  • Bradley Martin Ball

    Bradley Martin Ball
    Apr 22 2024

    The Bradley Martin Ball is sometimes referred to as the last big moment of the Gilded Age. It was a very ostentatious event that sparked a lot of debate, and in some ways helped usher in the crumbling of New York’s Victorian-era society culture.

  • SYMHC Classics: Croesus

    SYMHC Classics: Croesus
    Apr 20 2024

    This 2020 episode shares the story of the ridiculously wealthy Croesus, which was likely fictionalized in a number of ways. It has become sort of a cautionary tale about pride and hubris, and what really has value in life.
