Outcasts of the Earth
Beyond the grand figures whose names and adventures fill our history books remain the lives of an untold number of people whose experiences - while less glamorous - warrant our attention all the same. Falling by the wayside, into the past’s proverbial gutters, we encounter the often nameless and faceless individuals who were made to live on the fringe of society. This new podcast aims to re-center those narratives; to remember the names and elevate the voices of those who found themselves excluded for their addictions, their maladies, their class, or simply who they loved. In the first season of the show, with new episodes released every other week, we will dive into the often blurry history of drinking and drunkenness from the ancient world to Prohibition-era speakeasies.

Drinking is something that many people are likely familiar with in the practical sense, but the history of alcohol and drinking has ancient roots.
