Episode 102: You Drink, You Die; The Chemists’ WarWhat happens when morality becomes a weapon? During Prohibition, the U.S. government tried to scare people away from drinking alcohol by poisoning industrial ethanol. Instead, it unbridled a wave of tragedy that claimed thousands of lives.From speakeasies alive with whispered passwords, to fortunes gained through bootlegging, to hospitals overwhelmed on Christmas Eve, this is the story of the Chemists’ War—a cautionary tale of zealotry, crime, and needless suffering.And a reminder that freedom stumbles when personal choices are legislated.

Welcome to True Crime BnB. I’m Beth, your host. This podcast began with my daughter as a space to honor victims and celebrate survivors.Now in Season 4, I’m continuing solo—ushering in a new chapter I call True Crime BnB: UNEXPECTED.These episodes are history with a side of crime. This is the sound of whitewashing being undone. I’m reaching into the past to find silenced voices—letting them speak, exposing the systems that buried them, and telling the stories no one ever taught me.Because I wasn’t supposed to know any of this. And that’s exactly why it matters.This podcast is for the victims, the survivors, and the histories they were written out of.This is the True Crime BnB.
