Temperance: A Surprisingly Progressive Crusade

Pete and Tom tackle Temperance in this episode of All the Feelings, and boy, do they have some!

They dive deep into the history of temperance, from its philosophical roots with Aristotle to the rise of the temperance movement in the US. Expect a hilarious exploration of how "don't get drunk" somehow led to women's suffrage (thanks, Dave!), the surprising connection between the temperance movement and other social reforms, and a healthy dose of skepticism about moral crusades. 

Plus, Pete shares a truly horrifying story about his grandfather and a urologist at a golf club that you won't want to miss. So, get ready for prohibition, civic know-how, urinary health and everything in between, plus "Temper Temper," the game show that tests your knowledge of prohibition!
