"Hello Everyone and welcome to a new episode of Animalia Ambassadoria." said Sarah, opening the latest episode.
"Since this is the last episode of 2019, with 2020 being in the same week, we'll try to cover all our bases." said Malice, "But since half of our members came down with a stomach bug that has been going around, we won't have as many bases to cover."

"Since it will be exactly 100 years since the roaring 1920s," said Sarah, "we're going to be talking with a historian about what was popular back then, some major events, and of course the infamous Prohibition of alcohol."
Afterward, there was an introduction to the historian who helped explain many things, such as how "flappers" got their name, some of the weirdest trends that happened during the 1920s, and what Prohibition was about.
"But why would the federal government ban alcohol all together?" asked Malice, who didn't really understand it.
"Part of it was the claim at the time that alcohol affected worker productivity in US factories," explained the historian, "while there were religious leaders who claimed that alcohol was sinful, and there were also angry housewives who were against drunk men beating their wives. But the biggest problem is that when something is made illegal, organized crime is almost guaranteed to begin selling it.

"With almost half of our, non-Animalian, members down due to a nasty stomach bug," said Sarah, after some more questions and interviews, "please remember to drink plenty of fluids, take your vitamins, get plenty of rest, and above all, contact either your main office at school or your supervisor at work so they can compensate for you being sick without them suffering too much."

"And that's all the time we have for today, see you all next year in the wilds of Animalia." said Malice, after some more questions and interviews. "And remember to stay safe and healthy, especially during winter."
