Moonshine, Day Trippers + the Birth of NASCAR (Interview w/ Will Edmonds)

This week’s interview episode with Will Edmonds, who produces Anecdotal ATL is all about with moonshine history of the pre-Civil War era, through the illegal liquor trade, how and why it centers in Dawsonville, GA and then we get into the colorful characters of Raymond Parks, Walter Day, Carl Lloyd Seay, Roy Hall, and Red Vogt.

Many people know the basic history of NASCAR and how it came from moonshiners of the Prohibition Era, but what will shock you is that Atlanta could have been the home of NASCAR and the two men that prevented that from happening were two of Atlanta biggest names from history - a mayor and a journalist.
