This week we're finally getting around to discussing all things Bridgerton, from the images and objects that make up the show's material cultures, to its sense of historical accuracy (or lack thereof!), and how it represents a range of identities both historical and contempory. We also talk about Regencycore, and both Caroline and Serena share their experiences of Bridgerton-themed parties. Enjoy!
