We love our trials of the century here at Strange Country and this one is a doozy. It's likely one you've never heard of: Rhinelander v Rhinelander. See a young aristocrat married a domestic worker and everyone went all “heavens to betsy” about it, but what made it bring out the worst in people was that the working class bride was biracial. This was in 1924 before the country accepted interracial marriage and the KKK was on the resurgence—or what we could now call the present time.

The 1930 U.S. Census captures America in an unsettled moment. The Roaring Twenties were winding down, but the Great Depression was just beginning to take hold. It's a census taken in the calm before the storm fully broke. A generation that had just emerged from the trauma of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic found itself navigating economic boom—and, soon after, one of the most devastating financial collapses in history. This makes the 1930 census especially valuable to genealogists and family historians. It not only shows us where people were and what they were doing, but it offers a final snapshot of prosperity for some, and for others, early signs of hardship. When read alongside the 1920 census, it helps us ask important questions: Did families move in search of work? Were more people renting than owning? Did younger generations start their adult lives in very different ways from their parents? It's also a census that teeters between old and new. Traditional jobs and family structures still dominated, but you can see modern America coming into view, especially in cities. With the next census in 1940 capturing a nation preparing for war, the 1930 census stands as a middle chapter in a story of massive change.

We've now arrived at the 1920 U.S. Census—the first one taken after the end of World War I. This moment in history holds a lot beneath the surface. If your ancestors were alive during this time, they had just come through a pandemic (the 1918 flu), experienced wartime hardship, and were witnessing a country beginning to shift from rural traditions into a modern age. The census taken in January 1920 captures Americans right as the Roaring Twenties were warming up. I always find this census one of the more reflective ones. It's not just data—it's people picking up the pieces, building again, sometimes moving to new places, sometimes adjusting to deep losses. And that comes through in the questions that were asked and the answers your ancestors gave. Whether you're tracing great-grandparents, immigrants, or just curious about the records, the 1920 census is rich with clues...

Cagney and Bogart take to streets with bootlegging crime in this classic 1939 film, The Roaring Twenties.

In de bluesmuziek was de trein aanvankelijk hęt symbool van de vrijheid. De trein denderde langs de plantages in het zuiden, de trein was een modern, technisch vernuft, de trein bracht avontuurlijke reizigers naar de steden in het noorden en de trein was er om mensen weg te loodsen uit hun armoede, of weg van het ellendige racisme dat hen maar bleef achtervolgen. Maar tijdens de welvarende Roaring Twenties kwam daar verandering in: de auto reed de trein voorbij als symbool van individuele vrijheid en status.De eerste auto's werden in de Verenigde Staten al aan het eind van de negentiende eeuw gebouwd. Het centrum van de auto-industrie was de stad Detroit in het Noordoosten van Amerika. En tijdens de jaren twintig van de vorige eeuw bereikte deze auto-industrie een hoogtepunt. Dat succes was helemaal toe te schrijven aan één man: Henry Ford: Ford vereenvoudigde het productieproces, en daarmee zorgde hij er voor dat de auto beschikbaar werd voor het gemene publek. Er werd over Ford heel veel gepraat… en gezongen. In deze aflevering gaan we dan ook op zoek naar bluesnummers die de auto eren: Automobile Blues.Vind je deze podcast inspirerend en leerrijk?

Can jewelry be used as an instrument in liberation or a tool in the struggle for freedom? It is the early 20th century. The world is abuzz with countless battles: those that tear nations apart, but also those for women's rights.It is in this tumultuous context that the Art Deco movement emerges.The jewelry pieces born from this artistic movement become symbols of modernity, freedom, and audacity. In their own way, they accompany the emancipation of women, in particular in the 1920s, nicknamed the “Roaring Twenties”! Their elegance stems from their audacity, mixed with an apparent simplicity. Yet, some of these jewelry items hide unexpected secrets... and even sly war strategies, like the famous Zouzou bracelet worn by Josephine Baker!Voice of Jewels, a podcast from L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts supported by Van Cleef & Arpels.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageReagan would be horrified by today's $36 trillion national debt—36 times the figure he found alarming in 1981. Yet history offers powerful lessons for growing our economy under this crushing weight through the success stories of three administrations that sparked extraordinary economic booms.The Coolidge administration of the 1920s provides our first blueprint. Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon implemented a remarkably effective strategy: slashing top tax rates from 73% to 25%, cutting federal spending from $5.1 billion to $3.1 billion, and reducing national debt by one-third. The results? A sustained 4% annual GDP growth, 70% surge in industrial output, and unemployment below 4%—the "Roaring Twenties" weren't just cultural, but economic dynamism unleashed through deliberate policy.Kennedy later bucked Democratic orthodoxy by cutting the top tax rate from 91% to 70% in 1963. Though his rhetoric emphasized employment goals, the mechanics mirrored Mellon's approach. The economy responded dramatically with growth hitting 5.8% in 1964 and 6.6% by 1966. Reagan made these connections explicit, implementing tax cuts that slashed rates from 70% to 28%. Despite criticisms about defense spending, the economy soared—4.6% growth in 1983, an astonishing 7.2% in 1984, followed by years of consistent 3.5-4.2% expansion.What's sobering is our current economic anemia. America hasn't experienced consecutive years of 3%+ growth since before 2005. The prescription for prosperity remains remarkably consistent across a century: slash taxes to stimulate investment, cut spending to shrink deficits, and pay down debt to free up capital. The blueprint exists—we need only the wisdom to follow it.Key Points from the Episode:• Coolidge and Treasury Secretary Mellon cut tax rates from 73% to 25% in the 1920s• Their formula: slash taxes, cut federal spending, pay down debt to free up capital• Result was 4% annual GDP growth and the "Roaring 20s" economic boom• Kennedy bucked Democratic orthodoxy with tax cuts from 91% to 70%• Economy responded with growth rates of 5.8% in 1964 and 6.6% in 1966• Reagan's tax cuts led to 4.6% growth in 1983 and 7.2% in 1984• America hasn't seen consecutive years of 3%+ growth since before 2005• Today's prescription remains the same: tax cuts, spending restraint, debt reductionJoin us for our next episode where we'll explore how the American economy functions like a race car, breaking down the mechanics of sustainable growth in more detail.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

The Great Gatsby is often called the great American novel. Emblematic of an entire era, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic tale of illicit desire, grand illusions, and lost dreams is rendered in a lyrical prose that revives a vanished world of glittering parties and vibrant jazz, where money and deceit walk hand in hand. Rich in humor, sharply observant of status and class, the book tells the story of Jay Gatsby's efforts to keep his faith - in money, in love, in all the promises of America - amid the chaos and conflict of life on Long Island's Gold Coast during the Roaring Twenties.  The Cambridge Centennial Edition of The Great Gatsby (Cambridge UP, 2025) presents the established version of the text in a collector's volume replete with social, cultural, and historical context, and numerous illustrations. The authoritative introduction examines persistent myths about Fitzgerald, his greatest work, and the age he embodies, while offering fresh ways of reading this iconic work.

When defenders of the British royal family scrounged around for dirt on Wallis Simpson, the divorced U.S.-born fiancee of King Edward VIII, they often highlighted her year spent in China—often sharing scurrilous, and poorly-sourced–if not entirely unfounded–details of her time there. China historian Paul French tries to set the record straight with Her Lotus Year: China, the Roaring Twenties, and the Making of Wallis Simpson (St. Martins: 2024). Simpson managed to have a jam-packed year, with time spent in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, as different warlords fought for control of China. Paul French was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times Bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He received the Mystery Writers' of America Edgar award for Best Fact Crime and a Crime Writers' Association (UK) Dagger award for non-fiction. Both Midnight in Peking and his latest book City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir are currently in development for film.

When defenders of the British royal family scrounged around for dirt on Wallis Simpson, the divorced U.S.-born fiancee of King Edward VIII, they often highlighted her year spent in China—often sharing scurrilous, and poorly-sourced–if not entirely unfounded–details of her time there. China historian Paul French tries to set the record straight with Her Lotus Year: China, the Roaring Twenties, and the Making of Wallis Simpson (St. Martins: 2024). Simpson managed to have a jam-packed year, with time spent in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai and Beijing, as different warlords fought for control of China. Paul French was born in London and lived and worked in Shanghai for many years. His book Midnight in Peking was a New York Times Bestseller and a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. He received the Mystery Writers' of America Edgar award for Best Fact Crime and a Crime Writers' Association (UK) Dagger award for non-fiction. Both Midnight in Peking and his latest book City of Devils: A Shanghai Noir are currently in development for film.

Herbert Hoover was elected president in 1928, when the country was enjoying the booming economy of the Roaring Twenties. It wouldn't last long. The stock market crashed just a year later, and a full-scale economic depression set in.

The American socialite Wallis Simpson is best known as the wife of former British king Edward VIII. When they announced their intention to marry, her status as a divorcée (and an American) caused a constitutional crisis that led to Edward's abdication in 1936. But long before that, Simpson's adventures had led her to spend a year in interwar China, from 1924-25, while fleeing her abusive first husband and allegedly transporting U.S. diplomatic documents. Later maligned by the British press for this "lotus year," the truth of Simpson's China sojourn reveals much about the chaotic state of the nation in the 1920s, and attitudes toward it — and foreigners living there — from outside.Our guest on the podcast this month is Paul French, a British writer who lived in Shanghai in the 1990s and 2000s, where he ran a market research firm. He is the author of several books on modern Chinese history, including the bestselling Midnight in Peking (Viking, 2012) and City of Devils (Picador, 2018). His latest title, Her Lotus Year: China, the Roaring Twenties, and the Making of Wallis Simpson (St Martin's Press, 2024), tells the full story of Simpson's China year, long before her tryst with King Edward VIII caused a scandal worthy of Harry and Megan. French talked to us about the political backdrop to this personal drama, what it shows about the status of foreigners in China, and the state of the “China book” in general.The China Books Podcast is a companion of China Books Review, a project of Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations and The Wire, a digital business platform that also publishes The Wire China.

"Meet me at 2:00 PM at the Greyhound bus station. You know he's dead. If you want to know who killed him, I have the proof."In the summer of 1979, two youngsters in West Virginia struck up a fling. 25-year-old Mazie Mae Sigmon-Palmer was recently divorced and 18-year-old Jay Farley was fresh out of high school. Both were in transitory phases of their lives and recognized that their relationship was likely temporary, but they seemed to be enjoying it while it lasted.On the evening of July 14th, the two met up at a nightclub in downtown Charleston, called the Roaring Twenties. There, they hung out for a bit and even talked with some friends of theirs. But at some point that night, both would vanish. It wasn't until years later that evidence surfaced revealing what had happened to one of them, but the circumstances of their initial disappearance - and what led up to it - remain clouded in mystery...Researched & written by Bethany BransonHosted & produced by Micheal WhelanMusic composed and created by Micheal WhelanLearn more about this podcast at http://unresolved.meIf you would like to support this podcast, consider heading to https://www.patreon.com/unresolvedpod to become a Patron or ProducerBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unresolved--3266604/support.

In honor of what is for many people the final days of summer, the New Yorker Radio Hour team presents a conversation that may inspire your end-of-summer reading list: David Remnick talks to Hernan Diaz about his book, Trust, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 2023. The novel's plot focuses on the daughter of eccentric aristocrats after she marries a Wall Street tycoon of dubious ethics during the Roaring Twenties. The novel is told by four people in four different formats, which offer conflicting accounts of the couple's life, the tycoon's misdeeds, and his role in the crash of 1929. “What I was interested in, and this is why I chose finance capital, I wanted a realm of pure abstraction,” he tells David Remnick. Diaz's first book, In The Distance, will be released in hardback for the first time in October.

Legend has it that Calvin Coolidge slept 11 hours a day during his presidency. Scholars today often mock Coolidge for being a passive, ineffective leader. Yet, the fact remains that this reticent man from New England rose to become one of America's most popular presidents during one of the nation's most dynamic eras. In this episode, we examine Calvin Coolidge unlikely rise as the 30th president of the United States.
