One more week until American Filth returns! The show's crowning achievement has been outing historical figures who might have been gay. And it all started with some bigoted Southerners who sent a couple of spicy letters.

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.

New episodes back in two weeks! In the meantime...the solitary vice is not, in fact, listening to American Filth. But instead...well, figure it out by listening to the episode from earlier this year when Kellogg's CEO said that poor people should just eat cereal! What a time!
