S1E6 // Echoes of the 20s & '30s - Prohibition, Hardship, and the Underworld

Welcome to Sipisode 6 of the Body By Beer Podcast! This week, join your favorite beer enthusiasts, Chelsea Rhoads and Liz Hess, as we take a deep dive into the tumultuous era of the 1920s and 1930s. It's a journey through time, exploring the intersecting paths of Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the rise of organized crime. In "Echoes of the '20s & '30s - Prohibition, Hardship, and the Underworld," we unravel the complex tapestry of this significant period in American history. Discover how these events shaped the nation, influenced its politics, and left a lasting impact on the beer industry. What was life like during the Great Depression? How did Prohibition fuel a black market for beer and spirits? And how did organized crime weave its way into the fabric of American society? We explore all these questions and more! Special Segment: Chelsea and Liz discuss the stark economic disparities between the struggling Southern Plains farms and the innovative breweries in the North. Hear how geographical differences played a crucial role during these challenging times. Plus, we delve into the world of bootlegging and its effect on American politics and the criminal justice system. It's a fascinating look at how prohibition laws inadvertently gave rise to a new era of crime.
