We are joined by comedian Naomi Karavani from the "Cargo Cult" podcast, as well as Rocz and Liam from "Well There's Your Problem" to talk about the Prohibition Party. We cover the conditions that lead to the party's 1869 founding, its response to the 18th and 21st amendments as well as its obscure and adorable modern incarnation.
