Step into the shadows of the 1920s as Unexplained History delves into the scandals, secrets, and societal shifts that defined the Roaring Twenties.
In this episode, we begin with the scandalous tales of Hollywood, from the tragic downfall of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle to the unsolved murder of director William Desmond Taylor.
Explore the rise of organized crime with figures like Al Capone, and the subversive lives of Hollywood elites at Alla Nazimova’s “Garden of Alla.”We then broaden our view to connect these tumultuous times to the Strauss and Howe generational theory in “The Fourth Turning.”
Discover how the 1920s marked an unraveling phase, setting the stage for the crises and transformations that would define America in the coming decades.
Lastly, meet the dreamers, innovators, and rebels of the 1920s—the flappers, jazz icons, Charles Lindbergh, Marcus Garvey, and the writers of the Lost Generation—who pushed boundaries and reshaped culture during one of history’s most fascinating decades.
From scandalous Hollywood stories to societal transformations, this episode of Unexplained History brings you face to face with the personalities and events that made the 1920s an unforgettable chapter of history.
