About this listen

As a young child, George Remus immigrates from Germany to the United States.  Living in Chicago, he finds the American dream, succeeding first as a pharmacist and then a defense attorney.  But when Prohibition cuts Americans off from alcohol, Remus sees his chance to thrive as a bootlegger in Cincinnati with his new love Imogene.

 

Remus: The Mad Bootleg King is a Curiosity Podcast and is a co-production of iHeart Podcasts and School of Humans.  This podcast is based on Abbott Kahler’s book, “The Ghosts of Eden Park: The Bootleg King, the Women Who Pursued Him, and the Murder That Shocked Jazz-Age America.” 

 

You can learn more about Abbott and her books here.
