The Wild Woods

A criminologist, two historians, and a history professor reveal everything from moonshining and speakeasies at the boardwalk and beach, to New Jersey and Pennsylvania’s outright refusal to enforce national prohibition at their respective state levels. The surprising lawlessness of Wildwood and the Jersey Shore saw everything from the illicit liquor trade on boats, barges, and inlets; gangster shoot-outs - to even a mention of The New Jersey Devil or two. Join Britnee, Ted, Joe, and Favian for this storied journey down the shore back to the New Jersey beaches of yesteryear, for Grim Philly’s, Prohibition: Part I: The Wild Woods.
