The HBO series "The Gilded Age" is a sumptuous drama about old money vs. new in 1880\'s New York. The costumes are ornate, the architecture is Beaux-Arts, and the elbows are sharp. Behind the veneer there is labor unrest, economic inequity, segregation, and opera wars. We speak with\\xa0Greg Young, the co-host of The Bowery Boys podcast, and\\xa0Carl Raymond, the host of The Gilded Gentleman podcast, about the real history underpinning the series.
