  • Love the podcast!

    First I want to say how much I love the podcast! It’s absolutely fantastic and so much fun to listen to. I’ve learned a ton and feel like I’ve gained a new perspective. I’ve always been fascinated by the gilded age, especially the glitz and glamor of high society. The social rule while exhausting I’m sure and the stiff upper lip of the time has always been appealing to me. Your podcast has gotten me to think of this time in a new light. Thank you so much!
