&
Greta Hardin (The History of American Food podcast & @THoAFood all over)
join forces to go over just what the hell is happeneing in this move, and why it really does need to be 3 hours long.
If you are ready to dive and and hear all about why the 19th Century is responsible for not just America, but the Modern World as we know it, jump in, strap in (and strap up? might be wise...) and hang on.
If you want to watch along, as of July 2023, Gangs of New York is available:
