History Hack: Surrealism, Lee Miller and Roland Penrose Aug 30, 2021

History Hack: The Ghosts of Eden Park with Abbott Kahler Aug 27, 2021

Show notes

Author Abbot Kahler (Karren Abbott, we explain that, sort of) joins Boney and Charlotte to discuss the meteoric rise and fall of Prohibition Booze Baron George Remus, his wife Imogene, the G-Woman who brought them down and the G-Man who tried to make off with the lot.

This episode has just about everything you would want: crime, illicit booze, cocktails, an epic party, a spot of prison time and then... well for that you will have to listen, then buy the book! Annoyingly, it is not yet available in our bookshop... So find it!
