It's a Woman!: Episode 41 (the Life and Times of Rosemary Kennedy)

In this episode we are sipping on the most popular Bostonian cocktail, the Ward 8. This politically-inspired drink is a delicious variation on a rye whiskey sour and was created to celebrate an election win the day before it happened—its popularity ties into the era and region of STEPHANIE’s scandal.

STEPHANIE’s scandal is the life and times of Rosemary Kennedy, the sibling who was sacrificed to make her brothers’ political careers possible. We raise our glass to bodily autonomy and the joys of being a woman!!

Operation Northwoods: Episode 15 (US efforts to overthrow Castro & impeachment of Andrew Johnson)

We toast daiquiris this episode! Not the red ones, y'all!! This classic cocktail, which is nothing like its popular frozen version, is refreshingly light and simple to make. Cheers to making a proper cocktail with items already in your home!

Stephanie details Operation Northwoods. It is by a wide margin the most sinister mission that spun out of the JFK administration. It was that time we undeniably planned to trick the American public into supporting a war with Cuba.

Tux talks impeachment y’all! He tells the story of a president who travelled the country fanning the flames of racism, division and hatred. A president who viewed his opponents with open and vocal disdain. A president who was stubborn and combative and hostile when the country really needed unity and leadership. A president who worked hard to undo the achievements of his predecessor using executive power. This president, of course, is Andrew Johnson.
