In 1875, a warehouse in Dublin’s Liberties district exploded into flames, igniting more than 5,000 barrels of whiskey and unleashing a river of fire through the streets. But the fire itself didn’t kill anyone. The whiskey did.

This episode dives into the wild true story of the Dublin Whiskey Fire, where:

🔥 Streets flowed with flaming booze
🍺 Locals scooped whiskey with boots, hats, and porringers
🧠 Firefighters used manure and gravel to stop the blaze
💀 Thirteen people died of alcohol poisoning, not fire

One of the weirdest disasters in drinking history, and a turning point in how cities stored spirits.

George Remus made millions bootlegging during Prohibition, lived like Gatsby, married a woman named Imogene, then murdered her in broad daylight. The kicker? He defended himself in court…and walked free.

This episode of Arsenic Culture dives into one of the wildest real-life crime sagas in American history:

💰 The “King of the Bootleggers”
🚘 A high-speed car chase through Cincinnati
⚖️ A murder trial featuring self-defense, insanity pleas, and stickpins
💔 Betrayal, revenge, and Shakespeare-level chaos

Prohibition was messy. George Remus was messier.
