Off Topic: The Rise and Fall of the Vanderbilts

The besties are back and bringing you another Off Topic episode! This week, Erin surprises Veronica with a deep dive into the wildly dramatic history of the Vanderbilt family… one of America's richest dynasties. We're talking railroad fortunes, extravagant Gilded Age mansions, family feuds, shocking scandals, and how one of the wealthiest families in history somehow managed to burn through a fortune that would be worth billions today. Naturally, this leads to a very important discussion about what they both would include within their grotesquely irresponsible Vanderbilt mansions. From here, the tangents are bountiful. Erin and Veronica take listeners on their signature winding road trip of conversation… where every topic somehow leads to three more. It's cozy, chaotic, and feels less like listening to a podcast and more like hanging out with friends who invited you to pull up a chair and join the conversation. Listen and enjoy how much the besties really could care less.

No agenda. Just vibes. 🎙️✨
