Bradley Martin Ball
The Bradley Martin Ball is sometimes referred to as the last big moment of the Gilded Age. It was a very ostentatious event that sparked a lot of debate, and in some ways helped usher in the crumbling of New York’s Victorian-era society culture.

SYMHC Classics: Croesus
This 2020 episode shares the story of the ridiculously wealthy Croesus, which was likely fictionalized in a number of ways. It has become sort of a cautionary tale about pride and hubris, and what really has value in life.

Always interesting and fun
Presented with an interesting twist on history covering some of the less known but fascinating moments
Fantastic show !
Love this show so much. Such interesting & well research content. Love any podcast that can keep me interested on topics that on paper I might be a bit *yawn* about. But !!!! I do have to say I feel in the last month or so the number of ads during the show has really increased. I get ads are needed to support the show but when you feel like you’re listening to more ad than show it’s not the best (I feel especially during the shorter end of week wrap ups) Other than that looove your work !!!
Facts that aren’t facts!!!
Just for starters:
* The pyramids are NOT “millions” of years old; they’re approx 4,500yo.
* The ancient Greeks did not invent astronomy; this was done by Arabs in Babylon (now Iraq).
* Calculus was invented by Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz; not Greeks.
I have to stop listening, as I wonder what else is just garbage.
