    It’d b marvy if the repeat episodes were announced. We usually think “Oh good, a new episode,” but get disappointed when we start to listen and find out we’ve been duped!

  • Much More Than Just The Glitter

    Such a great historical podcast. You get the glamour of the gilded age aristocracy but also more day to day history of regular people as well. There are so many unique and diverse insights to discover. Highly recommended.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

New York’s Gilded Age Black Elite (Encore)
Q: So Carla, one point I wanna come back to a little bit is this notion of black identity, particularly in the early 19th century. Can you talk about that?
I made this discovery when I was able to trace my family back to my great-great grandparents.
New York’s Gilded Age Black Elite (Encore)
Q: Can you talk a little bit about those misconceptions and how you found them actually not to be true?
One of the things I think that has happened in historiography is when you say 19th century black Americans, everybody thinks of enslaved people in the South.
Stanford White Architect: Perspectives from Great-Grandson Samuel White
Q: If you could sit down with Stanford White, what would you want to ask him?
I would ask him what his favorite project was out of his many designs.
Stanford White Architect: Perspectives from Great-Grandson Samuel White
Q: As an architect, did White's personality drive his work?
Yes, the energy of the individual was closely tied to the work, reflecting his flamboyant style and emotional size.
Stanford White Architect: Perspectives from Great-Grandson Samuel White
Q: When did Stanford's artistic talent first begin to show itself?
He began drawing at a young age, and his early watercolors indicate an interest in textures and materials.
