About this listen

Beyond Reproach is a comedic history podcast about scandals and scandalousness in politics and government. Each episode, hosts Stephanie & Tux explore the sordid stories of America's past, all while drinking heavily, talking too much, and generally making fools of themselves. They hope that these stories entertain you, teach you a thing or two, and maybe even draw parallels between the mistakes of the past and the quagmire that is American politics today.

    Jun 19 2023
    Happy Pride y’all!!
    ‘Tis the season for gay scandals and gay scandalousness✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️✨🏳️‍🌈✨🏳️‍⚧️✨

    In this episode, we have a light and summery classic that is one of our personal favs–the Aperol Spritz. This easy, quintessentially Italian cocktail’s American popularity peaked in the 70s, the era of STEPHANIE’s scandal.
    🍸 - https://www.beyondreproachpod.com/the-cocktails/

    In honor of Pride, STEPHANIE sheds a light on Anita Bryant and how her Save Our Children campaign birthed Florida's current LGBTQIA culture war on education. 

    We 🥂to rightwing Americans symbolically using care for children as a weapon to move discussions away from liberty and justice for all to instead focus on what is in best interest of a child's education, which just so happens to maintain the status quo.
