    BONUS: The Problems With Prohibition

    The prohibition of alcohol in the United States lasted from 1920 to 1933 and was arguably one of the most unsuccessful social experiments in American history.
    Despite its noble intentions, prohibition had a number of negative effects on society that made it difficult for people to abide by these restrictions.

Big heart

Kelli has an enormous heart. She’s also got the best sense of humor and most positive attitude. I love her podcasts and I see her doing great things with them. 🥰

Love this podcast!

Kelly paints such a good picture with her description! I am a truck driver and I found her show a couple day’s ago and I can’t stop binging! She definitely has a lot to f passion for what she does! I enjoy your awesome work Kelly keep it up!

Aimee aka Freyacat ,

Such compassion

i love this podcast. I found true crime IRL and Parasise After Dark on Halloween and theyve quickly become my favorites . Kelli really cares about these cases and shes not all overproduced. She genuinely cares. I give five stars and i dont give 5 stars out easily.
