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!
