Today’s episode features the final installment in Science’s Tourist’s Guide to Prohibition, featuring the good, the bad, and the…Star Trek.
Clio needs to fill out her classical education. Science encourages some complex thinking. Rissa is simultaneously over and underqualified.
Science will be at Podcon this weekend! Hit us up at theliberalarents@gmail.com if you will be too; she’d love to meet you!
Hi everyone! Science here. Clio and Rissa asked about recipes for all of Prohibition’s most popular illicit drinks (made with alcohol that’s like, good), and I’m here to deliver.
You’ve got to check out Thrillest’s guide to good Prohibition-era drinks–how you know they’re authentic (minus the methanol, of course). Cocktail Flow has a great guide here on how to make many of these cocktails with ingredients and instructions.
While enjoying your cocktail, please enjoy these video clips of ridiculous dance trends. The first clip, from a 1956 movie called Don’t Knock the Rock, showcases the Charleston and many of its variations. Watch out for those flying hands.
And this clip is footage of folks doing the Black Bottom. Note those variations in style–the Black Bottom is a lot more about hips and elbows. The scandal!
We’ll see you on Wednesday with a brand new episode! Until then, learn something worth knowing.
Here at The Liberal Aren’ts, we answer the really really tough questions. Like which one of us would win in a fight.
Clio disturbs us all mightily with biology. Science will fight you about jazz music. Rissa just wants to hear about gangsters.
This week, Science takes a stand: podcasts that touch liquor shall never touch…hers. Mine. Ours. And then she talks about liquor for forty minutes. It’s a tourist’s guide to Prohibition!
Rissa begs for a job. Science has weird music taste, but at least she doesn’t blindly make playlists based on keywords, Clio.
