STEPHANIE spends this episode counting the ways in which she loves Henry Wallace, FDR’s progressive second vice president. She also details the shady ways in which the Democrat’s conservative party leadership blocked Wallace’s bid for a second term as VP at the Democratic National Convention, and got him replaced with an errand boy/turd who was more aligned with their interests.

South Pacific Sadness: Episode 21 (The Overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy & Warren Delano, FDR's Opium Smuggling Grandpa)

June 1, 2020 Tux Loerzel

Just in time for summer, this episode we taste-test two very different versions of the Mai Tai, taking a trip back in time when a very problematic Tiki culture reigned supreme. We sample the original 1944 version and the 1953 reboot. The OG rum cocktail was once so popular it depleted world rum supplies for a bit.

ALSO DISCUSSED: Tux swearin’ like he grown, British Baking Show escapism, Rent the Runway for pineapples, Christoper Columbus’s thieving ass, Karens, “President” Benjamin Harrison, Turd Cruz, tiddies, the loosening of jaw gums, Princess Kaiulani movie, watercolors, Rupaul-isms, shrugs, Tux dropping science and Stephanie’s new BFF Rum.

TUX talks about the very scandalous way the Hawaiian monarchy was overthrown. Not many people know that long before Hawaii was a state it was a sovereign nation with a queen, a democratically elected legislature and ambassadors all over the world. This was true until a powerful group of white Hawaiian businessmen set their sights on the island nation.

STEPHANIE tells the story of Warren Delano’s “fair, honorable, and legitimate trade” in illegal drugs. This scandal is about how the Delano empire secured its wealth but it’s really a scandal about freedom— the freedom to secretly roll around in drug monies.

Minisode 14: What Fostered Our Interest in History & Politics

February 17, 2020 Tux Loerzel

This minisode we discuss what sparked our interests in American history and politics. TUX reflects on his political awakening during the runup to the 2008 election, and how his interest in history started in college.

This minisode we discuss what sparked our interests in American history and politics.

TUX reflects on his political awakening during the runup to the 2008 election, and how his interest in history started in college. He took a circuitous path when writing a report about the history of the American food system fostered a love for food history, and then a book about the unfinished America Eats! manuscript by the Works Progress Administration fostered an interest in learning about the New Deal.

STEPHANIE talks about the frustrations of being born black and political. She learned a dry, white-washed version of history that never rang true.

ALSO MENTIONED: The New York Time’s Dialect Quiz and Teaching Slavery (Season 1, Minisode 3).

DIALECT QUIZ
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/dialect-quiz-map.html

We want to hear from YOU! What is your experience? What made you interested in politics and history? Was there a specific event that opened your eyes to these subjects? Or were you always politically aware? Was there a teacher or adult that modeled political awareness or fostered in interest in American history? Did listening to a podcast like ours get you into these topics? If so, which ones? Please send your stories and anecdotes—any feedback you have, we’d love to hear it!

You can send us a voice memo or email us at BeyondReproachPod@gmail.com or feel free to slip into our DMs if you're feeling cheeky. Don’t be strangers and say hi! Just be sure to get those responses back to us no later than Saturday 2/29. We can’t wait to hear from you!

The Longshot: Episode 11 (Huey Long part 1 & FDR's mistresses)

August 5, 2019 Tux Loerzel

During our summer break we launched a shiny new merch store, created a fancy Patreon account, and picked top listener reviews from our challenge last season! We took a lil hiatus to recharge and plan for a very scandalous new season of Beyond Reproach!

We’s back y’all!

This episode we sip on a Vieux Carre, a very delightful Creole spin on a Manhattan. Tux explains the origins of this New Orleans’s classic and Stephanie describes how this famous drink ties to her scandal involving an infamous politician. This cocktail is spirited and decadent like us. Cheers!

Also covered: Alchemy, Roger Stone, the Mack, TCM, complicated loves, being #gooped, Dollywood, Lizzo tweets, and only children.

Stephanie explores the tyrannical reign of Louisiana’s Kingfish, Huey P. Long, the masterful populist who once boasted that he bought legislators “like sacks of potatoes, shuffled them like a deck of cards.” Long, to this day, remains one of the most flamboyant and controversial American politicians.

Grover the Garbage Juice: Episode 8 (Grover Cleveland's sexual assault & the Newport Sex Scandal)

March 18, 2019 Tux Loerzel

To kick off episode 8, we indulge in some super tasty classic [Manhattans](https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/2019/2/18/episode-8-classic-manhattan), one of the world's most famous cocktails. This drink is as potent as it is delicious (as you will hear!), & was invented in 1873--a year that ties directly into Tux's scandalous tale.

Cheers y’all, let’s drink to the health of our livers and/or stem cell research!!

Also covered: Dry snitching, a phony mensch, strangeness, Drag Race, and the evolution of hateful language.

Tux’s tells the story of Grover Cleveland, who was nicknamed “Grover the Good” because he was supposed to be such an honest, principled, & ethical man. We’ll find out though, that his reputation might not stand up against the story of Maria Halpin, the woman who fathered his secret son, and paid dearly for it.
