The Met Gala just happened and it's theme was "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style." This has started a conversation about dandyism and black history. We discuss the roots of black dandyism, how it has differed from general dandyism, how it differs across cultures, and see what it offers us from a Steampunk point of view.

Steampunk is fiction informed by history, so it's good to know a thing or two about actually happened, especially when it makes such wild stories. This week we welcome hobby historian and author, Krystal Stargazer, to talk about her favorite character, her historical crush, Davey Crockett. We also discuss her book detailing her research into Austin's own Victorian serial killer, the Servant Girl Annihilator.
