Gentleman Jack Historical Nightcap - A Jaunty Ted Talk on: Grubbling, The Chaumiere, and the Legend of the Petticoats

Season 1, Ep. 2.5

Hey ho friends! Be forewarned we get a little turnt this episode thanks to honey whiskey and apple brandy, but we’re thinking this will be a running theme. In this second #HistoricalNightcap installment of #GentlemanJackCrack, we talk grubbling, grubbling, and then grubbling some more. Oh to toil with the petticoats! And toil she did.. Anne Lister that is, and we deep dive into a few of our favorite entries about her gay adventures with Mrs. Barlow, while also taking a look at what is known of the Lister family, her DIY moss house ambitions, and Anne and Ann’s first day date which leads to an incurred cross! Join us with a beverage of your choosing, as we take a deeper look into the extraordinary life of Anne Lister.

    We’re halfway through the season guys! Can you believe it? In this midway point episode from #GentlemanJackCrack we discuss the sapphic angst beginning to surface between our ladies and interrupt their peaceful grubbles. Ann Walker’s sleeves are the largest they’ve ever been, Anne gets dirty with the men again, and our Patron Saint of Thirst gets another letter. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY LETTERS?? We also get a cameo from Mariana Lawton and her brother (spoiler: it’s PETTY) in this recap of Gentleman Jack episode 4 “Most Women are Dull and Stupid”.For our Patreon subscribers, you’ve probably already seen the first “watch along” we posted for this episode, but that’s now a thing!
