Teenage Rampage - William Hickey 1768
Manage episode 412963902 series 3294270
Take a walk on the very wild side in 18th century London with teenage "Lad About Town," William Hickey.
There's sex, booze, fighting and disrespecting of elders - what's the youth of yesterday coming to?
It’s a nostalgic rose-tinted saunter through the taverns and brothels of Georgian England with a young man who would become famous for his diaries and memoirs chronicling scandal, political intrigue, court life and overseas travel during a vibrant age.
But in 1768 he's just a horny teenager.
- Is stealing a rowing boat morally unacceptable?
- Which was the most violent pub in London - possibly?
- What do you do when caught in bed with another man's mistress?
- Should you ever drink anything described as "..a villainous compound of filth?"
All these and many more questions will be answered in episode 38 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - The podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
Thanks for listening. Stay Roguish!
