About this episode
For our very special 25th episode, we give you all sorts of Bowery boys -- the cultural and fashion trends of the 1840s, the notorious enemy of the Five Points gangs, and that slapstick bunch of New York actors from the 1930s and 1940s. And of course, a little bit about us! NOTE: B'hoy and G'hal are really pronounced with more of an Irish brogue (think 'buoy' or 'gah-al'). But to emphasize these words (in comparison to boy and girl) we are pushing up the H sounds. Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
