Previous Episode
The Beahm Family (Definitely NOT Jim Beam)
You ever think you're really good at your newfound hobby and then get humbled real quick. Yeah me either.
Just kidding, this episode is all about how I believed that Kim was related to Jim Beam and was a whiskey princess, but it turns out that I was wrong and now there is egg on my face. But Kim doesn't need mediocre whiskey to tell her that she's somebody. Join us for the kick off of Season 2 as we dive into Kim's ancestry. Today, we learn about her distant German (and Bohemian???) roots and their journey to America. And while Kim isn't a whiskey princess, she learns a thing or two about being the heir to obscure protestant denominations circa the mid-1800s.
