In this episode, we’re digging into The Gilded Age and the very real history behind the drama. We look at how the show mirrors the original era’s wealth, power, inequality, and social climbing, then connect those patterns to what’s happening in America right now. We also talk about how the first Gilded Age ended, and what that history might mean for our own moment.
