Description

Jazz clubs, saloons, and brothels — welcome to the seductive world of New Orleans at the turn of the century. It was in this smoky den of iniquity that Lulu White became one of the most well-known madams in history. But Lulu wasn’t just a successful businesswoman — she was a successful Black woman. And in a country divided by color, that was a dangerous thing to be.   Credits: Narrated by GennaRose Nethercott. Written by Alex Robinson. Researched and created by Alexandra Steed. Co-produced by Alexandra Steed, Alex Robinson, and GennaRose Nethercott. Engineered by Otis Gray. Recorded with generous support from Latchis Arts. Executive produced by Aaron Mahnke.

Harlots dives into the lives of the people lost to the shadows of history: the mistresses. Usually dubbed “harlots”, these women (and men) are often the villains of the story...if they're even mentioned at all. Join host GennaRose Nethercott for a peek beneath the sheets at some of the most scandalous affairs in history. Produced by Aaron Mahnke (Lore) and narrated by GennaRose Nethercott (Thistlefoot).
