Cue the classical music! We’re treating ourselves like royalty today as we go back in time to the 1820’s. The 1920’s set the bar pretty high, so how do another hundred years into the past compare?

Welcome to Life in: the 20’s! In this episode, we're visiting the Roaring 20's! Join us as we try to decide which century is better: the 1920’s or 2020’s.

We all wish we could transport ourselves to another time and place to really live life in the fullest! But was life back then all that we remember it to be?
