With Nate surprisingly sidelined, his friends and fellow Radiotopians at This Day save (This) day. 

Here's the show description: 

In our new series "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to January 1920 and the first night of Prohibition. Hide your booze! Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss the long road to prohibition, going back decades, and the political forces that led to the ban of alcohol.
