Episode 70: The 1919 Christmas Whiskey Massacre

We have something to cheer you guys up to keep you in the festive mood...a massacre that took place over Christmas about a century ago! Ok but in all seriousness, this week explores what has been colloquially known as the 1919 Christmas Day Massacre. It involves mobsters / the mafia, whiskey and the deaths of over 100 people. This bit of weird history often goes untold but was an important event in the United States right before the onset of Prohibition. And speaking of which, we included a bonus part at the end detailing how the US government poisoned innocent people during the 1920's & 30's. And yes, this was real and NOT a conspiracy theory.
