Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWe have finally come to the end of Kara's anthology of everything prohibition related. Kara has taken us from the origins of the prohibition movement and its relationship to the suffragette movement, to the colorful bootleggers and wild characters who openly broke the law to how the music and literature of the time period was affected by it and now finally organized crime and syndicates that ultimately brought the 18th Amendment to the ground. In this episode, Kara is going to get into the thick of mob bosses, the complex chain of people killing each with the latest and greatest of the guns of the era and how one woman figured out how to manipulate the law in such a way, she brought down the most famous mob bosses of all time, Al Capone. For more episodes and detailed show notes hop on over to thedaysdumpsterfire.com https://www.thedaysdumpsterfire.com/ where you can explore dozens of episodes of well meaning people, making really big mistakes and even exploding tanks of molasses. If you find this series interesting, check out some of these similar episodes that Kara and Ed have put together:Episode 48.
