About this listen

Melting Into Air, a scripted podcast hosted by Brian Reinken, explores the history and culture of the Victorian era. Was the nineteenth century a dismal period whose greed and violence poisoned hearts and minds? Was it an optimistic, forward-facing age defined by progress and reform? To what extent was it both? The series will guide you through the evidence by making every part of this strange historical world feel like a crucial element of a cohesive whole.
