Episode 110 - 'The Kerry Cartel and JFK's Da'

Last week there was a looooad of Crystal Meth seized in Cork and it seems a few Kerry heads had an involvement in it . It also reminded us we have never discussed the impact prohibition in the States had on Irish Whiskey back in the day.

Stay well and stay off the meth.
