Hosts Alicia Malone (TCM) and Tom Meyers (The Bowery Boys) examine New York City hierarchy in the Gilded Age and the social constructs that go along with it. They react to the introduction of the Russell and the Van Rhijn families and how the series reflects 1800s New York. In part two, creator, writer and producer Lord Julian Fellowes joins the podcast along with Christine Baranski (Agnes Van Rhijn) to talk about creating the vision for the show and bringing Aunt Agnes to life. Watch The Gilded Age on HBO Max, and subscribe to The Official Gilded Age Podcast so you don’t miss an episode.
