Noir Factory

BEST OF 2017

There’s a tradition in the podcasting world that during the first week of a new year you look back at the episodes you’ve put out in the world.

I know, if it’s a podcasting tradition how old can it be, right?

Still, just like drinking too much on New Year’s Eve and stepping on the scale after the holidays, we look at one episode that seemed to resonate with our listeners more than any other.

Perhaps it’s because the subject of the episode is a self-made man, who showed more grit and determination than most.

Perhaps it’s because he rose to dizzying heights only to fall from a peak, again, of his own making.

Or perhaps its because he was a prohibition guy, and everyone loves a good drink.

Whatever the reason, our listeners fell for the story of George Remus-King of the Bootleggers. And that makes episode 29 the best of 2017.

---------------

“He and this Wolfsheim bought up a lot of side-street drug-stores here and in Chicago and sold grain alcohol over the counter. That’s one of his little stunts. I picked him for a bootlegger the first time I saw him, and I wasn’t far wrong.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

George Remus was born on November 13th 1876 in Germany to Frank and Maria Remus, a working class family. He was the middle child with an older sister and younger brother and while he was still just a toddler, the family immigrated to the US.
