Ah, the Regency era.

You might know it as the time when Bridgerton takes place, or as the time when Jane Austen wrote her books.

The Regency era was also an explosive time of social change, sex scandals, and maybe the worst king in British history.

Vulgar History's new season is all about the Regency era, the balls, the gowns, and all the scandal.

Listen to Vulgar History, Regency era, wherever you get podcasts.

Do you use a lot of emojis in your online writing, in your texts and emails?

I tend not to very often, but maybe I should do it more often because they do serve a pretty valuable purpose, it turns out.

Hi and welcome.
