  <title>134 – Gilding a Mess with Avi Woolf</title>
  <description>In the aftermath of the Civil War and prior to the first World War lies an often overlooked era in American history known as the Gilded Age.&amp;amp;nbsp; This was an extraordinarily “messy” period where it’s often difficult to identify the heroes to extol or villains to condemn.&amp;amp;nbsp; But it is also a period that has unusually similar parallels to our own times from rapid technological advancements, growing partisanship, and the unraveling of communities and traditions.&amp;amp;nbsp; We might benefit from a closer understanding of the lessons learned in this messy period. &amp;amp;nbsp; Saving Elephants host Josh Lewis is joined by returning guest Avi Woolf, a fellow podcaster who has been working through an in-depth and nuanced series on the Gilded Age on his podcast Avi’s Conversational Corner.&amp;amp;nbsp; He joins Josh to help decipher the mess of this era. &amp;amp;nbsp; About Avi Woolf Avi Woolf is a writer, editor, translator, and podcaster whose work has been published in Arc Digital, Commentary, National Review, The Bulwark, and The Dispatch. &amp;amp;nbsp;He was chief editor of the online Medium publication Conservative Pathways, and he—in his words—&amp;quot;hopes to help forge a path for a conservatism which is relevant for the 21st century while not abandoning the best of past wisdom.” &amp;amp;nbsp; Avi hosts his own podcast entitled Avi’s Conversational Corner, a podcast on culture, history, and politics in a broad perspective. &amp;amp;nbsp;You can find Avi on Twitter @AviWoolf &amp;amp;nbsp; </description>
