Tonight Jennifer confronts the winter blues head-on with an imaginary excursion on the ill-fated Prinzessin Victoria Luise, the first ship designed specifically for pleasure cruising. We're traveling back to 1901 for this little trip, and on that maiden voyage, everything is glittering and beautiful--just as it should be. But, as is so often the case (and why is that? Jennifer wonders...) tragedy looms large in the future of our lovely ship. A crash, a suicide, on-board pandemonium (or not?)--it's all part of the Victoria Luise story. It's a bit much for Jennifer, so she indulges in an extended side-bar to learn more about the famous (and ah-MAZING) Louis Vitton steamer trunks of the era. Is this episode about Gilded Age glamour, historic ships, weird psychology, or sensationalistic journalism? Uh...all of the above. This is a vacation that could only be taken in Circa 19xx Land.
News: Jennifer now has a YouTube channel!
Season 3 episodes of Circa Sunday Night will now air on YouTube as well as the usual podcast platforms. Now and then there will be some video out there, too.
