Episode Synopsis

Boyd and I are working on new content for the podcast-we have lots of good stuff planned for the future.But in the meantime, we wanted to take a moment to revisit some of Michael’s excellent content.We each picked two of the previous episodes as our “best of” but we totally acknowledge that we could have picked many more than two; this was a very tough choice, but we hope you enjoy (re)listening as much as we did. And we'd love to know which are your favorite episodes!Christopher McKnight Nichols and Nancy Unger, A Companion to the Gilded Age and Progressive Era.
