Summary

If you go down to the Windy City, the Windy City is mighty pretty, but you might have your nuts chopped, yes siree! During the roaring twenties there was a crime that was taking Chicago by storm and it wasn't mobsters, molls or bootleggers, oh no, Chicago was under attack from gland pirates! But who was taking testicles and why?

Music Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Hood at What Now, the history podcast that's not your history class with me your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlot and Reader of Books.

It has been a busy week for me. You know how it is, offending evangelicals. Apparently it's

0:47.7

very easy to do. All you have to do is quote scripture, as it turns out. Now, I'm not even a big fan of the Bible. However,

0:58.3

I'm not going to let all those years of Sunday school go to waste. No. I also didn't take

1:04.5

theology for a little while for absolutely no reason. It is exactly for arguments like this.

1:14.2

But anyway, caused a bit of a scene on the old internet, especially on Instagram. People were getting very welled up on Instagram to the point where

1:46.1

So naturally, I decided I was going to talk about something completely non-controversial in this week's episode, testicles,

1:52.8

because that's just how I roll. I feel like, why not discuss it? Also, I thought we needed a bit of a
