Description

In this episode of Thick & Thin, we’re going back in time to the 1920’s prohibition in America to uncover secrets and intriguing parallels found between that era and modern times. I also discuss underground parties, gangsters, risky alcohol allegedly made in bathtubs, and just how far people will go to maintain a sense of normalcy. // Follow me on IG: instagram.com/katybellotte /
