Episode description as stored
Before the era of the tabloid, New Yorkers got their gossip fix from a publication known as Town Topics , where the shocking secrets of the Gilded Age were revealed. But its publisher, William D'Alton Mann , was into more than just a bit of sleaze; he used these scandalous revelations to blackmail members of New York’s high society.
In this very special presentation of the Gilded Gentleman podcast, Carl Raymond and his special guest, Vanity Fair writer Joe Pompeo , introduce you to this forgotten scheme which threatened to tear apart the morals and polite mannerisms of Gilded Age society.
And for more adventures through Gilded Age New York, check out the Gilded Gentleman podcast , wherever you get your podcasts.
