    We're traveling to Yorkshire in our latest episode, where Kayla and Jordan are RANTING about this new Wuthering Heights. The film, which is directed by Emerald Fennell and stars Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie, is drawing a lot of attention online with controversial first looks and behind the scenes photos. Kayla and Jordan talk about theories to do with the new film and some of the arguements for and against Fennell directing the new version.  Then, we dive into the menacing world of blackmailing in the Georgian era where we explore court cases from the 1700s where loss of reputation was almost as dangerous as death...   The Development of Blackmail: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1089700    Also, we're on Youtube, subscribe for more period drama content!

We explore the dangerous underground world of boxing in Victorian London, where we talk about bare knuckle boxing and the lives of real boxers like Hezekiah and Alec, who were risking their lives in and outside of the ring. We also look into Mary's budding relationship with the rising boxer and our speculation for adventure in Season 2.  The series, created by the makers of Peaky Blinders, features Malachi Kirby as Hezekiah Moscow, Stephen Graham as the formidable bare-knuckle boxing champion Sugar Goodson, and Erin Doherty as Mary Carr, the cunning leader of the infamous all‐female criminal gang, the Forty Elephants.

    Wondering what Penelope Featherington's life would have really been like as a "spinster?" What about newlywed Kate Bridgerton as a married woman? Or how about Lady Danbury as a widow? In our final episode of Beyond Bridgerton we speak with author and historian Charlotte Furness about the real lives of married, single and widowed women in upper class Britain during the Regency period and compare them to their Bridgerton counterparts. We explored what it really would have been like to look for husbands on the marriage mart, live an independent life like ambitious Eloise Bridgerton and how women lived through scandal and heartbreak in Georgian society. Through examples from her book Lady of the House: Elite 19th Century Women and Their Role in the English Country House, Charlotte chats with us about women in history who were instrumental in running estates such as Lampton Hall,  Belvoir Castle and Shibden Hall and reality vs fiction of depictionsof these upperclass women in period dramas and historical fiction.
