FDR hates gay sex. Well, sort of. (Also, I don't think I made seamen/semen joke in this episode, which is a real oversight.)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introducing: American Filth
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
From famous founders to capitalist cooks, from sex scandals to the dirtiest blues song, AMERICAN FILTH dives into the filthier side of American history: uncovering people who society has largely excluded from the history books because they were too unconventional, provocative, seedy, dirty, trashy…. Or just plain filthy. And sure, some of these folks made great contributions to history. But that’s not the part of their lives AMERICAN FILTH is interested in. This podcast is here for the drama, the spice, and general tomfoolery. The weekly series of brisk episodes plunges face-first into the dirtiest events and people in the annals of American history.
