Podcasts about Prohibition

Love in the Lav series. Episode #4 of 4. The late 1920s birthed what would become a defining cultural phenomenon—the "pansy craze"—when LGBTQ+ culture burst into mainstream American entertainment from the late 1920s through the early 1930s. The smoky haze of Prohibition-era speakeasies provided the perfect backdrop for drag queens, called "pansy performers,” to be catapulted into underground stardom, with major cities like New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami serving as epicenters of this unprecedented visibility and acceptance. As illegal liquor flowed freely, patrons witnessed titillating new performances by gender nonconforming entertainers that challenged social conventions. Elaborate gowns and carefully applied makeup caught the dim lights as "pansies" mesmerized audiences with their wit, sensuality, and gender rebellion.

Welcome back to the conclusion of my interview with Author and Retired DEA Special Agent Léo Silva.Leo Silva spent over twenty-eight years on the frontlines of the global war on drugs as a special agent with the DEA. Leo's journey took him from the alleyways of Fronton Street to some of the most dangerous corners of North America, leading high-impact investigations against the Zeta and Gulf Cartels.He served as the Resident Agent in Charge of the DEA's Monterrey office, overseeing complex, cross-border operations that resulted in hundreds of high-value arrests and multi-million-dollar asset seizures. Over the course of his decorated career, he also held leadership roles in McAllen, Texas, and Guadalajara, Mexico—pioneering collaborative missions with Mexican authorities and helping rewrite the playbook for modern narco enforcement.Now, Leo has turned his attention to storytelling. His debut memoir, Reign of Terror, offers a powerful, unfiltered look at the reality behind the headlines—a world of corruption, courage, and the personal cost of justice. The book has gained traction internationally and has been translated into Spanish for a Latin American release.Leo is truly the real deal. This is a guy who has worked undercover numerous times in America and went after some of the most dangerous Mexican drug cartels. Please enjoy my chat with Leo Silva. In today's episode we discuss:· Having no diplomatic immunity and not being allowed to have a firearm while working in Mexico hunting down drug cartels.· The different drug cartels in Mexico that were active while Silva was working there.· The Zeta drug cartel.· The horrifying Bengal Tiger incident.· How Silva navigated the corruption and the levels or tiers of Mexican police and how he worked with them?· Using shock and awe!

Once it's done, I'll send you a copy This week, we journey back to the early 1900s—a time when the first wave of Sicilian immigrants brought more than just dreams of opportunity to America. They also brought with them an age-old criminal code that would lay the foundation for the American Mafia as we know it. Our story begins with the Mustache Petes—those old-world mafiosi who preyed on their own immigrant communities through intimidation, extortion, and a cunning knack for organized crime. One of their earliest rackets? Counterfeiting.

In this episode of the Restaurant Owners Uncorked podcast, Wil Brawley talks with Seth Watson, the founder of Distillery of Modern Art in Atlanta. Seth shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching a production and event design business out of a garage to eventually building a one-of-a-kind distillery that blends spirits, art, and community. He opens up about why he left his first business, how he navigated outdated Georgia alcohol laws, and why he built a distillery with multiple revenue streams: a cocktail bar, an art gallery, an event space, and a production facility. Seth also discusses the lessons he's learned about ego, iteration, and surrounding himself with smart people, while offering fascinating insights into bourbon, gin, and the modern spirits landscape.Key Takeaways: From Garage to 400+ Events a Year: Seth's first business in event production started in a garage and grew into a full-scale company handling hundreds of large-scale events annually. Exit Fueled by Values Misalignment: After 17 years and increasing tension with a 50/50 partner, Seth exited the business to preserve his sanity and avoid letting resentment fester. Control Matters: Seth learned the hard way that 50/50 partnerships often don't work. He now maintains control in any business he leads. Birth of a Unique Concept: Distillery of Modern Art combines a distillery, cocktail bar, art gallery, and event space—all designed around Seth's love for whiskey and modern art. Navigating Georgia's Arcane Liquor Laws: Seth had to build his distillery concept while lobbying against outdated post-Prohibition laws that limited direct-to-consumer sales. Whiskey Meets Art: The subjectivity of both whiskey and art inspired the distillery's brand and mission: create a sensory and aesthetic experience, not just a product. Producer for Other Brands: In addition to his own spirits, Seth's team produces over 40 products for 18 other brands across the U.S., offering a more personal and flexible alternative to large manufacturers like MGP. No Ego in Product Development: Seth scrapped his original gin recipe when taste tests failed—not because he didn't like it, but because customers didn't. Craft Over Hype: Seth values drinkability and authenticity over branding. He prefers bottles like Michter's over hyped-up names like Pappy Van Winkle. Committed to Community: From supporting small farmers to featuring local artists (commission-free), Seth backs up his community-first philosophy with action. Owner Mentality, Not Exit Mentality: Like the Yingling family, Seth isn't chasing a fast exit. He wants to build a sustainable, generational business—possibly passing it on to his children one day.

Who doesn't like beer? Lots of people, apparently. As Americans sought to remedy the ills plaguing their society, beer was caught in the cross hairs. We tell the story of how the American beer industry rose to defend itself against Progressive Era reforms in a decades-long fight.

Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

Ok we have talked stills in the past. But never 3 chamber stills. They are unique and different and tend to make a very oily and viscous whiskey. Check it out, sorry it was raining hard in the shed so the mic might be a little hot or laggy. I tried to clean it up.Badmotivatorbarrels.com/shop/?aff=3https://www.instagram.com/zsmithwhiskeyandmixology?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MWZ4dGp2MzlucjVvdw==Patreon.com/the_whiskeyshamanA three-chamber still is a type of distillation apparatus, historically used for producing whiskey, particularly rye, in the mid-1800s and early 1900s. It features three separate chambers stacked vertically, each with a specific role in the distillation process. These stills are known for producing a heavier-bodied, aromatic spirit due to the way they extract flavor compounds. Here's a breakdown of the three-chamber still:Design:The still consists of a tall, column-like structure, often made of wood or copper, divided into three chambers. Function:Freshly fermented mash (or distiller's beer) is fed into the top chamber. Steam, generated from the bottom chamber, heats the mash, and vapor containing alcohol and flavor compounds rises to the next chamber. Each chamber has a valve for liquid to flow down to the chamber below. Extraction:The bottom chamber, initially filled with water and then with spent mash, is where steam extracts heavier oils and flavor compounds. Output:The vapor from the bottom chamber then passes through the middle and top chambers, stripping out alcohol and flavor from the mash in each. Historical Use:Three-chamber stills were popular for producing rye whiskey in the mid-1800s but largely disappeared after Prohibition. Why they are used:Flavor profile:Three-chamber stills are known for producing a heavy-bodied, oily, and aromatic spirit, often with lavender-like notes, making them suitable for rye whiskey. Efficiency:The design allows for efficient extraction of flavor compounds from the mash, resulting in a flavorful distillate. Batch process:Three-chamber stills are typically used in a batch process, meaning they are not continuously running, allowing for careful fractionation of heads, hearts, and tails. Modern Revival:Three-chamber stills are making a comeback in some distilleries as distillers seek to recreate the unique flavor profiles of pre-prohibition spirits. Leopold Bros is a notable example of a distillery reviving this style, using a meticulously engineered three-chamber still to produce their signature Three Chamber Rye. Leopold Bros Three Chamber RyeThe Revivial of a Lost American TraditionLeopold Bros. painstakingly re-engineered a Three Chamber Still from old manuscripts and grew the heritage grain Abruzzi rye that was favored by Pre-Prohibition distillers to resurrect this one-of-a-kind whiskey. ​The 2022 summer release of the Three Chamber Rye is a Single Barrel offering. Todd Leopold worked through our dunnage warehouse, searching for the best barrels that are at least 5 years old.He found some commonalities: rich aromas of peanut shell, maple syrup, cocoa nibs, and hazelnuts followed by wafts of fruits like plum, cherries, apricot and orange marmalade. In the finish, you will find the floral notes that are the hallmarks of Three Chamber Rye: lavender, rose, elderflower, and chamomile. Each barrel he selected has differing intensities of these notes and thus every bottle from this collection is marked with the barrel number and the date the barrel was filled. We hope you enjoy this rebirth of an American classic as much as we enjoyed making it.

During the Prohibition era of the 1920s and early 1930s, speakeasies and gin joints were the place to be to get ahold of “evil booze.” How did the government try to control access? They purposely poisoned industrial alcohol that was being repurposed for cocktails. It wound up killing and maiming tens of thousands of would-be partiers!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this captivating episode of The Bourbon Road, hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter sit down with Rabbit Hole founder Kaveh Zamanian at the distillery's stunning downtown Louisville location for a twofold journey: one through the glass, and one through time. Their guest isn't just a master distiller and entrepreneur — he's now an author, and his new book, Mother of Bourbon: The Greatest American Whiskey Story Never Told, brings the remarkable story of Mary Dowling into the spotlight. As the episode unfolds, Kaveh shares how a footnote in an old text sparked years of research into Dowling's forgotten legacy. A pioneering woman who ran successful distilleries, survived Prohibition by moving operations to Mexico, and may have influenced the 1964 congressional act recognizing bourbon as America's native spirit — Dowling's story is equal parts myth, grit, and American ingenuity. Zamanian's book gives her the recognition she never received… until now. But this isn't just a history lesson — it's also a tasting session. The team begins with the Mary Dowling Wheated Bourbon, a 93-proof pour made from 65% corn, 25% wheat, and 10% malted barley. Aged in toasted and charred barrels and barreled at a low 110 proof, the whiskey surprises with bright cherry, cereal grain, and soft spice notes. With its luxurious mouthfeel and balanced finish, it reflects the same craft and care Zamanian brought to the storytelling in his book. Listeners also get a sneak peek into the upcoming Tequila Barrel-Finished Mary Dowling expression, inspired by Dowling's cross-border Prohibition-era distilling. Though not tasted in this episode, it's clear this release continues the theme of honoring history through bold innovation. Between sips and stories, Kaveh walks listeners through the serendipitous acquisition of the Dowling and Waterfill & Frazier trademarks, his connections to descendants of Robert Gould (former owner of what became Wild Turkey), and the deep creative process that brought both whiskey and book to life. Whether you're a bourbon buff, a history enthusiast, or simply love a great story in your glass and on your shelf, this episode is a masterclass in how legacy, craftsmanship, and storytelling can beautifully collide.

Western Georgia, 1946. Years after Prohibition ended, illegal stills are still in operation, fueled by vast amounts of money and corruption, far removed from the portrayal of good old boy exploits seen on TV and in movies. In this era of moonshine and deceit, it is the responsibility of the Georgia Revenue Agents to identify and shut down these illicit operations and to arrest those involved. As danger and fear escalate, a murder heightens the tension, igniting a pursuit of justice that drags women, children, and those sworn to uphold the law into the line of fire.  Drawing on the stories told by his grandfather, a Revenue Agent, and his extensive research into the unfolding events and the lives impacted by this turmoil, Chris Skates speaks with Jill about his book, Moonshine Over Georgia- a perfect summer read by the pool or at the beach!   ANNOUNCEMENT!   JILL WILL BE ON CREATORS ROW AT CRIMECON DENVER 2025, SEPT 5-7, 2025!  NEED TO BUY A BADGE?  USE JILL'S CODE  murdershelf  AND GET 10% OFF!  https://www.crimecon.com/CC25  SEE YOU IN DENVER MURDER BOOKIES!    BUY Moonshine Over Georgia by Chris Skates on AMAZON!

In this episode of The Cole Memo, Cole sits down with economist Beau Whitney of Whitney Economics to unpack the complex realities behind cannabis market structures. From price elasticity and licensing limits to the rising tension between hemp and marijuana regulation, Beau explains what the data really shows. They also tackle how market access, consolidation, and criminal enforcement intersect with public policy — and why some legalization efforts may be reinforcing old injustices. If you've ever wondered whether high cannabis prices are policy-driven, or why hemp has become such a lightning rod, this conversation is for you.

A Kent woman says she's been forced back into homelessness and is “living out of carrier bags” after being “kicked out” of her makeshift home.Kelly Cardwell said her life was finally getting back on track after a year of sofa surfing when she found a converted garage room to rent – but council have told her she has to leave. Also in today's podcast, we've been hearing from a Kent charity, on how to spot the subtle signs of alcohol dependency in the work place.It's a new campaign from the Kenward Trust in Yalding - which will feature real life stories from people who alcohol use impacted their working lives. A new inclusion centre will open in Kent next month, to help support children with additional needs who are struggling in mainstream education. The Daffodil Project will offer programs for so-called "corridor kids" - who are at risk of being left behind or isolated because of unmet needs.Fierce objections have been raised against plans for 45 houses and a 66-bedroom care home on a farmer's fields with a neighbour claiming it will “absolutely spoil” the town.The proposed development, which also includes the potential to transfer land to Sandwich Technology School for a new sports pitch, has been put to council. And kmfm's campaign to replenish food banks in Kent during the summer holiday is back for 2025.Last year, you donated more than 9-point 2 tonnes of tins that were distributed across the county – on today's podcast you car hear from one of the charities who will benefit.

If you have spent any time at all in the wine trade...even if you have just visited the wine section of your favorite market; you know, have seen and recognize the name Sebastiani. They are one of the original Sonoma county wine families and August is the 4th generation. He makes an interesting point that traditionally in the Italian culture, the firstborn son that gets the name of the founding family member, in this case, it was the 4th generation son. But don't let the family history fool you into thinking this is old school, archaic thinking wine approach; nothing could be further from the truth. Few winery names are as steeped in Sonoma lore as Sebastiani, but August Sebastiani himself is as approachable as a bottle of his family's famed Zinfandel. Tune into this episode and you'll discover why. You'll be privy to a firsthand account of American winemaking's intersection with immigration, family legacy, and relentless innovation, as August peels back the layers of his family's journey from Tuscan stone mason beginnings to California wine empire. You'll hear how his great-grandfather started with nothing but a trowel and a dream, made his fortune in rocks after San Francisco's great earthquake, and how the generations that followed grew that spirit into an industry force—pivoting from stones to grapes, from bulk to premium, and always with a nod to their roots. August shares candid stories of sibling rivalry among winemaking families, the hard lessons learned from Prohibition, and the offbeat path that nearly led him away from wine. Whether wrangling city council duties in between harvests or tending to the next generation of wine drinkers, August reveals how both tradition and restless creativity fuel Three Badge Beverage Corporation's quest for relevance in a marketplace that's constantly shifting underfoot. You'll learn why packaging matters as much as what's in the bottle, what innovation actually looks like for a multigenerational wine business, and why sometimes, the key to success is simply listening—whether it's to a bartender's take on what's trending or a customer's unvarnished truth. Walk away from this episode with intimate knowledge of how the Sebastiani family has continually reinvented itself, how legacy and bold experimentation coexist, and why August believes you sometimes have to run to the front of the parade and pretend you've been leading it all along.   Three Badge Beverage Corporation (Three Badge) Website: https://threebadge.com Sebastiani Vineyards Website: https://www.sebastiani.com Don Sebastiani & Sons Website: https://donsebastianiandsons.com Wine of the Month Club Website: https://www.wineofthemonthclub.com B.R.

Pour vous abonner et écouter l'émission en une fois, sans publicité : https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Ça démarre toujours comme ça Par une bonne intention.Alors, on veut sauver les hommes de l'alcool, protéger les familles, ramener l'ordre moral.On veut guérir l'Amérique.Mais ce que les États-Unis vont vivre, à partir de 1920, n'a rien d'une convalescence. C'est une descente. Une décennie de violence, de double discours, d'hypocrisie politique et de criminalité organisée à une échelle jamais vue.Pendant treize ans, la fabrication, la vente et le transport d'alcool deviennent illégaux sur l'ensemble du territoire américain. Officiellement, l'alcool est banni pour préserver la nation, encourager la tempérance, rendre les citoyens meilleurs. En réalité, il ne disparaît jamais. Il change de visage. Il entre en clandestinité. Et l'Amérique avec lui.Derrière les façades closes des speakeasies (les bars clandestins), on danse sur du jazz, on trinque en cachette, on négocie des pots-de-vin. La police détourne les yeux, parfois la loi aussi. La boisson coule à flot dans les villes, les caves, les arrière-salles. Et dans les veines du pays.L'État croyait contrôler une habitude. Il découvre qu'il a réveillé un monstre.Car interdire, ce n'est pas empêcher.Et ce que la Prohibition interdit, elle va surtout le rendre rentable.Elle consacre des figures nouvelles.Des avocats devenus millionnaires, dont certains dissimulent leurs distilleries derrière des pharmacies.Des criminels qui deviennent des icônes, comme Al Capone, qui transforme Chicago en capitale du crime, finance des soupes populaires avec l'argent du trafic, tout en faisant exécuter ses rivaux à la mitraillette.Mais la Prohibition, ce n'est pas seulement l'histoire des gangsters. C'est aussi celle des échecs du pouvoir, des contradictions d'une société, et du poids des idéaux mal appliqués.C'est l'histoire d'une croisade morale détournée par l'argent. D'un État qui perd la main.D'un peuple qui se rit des lois… et qui en meurt parfois.Car à force de distiller dans l'illégalité, on fabrique des alcools frelatés, toxiques, dangereux. On mélange, on coupe, on triche. Et on enterre.Et puis il y a l'autre scène : celle des bureaux, des couloirs du Congrès, des caves du Sénat pleines de bouteilles, pendant que les rues se remplissent de cadavres.La Prohibition devait moraliser l'Amérique. Elle l'a fracturée. Elle a sapé la confiance dans les institutions. Elle a légitimé la corruption comme mode de gouvernement. Elle a semé les bases du crime organisé moderne.Et pourtant, cette période est aussi fascinante que trouble. Car elle interroge :Pourquoi une société décide-t-elle de bannir quelque chose d'aussi ancré que l'alcool ?Pourquoi une loi, votée à une écrasante majorité, devient-elle si vite une mascarade ?Et pourquoi, malgré ses effets désastreux, certains rêvent-ils encore, aujourd'hui, de moraliser la société par la contrainte ?Ce que nous allons explorer, ce n'est pas seulement une période de l'histoire américaine.C'est un miroir tendu à notre époque.Car derrière les barils de whisky cachés dans les caves, derrière les gangsters en costume et les descentes de police, il y a une question essentielle : que se passe-t-il quand la loi s'attaque à la culture ? Et que reste-t-il, une fois la tempérance oubliée, mais que la violence, elle, est restée ?Mon invitée, l'historienne et spécialiste des Etats-Unis, Annick Foucrier, qui vient de sortir son dernier ouvrage, excellent, au nom évident "La Prohibition", chez Armand Colin Distribué par Audiomeans.

Andrea Gonzmart Williams, the fifth-generation caretaker of the Columbia Restaurant Group and Tampa's 2024 Hispanic Woman of the Year, joins Owen LaFave to tell the inspiring story of an establishment that needs no introduction if you're a local. Founded in 1905, the Columbia Restaurant survived historical events like the Great Depression, Prohibition, and the Spanish Flu and has expanded to include other restaurant brands such as Ulele, Goody Goody, and Cha Cha Coconuts in Sarasota. Andrea describes how consistency has allowed this family-owned business to balance tradition and innovation across generations for nearly 120 years. From surviving financial challenges to hurricanes and COVID, Andrea recounts how her father's leadership and resilience helped save and grow the business while always prioritizing community and working alongside staff. She reveals how the company makes caring for employees a priority—keeping them paid and supported through the pandemic and other crises—and reflects on the emotional weight of carrying on her family's legacy. What is Andrea's own approach to leadership in the restaurant industry? Spoiler: It involves putting in the hours, even when that means rolling up your sleeves to do dishes at 2am.   The Bank of Tampa | Member FDIC

Located just minutes from the interstate at the unofficial start of the bourbon trail, Revival offers a unique experience with rare and historic spirits that can't be found anywhere else.• Revival Vintage Spirits occupies a historic 1800s building that once served as Covington's YMCA• Dusty bottles aren't just old whiskeys—true dusties have tax strips from before 1984• Well-preserved vintage spirits can remain good for decades or centuries if properly sealed• Revival makes rare spirits accessible by offering affordable quarter-ounce pours of pre-prohibition whiskey• The shop occasionally features medicinal prohibition bottles complete with original prescriptions• Revival hosts distillers and brand owners regularly for special events and tastings• The store serves as both a bottle shop and bar, creating a comprehensive whiskey experience• Brad and his business partner are working to change Kentucky law to improve vintage spirit regulations• Small distilleries can partner with Revival to showcase their products and connect with enthusiasts• Whiskey collecting is comparable to baseball card collecting, but with the added benefit of consumptionIf you're passing through Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky, stop by Revival Vintage Spirits, ask for Brad personally, and experience a true grain-to-glass journey from the past to your present.Step into the fascinating world of vintage spirits as we join Brad Bonds at Revival Vintage Spirits and Bottle Shop in historic Covington, Kentucky. Just minutes from Cincinnati, this extraordinary establishment serves as both the gateway to bourbon country and a living museum of American whiskey history.Brad guides us through the remarkable journey of Revival, from its humble beginnings to its current home in a beautifully restored 1800s building that once housed Covington's YMCA. More than just a bottle shop, Revival represents the preservation of whiskey heritage, offering enthusiasts the chance to taste spirits that most people only read about in books.The conversation delves deep into what makes "dusty" bottles special – those time capsules of whiskey history featuring tax strips from before 1984 that capture production methods long since abandoned. Brad explains the remarkable stability of properly stored vintage spirits, which can remain perfect for decades or even centuries, unlike wine or other collectibles. We explore the delicate art of bottle assessment, learning how clarity, fill level, and label condition impact both value and the drinking experience.What sets Revival apart is its commitment to accessibility. While some establishments might charge $1,000 per ounce for pre-Prohibition whiskey, Brad shares stories of offering quarter-ounce pours for $40, allowing hundreds of people to experience liquid history. His philosophy shines through in every aspect of the business: "We're trying to figure out a way every day to be fair to who we buy from and fair to who we sell to."The passion behind Revival is infectious as Brad compares whiskey collecting to baseball cards, but with one crucial difference – "this is the final frontier, because you can choose to buy a bvoice over Whiskey Thief If You Have Gohsts Add for SOFLSupport the showhttps://www.scotchybourbonboys.com The Scotchy bourbon Boys are #3 in Feedspots Top 60 whiskey podcasts in the world https://podcast.feedspot.com/whiskey_podcasts/

'In the smoke-choked backrooms of 1920s Toronto, where jazz and bootleg liquor flow like an untamed river, 'The Man in the Iron Mask is reborn as a Prohibition-era musical. Twins—one, a ruthless crime lord draped in silk and sin; the other, a prisoner lost in the underbelly of King St —are bound by fate and a secret buried in blood. As speakeasy ballads and brass-fueled anthems drive the tale, a band of aging gangsters, once the city's kings, unite for one last job: a coup against tyranny. Justice and jazz collide in a high-stakes battle where the mask must fall.

George Remus made millions bootlegging during Prohibition, lived like Gatsby, married a woman named Imogene, then murdered her in broad daylight. The kicker? He defended himself in court…and walked free.This episode of Arsenic Culture dives into one of the wildest real-life crime sagas in American history: 

Chris Skates is a novelist with 30 years of experience as a chemist at nuclear and coal plants. He’s been able to combine this diverse background of science and energy with a passion for writing. Chris began publishing in 2000, with over 150 stories, articles, and columns to his name, alongside four novels. He’s also contributed to Turkey Call Magazine and is preparing a non-fiction collection. His writing journey culminated in key roles as a speechwriter and energy advisor at both the state and national levels of government.Moonshine Over Georgia is Chris’ most prized and honored work to date. A historical fiction novel, it pulls from the harrowing, exciting, and very real stories Chris’ grandfather would tell him growing up, working as a revenue agent in Prohibition-era Georgia. With that, Chris has become a pseudo-expert and captivating storyteller when it comes to this time in history. Once he starts talking, you’ll be enthralled by his ability to bring a story to life.Moonshine Over Georgia Description: Greed, poverty, and desperation. As control for the illegal moonshine trade rages, can one honorable man bring compassion and justice to the hills? Western Georgia, 1946. Revenue agent C.E. “Kid” Miller is haunted by the suffering caused by bootlegging, but his attempt to infiltrate a major operation puts him in the crosshairs of a ruthless crime gang. As he searches for a missing informant and battles growing violence, Miller fears his fight will cost him everything, including his life. Inspired by true events, *Moonshine Over Georgia* draws on author Chris Skates’ grandfather’s dangerous work and historical research to bring to life a brutal chapter of American history. If you enjoy gritty heroes and uncovering untold stories, you’ll love this gripping tale.

During the Prohibition era (1920–1933), when the U.S. government banned the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol under the 18th Amendment, bootleggers emerged as key players in the illegal liquor trade. These smugglers and illicit distillers supplied alcohol to a thirsty public, often producing homemade “moonshine” or smuggling foreign liquor from Canada, Mexico, or the … Continue reading Episode 462: Bootleggers and Prohibition

They dazzled onstage in feathers and pearls and then vanished under police raids and moral panic.For a brief, glittering moment, drag queens were the toast of Prohibition-era nightlife… until they became public enemy number one.In the late 1920s and early 1930s, America's biggest cities erupted in what came to be known as the Pansy Craze a cultural explosion where openly queer performers headlined clubs, captivated audiences, and redefined gender expression under the glare of the spotlight. But behind the applause lurked danger. As the nation's tolerance gave way to censorship and crackdowns, the very performers who once symbolized freedom were driven back into the shadows. In this episode, we explore the rise and fall of this forgotten chapter in queer history and what it reveals about the cost of visibility.If you're craving a queer history podcast that unearths lost legacies and buried truths, Beers With Queers delivers stories that are bold, emotional, and overdue.Hosted by Jordi and Brad, Beers With Queers brings chilling crimes, queer stories, and twisted justice to light all with a cold one in hand.Press play, grab a drink, and join us as we uncover the darkest corners of LGBTQ+ history.

The second half of Soderbergh's unbelievable year 2000 was TRAFFIC, his sprawling adaptation of the 1989 Channel 4 miniseries about the many sides of the drug trade.

Let's get this out of the way: Michael Malloy should not have survived. But somehow, this Irish-born New York City drunkard became the most hilariously unkillable man in Prohibition-era history.In this episode of The Spill, Matt, Jason, and Kendra unravel the unbelievable tale of MichaelMalloy, a man so dedicated to booze, and so impervious to death, that he turned a murder plotinto a months-long disaster for the people trying to kill him.We're talking poisoned drinks, gas chambers, frozen nights, car crashes, and more. All in aplot so stupid, so desperate, and so darkly funny, it could've been written by the Coen Brothers.This is easily one of the wildest, most entertaining stories we've ever told on this show. Weguarantee you'll laugh, wince, and immediately start retelling it to your friends.#MichaelMalloy #TrueCrime #DrunkHistory #Prohibitionhttps://www.youtube.com/@arsenicculturehttps://instagram.com/arsenicculturehttps://tiktok.com/@arsenicculturehttps://www.facebook.com/arsenicculture/https://x.com/arsenicculture

Whisky collector Mark Wade specializes in vintage bottlings, specifically Prohibition-era “medicinal” bottles. Part of his collection went on the auction block this month at Sotheby's, and he'll join us on his week's WhiskyCast In-Depth to discuss the search for dusties, authenticating his finds, and that one whisky he's still searching for. In the news, this year's class of Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame honorees has been announced, and we'll talk with Parker Beam Lifetime Achievement Award winner Chris Morris. We'll also look at an Irish distillery's unique use of nanotechnology in its stills on Behind the Label. 

Our run through the serialized adventures of Johnny Dollar brings us to the Big Easy! In “The Valentine Matter” (originally aired on CBS between October 31 and November 4, 1955), Johnny's on a case in New Orleans when he runs across one of Prohibition's most notorious bootleggers - a man who's been marked for death by some old enemies.
