Welcome to Swoon-Worthy—a podcast dedicated to the lavish, layered world of period dramas. I’m Carly, the voice behind @perioddramastyle on Instagram, where my followers join me in celebrating the romance, aesthetic, costuming, and emotional depth of historical storytelling. I’m here to guide you through your favorite films and series, one swoon-worthy scene at a time.

We’ve covered everything from  Marie Antoinette to Moulin Rouge. From Gladiator to The Gilded Age. We’ve explored the lives of Jane Austen, The Bronte sisters, Louisa May Alcott…. With stops at the familiar worlds of Downton Abbey and Bridgerton. And we’re just getting started. 

While my sister Cayla co-hosted our first three seasons (and still pops in now and then), these days I’m joined by a rotating cast of brilliant friends who help me dive deep into the drama.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just discovering the genre, we’re here to celebrate the swoon-worthy moments that make period dramas unforgettable.

Step into the stories with our spirited conversations. Subscribe now and let’s time-travel through the period dramas that make us swoon.
