is when old Pa made a serious mistake. He got involved in a quarrel with the University of Texas.  Turns out the board of regents refused to fire some faculty members that the governor didn't like. Well, he threw a Texas sized temper tantrum and vetoed almost the entire appropriation for the university. Needless to say, this generated a lot of news and interest, but it also sparked a desire from some members of the legislature to conduct an impeachment trial. Remember how, I said that during the campaign there had been rumors about some issues with his administration? Well while preliminary investigations failed to uncover any charge that would merit impeachment, once he became embroiled in his dispute with the university, those old charges bubbled back to the surface. Coincidently at about the same time a number of new charges were made and on July 21, 1917, Ferguson was called before the Travis County grand jury. To the surprise of no one the grand jury announced that he had been indicted on nine charges. Seven of the charges related to misapplication of public funds, one to embezzlement, and one to the diversion of a special fund. He posted a $13,000 bond and announced his candidacy for a third term as governor. The speaker of the House decided to call a special session of the legislature, (remember the legislature in Texas only meets every 2 years) to consider charges of impeachment against the governor. While the speaker's call was most likely not legal (only the governor can call a special session) Ferguson removed any doubt by himself calling the legislature to meet for the purpose of making appropriations for the University of Texas. This backfired-on Ferguson because the House immediately turned its attention to the numerous charges against him and ended up preparing twenty-one articles of impeachment. After a three-week trial in the senate, he was convicted on ten of the charges. On five of them he was convicted of misapplication of public funds, of course 3 of those were related to his quarrel with the University. One of them stated that he had failed to properly respect and enforce the banking laws. And the third charged that he had received $156,500 in currency from a source that he refused to reveal. Nine of the charges can be described as violations of the law, while the obtaining of $156,500 from a secret source while not legal was absolutely not good policy for a governor. He was removed from office by a vote of twenty-five to three and declared him ineligible to hold any office of honor, trust, or profit under the state of Texas. Fighting to the end Ferguson declared that the legislature constituted little more than a "kangaroo court," except that just a couple of months before the House and the Senate had refused to sustain charges against him. He believed that his  removal from office was far from certain when the legislature convened in special session. However, he underestimated the seriousness of his quarrel with the University of Texas. He resigned his office the day before the judgment was announced and contended that it did not apply to him. The question was eventually carried into the courts, where the judgment of the Court of Impeachment was sustained. While in many cases, being impeached and made ineligible to hold any office of trust or profit in the state would spell an end to a person's political life; this was not the case for PA. In 1918 he sought the Democratic party nomination for the governorship but was defeated by William P. Hobby. In 1920 he was an unsuccessful candidate for President on his own American party ticket. In 1922 he was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States Senate. Finally In 1924, unable to run under his own name, he ran his wife's campaign for the governorship against Judge Felix Robertson, the candidate endorsed by the Ku Klux Klan. The Fergusons beat Robertson and went to the Governor's Mansion for a third time. Two years later they lost a reelection bid amid new scandals concerning excessive pardons and political patronage abuses.   James Ferguson died on September 21, 1944, and was buried in the State Cemetery in Austin. Next time I'll take a look at Ma Ferguson as our look at some of the most notorious governors of Texas. This is the Hidden History Of Texas

“I like to be a team player. All the projects I do are collaborations. And I want to solicit the opinions and help of other people.” — MadonnaIn this episode we explore Madonna's work as part of an ensemble, where her screen presence shifts from center stage to something looser, sharper, and often more playful.First we visit Bloodhounds of Broadway, a strange, stylish Prohibition-era anthology packed with eccentrics, jazz, and theatrical energy. Madonna appears as Hortense Hathaway, drifting through smoky nightclubs and overlapping storylines in a film that feels less like a traditional movie and more like a late-night fever dream.Then we head to A League of Their Own, where Madonna's Mae Mordabito steals scenes with confidence, comedy, and unforgettable locker-room energy. We talk about why this role works so well for her, how the film balances multiple storylines, and what it reveals about Madonna as a character actor inside a beloved ensemble classic. To help us unpack the film's tone, performances, and where Madonna fits inside its chaos, we're joined once again by friend of the pod (check her out in our episode on Dick Tracey), MERRY GRISSOM!

Welcome back to The Bourbon Road! This week, Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter are back in the Corner Rickhouse at the Frankfort Bourbon Society for a classic review episode. With a lineup of four highly distinct and highly anticipated expressions, the guys are ready to dive deep into some serious tasting, ranking, and blending. Before the tasting begins, Jim shares a quick story about a trip to the Perryville Battlefield State Historic Site with his father, reflecting on the weight of history and the value of experiencing it firsthand. They also take a moment to shout out the Bourbon on the Banks festival in Frankfort. Thanks to the support of the Bourbon Roadies and the local community, the event recently distributed over $100,000 to local charities. (Pro tip: Tickets for this year's event go on sale in mid-March, so plan ahead!) Then, it is time to get to the whiskey. This week's tasting mat is an eclectic mix of sourced blends, historic tributes, and boundary-pushing ryes: Short Barrel 4-Grain Kentucky Straight Bourbon: This 92-proof everyday sipper is an NDP blend out of Atlanta. It combines a wheated bourbon from Wilderness Trail (64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley) with a rye bourbon from Green River (70% corn, 21% rye, 9% malted barley). The final blend leans heavily on the wheat, delivering a soft, floral nose and a palate reminiscent of honey, sweet tea, and toasted cereal. Old SteelHouse Blueprint Series Batch 002: Sourced entirely from Wilderness Trail, this 105-proof wheated bourbon (64% corn, 24% wheat, 12% malted barley) is aged 5 years. Created as a tribute to the 1933 architectural plans of the T.W. Samuels Distillery, it offers a darker, richer profile than the first pour, with notes of dark fruit, leather, and a surprisingly spicy, pepper-forward finish. High West Cask Strength Blend of Straight Bourbon Whiskeys: Hailing from Park City, Utah, this 117-proof blend combines whiskeys aged 6 to 20 years from Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee. Jim and Todd are blown away by its complex nose of fresh hay, wet stone, and Dickel-esque vitamins, giving way to a bold, chewy palate full of dark cherry, peanut butter, and baking spice. Leopold Bros. Three Chamber Rye (Batch 001): The grand finale is a highly anticipated 109-proof rye from Denver, Colorado. Distilled on a custom-built Three Chamber still—a design abandoned after Prohibition—this 80% Abruzzi rye and 20% floor-malted barley whiskey boasts a remarkably low barrel entry proof of 100. It delivers an intense, grain-forward profile bursting with floral potpourri, licorice, and rye bread notes. After sipping through the lineup, Jim and Todd reveal their personal rankings—and find themselves completely split on the top two spots! To close out the show, Todd creates a "Boo-Rye" blend in his glass, combining the Short Barrel, Old SteelHouse, and High West to see how the flavors marry. Tune in to hear the final tasting notes and find out if this impromptu blend was a winner. Be sure to check out our private Facebook group, "The Bourbon Roadies" for a great group of bourbon loving people. You will be welcomed with open arms!

Al Capone came to the head of the Chicago Outfit at 26 years of age. Now leading the largest organized crime family outside of New York, Al made a fortune by bootlegging in liquor during prohibition. He definitely did all the other mob stuff, Gambling, Sex Work, Racketeering, but booze is where he hit it big. Fighting for control of the lucrative alcohol game spilled onto the streets of Chicago in a way that hadn't and still hasn't been seen. This was a time when you'd be walking down Michigan Avenue and see 4 guys jump out of a car in broad days light and open up with Tommy Guns trying to bump off a rival leader. Bombings were commonplace, and almost the entire law enforcement establishment was on the take, bought and paid for by Capone. Finally the Federal Government has to step in to take him down. How'd they do it?....well you're gonna have to listen to find out. Support the show

Open a whiskey magazine, newspaper, or check out your social media feed and you're sure to hear plenty of doom and gloom around the current whiskey market. There seem to be demons hiding in the bushes everywhere. Scapegoats include over-supply, over-confidence, speculation, poor management, inflation, capital constraints, tariffs, changing tastes like shifts to RTDs, hemp drinks, a rise in tequila popularity, or the younger generations seeming disinterested in drinking alcohol. And these are just the most popular. I've heard it over and over, we're heading for another whiskey depression (comparing this time to the 80s and 90s when whiskey fell out of favor). For some, it is just a matter of time, after all, history repeats, doesn't it? Join me as we take a look back on the trials and tribulations of the 20th century post-Prohibition whiskey industry, to see if there are any clues as to where our current industry is heading. WHISKEY STORIES ARE BACK! Cheers and slainte mhath, Drew

In today's political climate, the term gender-affirming care is often framed as controversial and used synonymously with “transgender for everyone.” In reality, gender-affirming care includes a wide range of medical, mental health, and supportive services that both cisgender and transgender people access every day to align their bodies, health, and well-being with their gender.In this episode, we're exploring what gender-affirming care actually is, its history and evolution, and the medical and political landscape shaping the conversation today.Additional Resources:Read Besties in CrimeGender Incongruence and Transgender Health in the ICDGender-Affirming Care for Cisgender People: Q&A with Theodore Schall and Jacob MosesTo Protect Gender-Affirming Care, We Must Learn From Trans HistoryWhat is Gender Dysphoria?Magnus Hirschfeld and the Quest for Sexual Freedom: A History of the First International Sexual Freedom Movement (Critical Studies in Gender, Sexuality, and Culture)Elmer Belt, Harry Benjamin, and the Birth of Gender-Affirming Surgery in the United StatesTransgender Health Protections Reversed By Trump AdministrationPuberty Blockers for Transgender and Gender-Diverse YouthWhat are Puberty Blockers?

Join Jeff on Right On Radio for a wide-ranging, faith-first episode that blends Bible teaching, current events, and provocative cultural analysis. Jeff opens with schedule notes—Bible study, an upcoming Sunday show, and a Saturday night prayer meeting on Telegram—then reads a listener's health testimony about a mushroom protocol and offers practical dosing advice and affiliate/contact instructions for listeners new to the product. The program's Word of the Day segment pits Proverbs 17:9 against Acts 20:24 and invites listeners to weigh forgiveness versus perseverance in ministry. From there the show moves into hard-hitting commentary on the media and politics: a critical look at the Savannah Guthrie story, historical context about Rockefeller, Prohibition, and Big Oil's influence on medicine, and a discussion of the Club of Rome's First Global Revolution and elite agendas. Jeff plays and analyzes clips from a variety of sources—featuring voices such as Whitney Webb, Gene Ho, Frank Vaughan, and excerpts involving Donald Trump, Savannah Guthrie, and Laura Trump—and ties them into themes of global influence, secrecy, and spiritual warfare. Key items covered include the Epstein/Prince Andrew developments, alleged election irregularities and ballot access in Fulton County, and the persistent 45–47 continuity/tribunal theory. The episode addresses international flashpoints and national security concerns—tension with Iran, China's relationship with Iran and farmland ownership by influential figures, and a controversial Canadian policy to recruit skilled foreign military applicants for permanent residence. Jeff connects these geopolitical stories to larger spiritual and cultural trends, describing a battle he calls “dark to light.” Social and cultural controversies are also examined, including a reaction to a violent Canadian stabbing case and questions about bail decisions, as well as a critique of certain end-times prophetic movements (the NAR/"Joel's army" teaching). Jeff discusses UFO disclosures, the possibility of declassification, and scriptural perspectives on fallen angels versus extraterrestrial narratives. Throughout, Jeff weaves personal conviction and urgency—calling listeners to maintain their immune health, to engage in prayer, and to be spiritually discerning about news, miracles, and political theater. He highlights how spirit-level dynamics manifest in earth-level politics and cultural upheaval, urging listeners to stay rooted in scripture. The episode closes with a short, encouraging devotional clip from Gene Ho about early-morning prayer habits in the lives of biblical leaders, a reminder of community prayer opportunities on Telegram, and a final exhortation to love God, family, and neighbor.

A rail town bar with a brothel upstairs. A mob-friendly speakeasy with a basement meant for settling scores. A fire that nearly erased it all—and a renovation that seemed to wake the house. We head to the Old Baraboo Inn in Wisconsin to pull the thread on a history that refuses to fade and the hauntings that line up a little too neatly with the past.We start with the Inn's origins and its connection to Chicago via the rail line, then move into the Prohibition years: poker downstairs, liquor flowing, enforcers on duty, and an execution pole that still bears scars. From there, we follow the 1988 blaze, the decade of silence, and BC Farr's painstaking rebuild that reopened the doors in 2002 and, by many accounts, stirred the spirits. Along the way, we hear about Mary—the saloon dancer—seen twirling by the jukebox, the knock-and-pace presence in the upstairs hall, and a basement entity that shows preference with the walk-in cooler door.The stories are specific: cigar smoke with no source, a barstool flipping, batteries draining, a sudden cold hand to the leg. We interrogate claims of an EVP from Al Capone and the ethical puzzle of alleged child spirits, asking whether some presences borrow familiar forms to lower our guard. Throughout, we balance history with investigation, weighing what can be verified against what simply fits the building's lived habits. No grand answers, no experts—just careful curiosity, grounded context, and a willingness to leave space for the unknown.If you're drawn to haunted bars, mob history, and the strange ways places remember, this one belongs on your list.

In this guest-hosted episode of The Andrew Gasser Show, Clay Edwards and Shaun Yurtkuran tackle Mississippi's liquor distribution crisis at the ABC warehouse, where a catastrophic backlog—stemming from a botched software rollout, the removal of an outdated conveyor system without a replacement, and a hasty switch to a pallet-based order fulfillment—has left over 200,000 cases of liquor undelivered despite prepaid orders. They explore the devastating impacts on bars, restaurants, and casinos, including tied-up capital, shrinking inventories, and potential closures or job losses in an industry that employs thousands statewide. The duo proposes short-term fixes like hotshot deliveries, scheduled will-calls, and increased manpower, while advocating for long-term privatization through distributors to remove government inefficiency. Drawing on historical roots from post-Prohibition moral codes and illegal "Gold Coast" operations, they discuss how the debacle could reshape the 2027 gubernatorial race, forcing candidates to address economic fallout and moral dilemmas in a conservative state.

The filmmaker John Sayles (“Eight Men Out”, “The Brother From Another Planet”) returns for his 3rd visit. In addition to the 18 feature films he has written and directed, he is also a longtime author of novels. His latest, “Crucible” is now available where books are sold. From the Oscar-nominated filmmaker comes a complex and sweeping historical novel about Henry Ford — the Elon Musk of his day — and his attempt to rule not only an automotive empire but the rambunctious city of Detroit. It is an epic tale ranging from the 1920s through the second World War, featuring violent labor disputes, misbegotten jungle expeditions, a tragic race riot, and the gestapo tactics of Ford's private army . . . Already the gateway for illegal Canadian liquor during Prohibition, the Motor City becomes a crucible for American class conflict during the Great Depression, with an army of laid off Ford workers drifting into the ranks of the burgeoning union movement — Henry Ford’s worst nightmare. To keep the hundreds of thousands still employed by him in thrall, the man who was formerly ‘America’s favorite tycoon’ recruits black laborers migrating from the deep South to serve as ‘strike insurance’, and gives Harry Bennett, pugnacious as he is diminutive, free reign over the legion of barroom brawlers and ex-cons who make up the company's ‘Security Department’. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_cHq5UhYRI The Model T mogul has also bought a sizable chunk of Brazil’s Amazonian rainforest, vowing to grow his own rubber for tires, but stubbornly refusing to include a botanist in his troop of would-be jungle tamers. As a series of biological plagues descend on the Fordlandia plantation, the racial melting pot he has created in Detroit begins to boil over, and not even the Sage of Dearborn can control the forces that have been unleashed. The novel’s cast — Ford workers black and white and their families, young radicals, cynical newsmen, gangsters, Brazilian rubber tappers, cameos from boxer Joe Louis and muralist Diego Rivera — create the tapestry of differing points of view that John Sayles has become famous for, the events portrayed fundamental to the country we live in today.

Nigel and Nick head to J. Rieger & Co. in Kansas City's east bottoms to sit down with co-founder Ryan Maybee for one of the most remarkable in Kansas City history. Ryan traces how he stumbled onto the forgotten legacy of Jacob Rieger, a 19th-century immigrant who built the largest mail-order whiskey house in the United States, only to be shut down by Prohibition in 1919. A century later, Ryan — then a bartender and bar owner who'd helped spark KC's craft cocktail scene with his underground bar Manifesto — decided to bring it all back. He shares a chance encounter with the last living Rieger descendant and the years developing an authentic pre-Prohibition blend before launching the brand during the Royals' 2014 World Series run with zero employees. Since then, the company has transformed a crumbling east bottoms warehouse into a 10,000-square-foot distillery destination drawing nearly 200,000 guests a year. It's a conversation about history, hospitality, civic pride, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

Give to help Chris make Truce Tim LaHaye wrote different kinds of books. Books on marriage, sexuality, the end times, and those involved in social and political movements. In his young years, Tim LaHaye taught for the John Birch Society. His conspiratorial view of the world carried over into his theology, evidenced by the Left Behind series, as well as the topic of the show today, The Battle for the Mind. Published in 1980, this little book takes a negative view of humanism. He defines humanism as, essentially, everything that has gone with society in the last 2,000 years. It's a very broad, almost useless definition. Humanism is actually a movement that started in Northern Italy around the 1200s, which tries to lift up the value of the human person. That takes a lot of different shapes, from secular or atheistic humanism to Christian humanism. In fact, as we argue in the episode, LaHaye's view misses the positive ways that humanism has shaped the United States and evangelicalism. My guest today is Dr. Darrell Bock. He is the author or editor of over 45 books, including commentaries on Luke and Acts. He is the Executive Director of Cultural Engagement and Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. He's also a host of DTS' podcast The Table.

In 1920, a young Al Capone arrived in Chicago looking for a fresh start, and his timing couldn't have been better. That same year, Prohibition outlawed the manufacture and sale of alcohol, turning America's thirst into a criminal gold rush. Chicago quickly became the epicenter of bootlegging, and Capone was determined to seize the moment and make himself rich beyond imagination. But the city was already crowded with ambitious gangsters chasing the same prize. As rival bootleggers carved up territory, Chicago descended into a violent turf war that would reshape the criminal underworld.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
