Show Notes
Rachel Teichman, LMSW, and Victor Varnado, KSN, take a historical detour to discuss the "drunkard’s cloak," a humiliating punishment for public intoxication. In medieval Europe, offenders were forced to wear a barrel as a form of public shaming. The hosts examine how this unusual penalty reflects changing attitudes toward alcohol over time. Find out just how far societies once went to keep order!
Produced and hosted by Victor Varnado & Rachel Teichman
