Heads up- I used AI to edit the audio, and it sounds wonky; in addition, I repeated myself a million times when I lost my place on the script. I’m a bit rusty.


Join me as I transport you to a fictional story set at the Jersey Shore in 1892, during the height of the Gilded Age. This was a time when an acre of land by the ocean could be purchased for just $90. The wealthy elite were constructing grand Victorian mansions along the shore, while professional classes were building their summer homes. Meanwhile, the working class and immigrants enjoyed overnight trips to the boardwalks and amusements of the Jersey Shore.
