Beyond Reproach gets a little spooky! We bring y’all two historically dark scandals for your listening pleasure. Start your Halloween season off right!. 

We drink a mad scientist-themed prohibition cocktail called the Monkey Gland which ties directly in era and theme to Stephanie’s scandal. This famous drink, featuring a delicious absinthe rinse, was named after a ridiculous faux medical procedure popularized in the 20s.

ALSO DISCUSSED: Doctor Nick, #turdlifestyle, Eugenics village, AIM chat sounds, Oprah giveaways, Peculiar Picture Show, and Stephanie the pre-vert.

STEPHANIE does a deep dive into a real-life horror story: the 1927 Buck v. Bell case, the landmark ruling that reaffirmed a state's right to uphold an inhumane eugenics law. We raise our glasses to yet another dark chapter brushed under the rug of American history!

American Saints: Episode 22 (Myth-busting the legends of Abraham Lincoln & Ronald Reagan)

In this final episode of Season 2 we imbibe a juicy obscure vintage cocktail called the National Guard 7th Regiment Punch. We learn about the history of this "foxy wine" based concoction and how it links to Stephanie's story. Please note that we depart from our regular scandalous program to again close the season by myth-busting American legends.
