- In part one of this week’s episode hosts Alicia Malone (TCM) and Tom Meyers (The Bowery Boys) explore notable New York City locations of the Gilded Age and also examine those that are relevant today. They react to events that take place leading up to the grand bazaar and discuss the important role of gatekeepers that the city aldermen played when building in New York City during the Gilded Age.
In part two, the hosts are joined by Morgan Spector (George Russell) and Lauri Pitkus (Locations Manager) to discuss the development of George’s character and the unique approach the show took to scouting and securing locations.

I hope you talk more about Peggy, the lone non-white character in the series, and her world. I love the scene of the blacks-only rail car and Peggy and her mother in the blacks-only café. Where were those types of establishments located in the city? What was black life like during that period? What kind of jobs were they allowed to have?
I hope they talk more about the poor immigrants and servants from every other race we’re so quick to forget and never acknowledge…
I am loving this show. The background information given on this podcast is amazing.
I need a husband like Mr Russel such a nice move on his end to end the charity because of how they disrespected his wife. Loved it!!!
It was too over the top.
@@faisalmemon285 he made a point and message was received.
How did they disrespect his wife? No one was obligated to have a function at their house. I’d I offer to have a party at my house and the people who are throwing it decide to do something else, I promise you I won’t feel the least bit slighted. That is what I don’t like about the Russells. They are trying to force people to accept them. Why? Because they have a lot of money. They are not even attempted to let relationship happen organically with people who don’t even know them.
@@tammybenaytv4631 if you have seen Downtown Abbey then you should realize this sort of stuff happens in Julian Fellowes’ shows.
@@tammybenaytv4631 UM....how would you feel if someone thought they were better than you just because they had acquired wealth (old money) and you just made it on your own or even if you were poor imagine how that would feel just because you are not as financially well off people get to treat you like you are less than them. I treat people according to their values and associate myself with people based on character. Also the fact they cared more about not being with the mrs russel or having her associated with her rather then doing the right thing which is come together for the needy. You don't think it's disrespectful?
I love this show I really wish the podcast would speak about Peggy Scott’s character and the history of black people during the 1800’s it’s such a wonderful part of that period of time
Agreed, many do not know that
there was a Black community
in NYC from the time of the
American revolution.
And at least touch on the removal of the land-owning black community in Seneca Village, Manhattan to make way for Central Park - just one of the early egregious examples of gentrification from that era! Could be a bit of a history lesson for a lot of the audience in the same way the Tulsa Massacre was in HBO's Watchmen.
I believe I read that Peggy’s character and the history of black people is developed more later in the series
@@clarefriend1376 that might be but she was left out of the conversation so far and we have gotten a glimpse of her life in all three episodes so there’s no reason for her not to be touched on yet
@The Broqué Actor They did today on the 4th episode & the 4th Podcast all about the Black Elite
In NY they go deeper into her character very Good episode & Podcast.
Morgan Spector is obviously a very intelligent person/actor. I hadn’t been familiar with his work before.
He was great in "The Plot Against America"
Stanford White was also the architect of the Boston Public Library.
This podcast ALMOST makes me want to sign up for HBO Max! This is the type of drama we once only got on PBS/ Masterpiece Theater! Very well done. Excellent interview. I grew up in NYC/ Brooklyn/upstate NY. Brought back memories of a grand place to live. Thank you.
I am absolutely loving this podcast!! Thank you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I’m thoroughly enjoying this series because I have spent my life living in the shadow of the Biltmore House, which was built by George Vanderbilt in the 1890’s. I’m noticing several architectural characteristics in the Russell mansion that exist in the Vanderbilt mansion.
Thank you Tom and Alicia for another amazing podcast. I absolutely love walking through history with the both of you.
Just watched the episode & talk about "power move" 🙌
Oh come on!! The Russell house HAD to be Backlot like its whiter than Tim cruz's bleached pearly teeth like BRAND NEW🙌😂
I am loving this show and I find myself wishing I could binge watch the entire season.
This episode was sooooo good! I love the way Fellowes has everyone set up. I’m so intrigued.
The second episode was quite good and delicious...I walked by the Bethesda fountain the day they shot that scene in Central Park...I took some pictures of the extras.
in love with this podcast, sometimes i wish i was an actress so i could star in period dramas, looks so fun!!
My home town of Troy, NY, was part of the filming locations.
I love this show! I love George and Bertha's marriage! I love Peggy and Marian's friendship. I love Agnes and Ada sisterly bond.
Outstanding job on the podcast guys. Loved the show.
One of the best endings…ever!
The Alienest on TBS delved into the sordid boy brothels in the Five Points area, which included the Paresis Club. It is based on the Caleb Carr novel of the same name.
I'm SO GLAD you guys got Tom Meyers on this :)
I am so so glad I watched these 3 podcasts before watching the actual show. I felt like an insider who knew the characters. I am team Russel all the way!!!
I’m enjoying this show!
There’s a misspell on HBO right now. It’s referring to episode 3 as episode 4. Someone do something or someone will get fired.
From across the river in Albany it was fun seeing Troy on TV.
Love the podcast! Just started listening and I finished the first season. Should have said this on the first PC episode but I’m so glad the Bowery Boys are part of this. I follow them on Insta and as soon as I discovered this companion to the show the first thing I thought was they should have the Bowery Boys as part of it and then BAM!…he’s the co host. Great minds think alike haha…well done:)
Husbands built homes for their wives at this time . Watch Americas Castles the gilded age was a time when these men would go to the ends of the world to build the most lavish homes for their wives .
I don’t think Gladys will be that much of a push over.
BRAVO !
Well that begs the question, who does eat all that amazing food like in the first episode if the actors and crew don't?
I think a lot of the times the food is covered with wax or different things that make it sort-of inedible in order to keep it under the hot stage lights for so long, so ultimately no one eats it. I know in some Downton interviews the cast talked about how whenever they would film dinner scenes, it would take the whole day and sometimes they would "eat" fish and it would stink a lot because of how long it had to sit out while they were filming.
@@beccabradley423 What a sad waste.
I heard the lobster dinners were taken to food banks
@@amazinggrace5692 I'm sure the homeless really appreciated them. The show made the exact same joke btw. It's funny how life imitates art sometimes.
Now I feel bad for Morgan Spector being left handed and knowing that you couldn't be left handed at that point in history.
does anyone have link to the soundtrack played in the podcast
I think Bertha also has a huge portrait of herself hanging above one of the fireplaces 🧐. And in sharp contrast she is dressed in white 🤔.
Stanford White was a sleeze
Not mentioned at all in even murmurs !
*What mansions/buildings are featured in these photos on rotation during the podcast? They don't seem to be from the show.*
Leaving this comment on each episode as I listen, hope someone can answer this pretty please! It's driving me nuts!
HBO ❤ 👍
Of course the clothes are important... Its what this multi-billion dollar industry is all about.
AWEESOME
I'm curious why they decided to use a portrait of Leona Helmsley on the Astor's staircase at the very end of the episode.
LOL
Maybe they used locations in the former Helmsley Palace hotel which was previously the Villard Houses on Madison Avenue between 59/51st street. It was built by McKim, Mead and White. It once had a wonderful pink marble interior made from irreplaceable bookcased marble in solid floor to ceiling slabs. This was broken up and torn out when a certain prince owned it, simply because he did not like pink. They used to do a lovely afternoon tea there, and maybe still do. It might be worth checking if you’re in New York.
Would Marian really have been standing up munching on a finger sandwich after the guests left tea?
barry trailer when
Why is Oscar so interested in Gladys? He’s obviously not attracted to her. She’s not that fascinating. What’s his end goal?
A beard most likely.
A “beard” who comes from money. Plus she’s young and naive and won’t realize that she’s with a man who doesn’t like women until she’s married. And by then it would be too late.
@@leerhode1021 They say why on the episode. He is a fortune hunter. And it is pretty obvious that he is going to fall in love with her brother so it wouldn’t hurt to be apart of the family.
MONEY, malleable, innocence.
Are you actually confused about his end game? Really? Gurl…
Yes, Stanford White was brilliant but yes, he was a sleeze. He had an affair with another man’s wife and the man eventually shot him.
I'm enjoying the series so far - I'm English and it's interesting to see this time in New York's history. I do loathe the Russells though - Mrs Russell is brash and just overplays her hand constantly and Mr Russell's behaviour at the bazaar was just cringeworthy. It's great tv, but I'm not convinced anyone including new money would behave in such a ghastly manner.
Why do we have to have narration... why can’t we watch episode 2
will they even mention the chinese?
So far no humour at all - no one is fun. Too serious and stiff.
📝 noted
Do you mean in the TV show or the podcast? I disagree either way--on the show, characters may not be cracking jokes, but they still are fun and express wit in their dialogue. And the podcast is so much fun!
Aunt Agnes and Oscar are amazing why are you lying😂
I’m having a hard time believing a servant
is able to buy so many different, brand new, and fashionable
clothes during this time period... especially a woman of color
her family is definitely rich
She probably knows a seamstress that has exceptional skills but is a person of color. Thus, she cannot get a job as a seamstress. Her patterns show that it is a lesser fabric.
She's not a servant, she's a secretary. So she earns more than a servant. She's educated and we have yet to find out about her family, but she is already demonstrating how resourceful black people are and have been for a very long time.
@@lulubelle2009 Big Facts!
She had her mother send over her clothes which means her family comes from wealth. There was a small black elite in America during the gilded age and some like her family migrated to New York for better opportunity.
very disappointed. was not expecting satire from an englishman. its an art form that is very difficult for a non native.
I clearly didn’t understand the meaning of podcast. I thought because it’s on RUclips we’d be treated to the sets and costumes thousands of pictures or even clips of these glorious things. Instead it’s a numbing repeat of an interior that is probably not even a set. 🫤 very disappointing but learned something today.
