Relative Strangers
Poet and teacher Taylor Mali knows more about his family than anyone really needs to know, especially the branch that has lived in New York City for 400 years. However, they don't all know him or each other—they are relative strangers to each other—so getting all 450 of them to meet in person in the summer of 2024 is going to be a struggle or a train wreck.
Relative Strangers
9. Hanky Panky in Marble House in 1872!
This episode begins with the most SHOCKING, PRURIENT, and SCANDALOUS installment of "The Scullion's Hearth," Taylor Mali's entirely fictional (although completely plausible) account of what life might have been like in Marble House as seen through the eyes of housemaid named Bridget (beautifully read by New York City actress Megan McQuillan)! Also included are some updates on planned activities for the long-awaited family reunion in June of 2024.
