Truck-stop brothels run by a web of ex-cons. a commonwealth attorney wasted on whiskey and power. protection exchanged for cash and flesh. a brash local reporter exposing it all. HOOKERGATE: Criminals and Libertines in the South. Host Dr. Lindsay Byron is an author, historian, and lifelong wayward woman-and this forgotten scandal happened in her hometown. Join her as she uses crumbling news clippings, interviews, and dramatic re-enactments to bring to life for the first time in nearly 50 years this wild ride of hedonistic corruption. Episodes here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-hookergate-criminals-and-158300729/
