The Gilded Gentleman Carl Raymond

The story of Murray Hall -- a Gilded Age bail bondsman, Tammany Hall representative and loving and devoted father -- is impossible to forget and one that when you first hear it, takes you by surprise. 

Carl is joined by veteran journalist and tour guide Michael Morgenthal for a journey through the pages of 19th century newspapers. 

Carl visits the Museum of the City of New York where he's joined by Collections Manager for Costumes and Textiles Elizabeth Randolph to discuss the famous dress Alice Vanderbilt wore to her sister-in-law Alva'a ball, while inspecting the original dress itself.

Historian and author Richard Jones delves deeply into one of the world's most fascinating unsolved series of murders.  True crime fans may think they know the major elements of the grisly set of Jack the Ripper murders and the resulting investigation, but this show uncovers some angles and aspects that shine a wider light into these horrors of late Victorian London.

Royal historian Tracy Borman, author of "Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I: The Mother and Daughter That Changed History", discusses her new book and offers insights on the mother daughter relationships of two more modern monarchs, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth II. 

In a tribute to Sarah Rice -- Broadway's original Johanna from the musical Sweeney Todd -- Carl revisits his 2023 interview with the star from last year.
