  • The Gilded Age

    This week, we're hopping in the Who What When time machine and exploring the Gilded Age. We'll get schooled in the slang of the era, quiz you on movie and TV adaptations set during late 19th century, and hear some tales about trains that may be too strange to be true. We'll also learn how the Driehaus Museum is keeping the Gilded Age alive in Chicago.

  • Poetry

    Shall we compare thee to a What-ter's day? Who art more lovely and When-perate. Our topic this week on Who What When is poetry. We’ll test your knowledge of iconic poets, read some of my original poetry about famous movies, and perform some absolute bars that will have you asking is this a verse or is it a verse? We'll also speak with University of South Carolina educator Brian Glavey about the New York School Poets, his podcast "Some Marvelous Experience," and the impact sharing poetry has on relationships.
