America, the land of the free, the home of the brave, and I would argue a nation of some major filth.
Hi, I'm Gabby Watts, comedian and podcast producer caulso knots Bragg. I went to an Ivy League school and majored in history and graduated highly unawarded. And I'm hosting a new history podcast called American Filth, where we're diving into the filthy underbelly of the good old us of A. I'll be talking about a founding father who died from a DIY catheter, the woman who wrote the dirtiest blue song ever recorded, how the Pilgrims smelled parable, and of course
a seventeenth century beast reality panic. We're also looking at the people who were largely excluded from the history books because society deemed them too unconventional, provocative, seedy, dirty, trashy, or just playing filthy. So join me as I've plunged face first into the dirtiest people and events in the anals I mean annals of American History. Listen to American Filth starting September sixth on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
