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.
Klantrecensies
Very nice indeed
I enjoy listening to the podcast, it's original and surtainly no punishment to listen to.
The only reason I don't grant the show five stars is because, like Mausy sais, the themes sometimes are a bit feminine. (multiple stories about populair princesses for example) But don't let that keep you from listening to these well informed ladies!
Best Historical Entertainment
Hilarious, well researched, and entertainingly addictive! All types of History for all types of people. The Podcast does not focus on a people, genre or era, so I have learnt so much about such a broad array of figures, foods, mysteries and household items, etc. I can not stop listening and then talking about the topics that are discussed. I love that each episode is non-biased, and then a follow up episode, called the behind the scenes is released with more background and opinions given, so the listener can choose how serious or entertaining the podcast can be. I love the chemistry between Holly and Tracey and I feel like I am ease dropping on good friends as they sip their first drink of the day and unwind by speaking about the historical mundane to the fantastical.
Listener since 2012
Started listening while doing boring data entry for work in my early twenties. Still here 9 years later for the show. I love it and I love the edition of the minis. Thank you both (an Sara and Deblina) for making research, fun and accessible. Truly an unsung talent bridging academics/knowledge with accessibility/understanding. The topics and the way you approach the topics is is so insightful and motivating.
