Cocaine and Drug Culture at Studio 54

Jordan and Alex take you behind the velvet ropes and into the most decadent and debaucherous nightclub in history. You'll discover all the insane ways wannabes tried to get into the club (including a guy who got stuck in the air vent), the time a disgruntled reject tried to drive his car through the front door, and all the crazy stuff that celebrities got up to in the rubber-lined balcony or basement sex playground. In addition to a deep dive into the surprisingly radical history of disco, you'll learn about the club's maverick owners, Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, who perpetrated one of the biggest tax frauds in history to throw one epic 33-month party. There's sex, drugs, fashion, horses, glitter, and too many tales for a normal-length episode. So take a bump and try to keep up. It's TMI — disco diva edition!
