Prohibition 100: How dry Philadelphia got soaked

Prohibition 100: How dry Philadelphia got soaked

Prohibition went into effect in America 100 years ago, and the City of Brotherly Love tested the ban on alcohol to its limits. Philadelphia responded to the 18th Amendment with thousands of speakeasies, bathtubs full of gin, a wave of organized crime, and public officials who looked the other way. This week on KYW In Depth, the Beer and Booze Broz take over the podcast to tell uncorked stories of prohibition in Philadelphia. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.
