Capitalists Are Gonna Capitalist: Episode 64 (The Explosive History of the Ford Pinto)

We are back with another very special episode, we are graced by the presence of the brilliant hosts of the Hashtag History podcast, Rachel and Leah. 

In this episode, we are drinking a simple vodka-based cocktail named after the infamous bus company called the Greyhound that features grapefruit juice. This bright and tart concoction’s popularity matches the era of HASHTAG HISTORY’s scandal.

HASHTAG HISTORY’s scandal is an expose on the Ford Pinto’s explosive history. We 🥂 in remembrance for the people who lost their life as a result of American corruption and capitalism first and foremost but also to be able to endure the retelling of this shameful event.
