Gilded Age Scandal: The Shocking, Tragic Story of Evelyn Nesbit - a podcast by DC by Foot

This week we have a scandal of a different kind, a darker kind. We are tackling the story of Evelyn Nesbit and the architect Stanford White. A story about desire and greed at the height of Gilded Age New York.

Join Becca and Rebecca for a story that isn’t a good guy versus bad guy, but a story with two and a half bad folks, and a tragically abused victim.
