In part one, hosts Alicia Malone (TCM) and Tom Meyers (The Bowery Boys) recap this week’s episode and discuss the industries that were booming at the time, for example, railroads, newspaper/journalism, and “magic lantern shows.”   In part two they are joined by Cynthia Nixon (Aunt Ada Brooke) and director Salli Richardson-Whitfield to discuss the decisions made off-screen to bring together such a complex episode and overall production. Find out which shot wasn’t planned, but happened serendipitously to create a beautiful moment on screen.    Watch The Gilded Age on HBO Max, and subscribe to The Official Gilded Age Podcast so you don’t miss an episode.
