The Rise of Corruption

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.
