Kevin Scott's Freetown: An American Story by Our Hamptons. Episode 96.
Esperanza and Irwin have discussed Freetown, East Hampton previously. It has been a stand alone episode, and has come up often organically. This episode presents Freetown through the eyes of Freetown resident Kevin Scott. Kevin cares deeply about Freetown's past, and is outspoken in his concern for its future. At its core, Freetown is an American story, and as often is the case, it's abundantly clear so many aspects of American History come through when viewed through the lens of East Hampton itself.

Prohibition on Eastern Long Island. by Our Hamptons. Season 7, Episode 85
Prohibition on Eastern Long Island. by Our Hamptons. Season 7, Episode 85
Esperanza and Irwin delve into the Prohibition Era, 1920 to 1933. There apparently were lots of hands in the till, making money from Prohibition on Long Island, or Liquor Island, as one prominent minister was quoted as saying. Carl Fisher, who's Island Club on Montauk's Star Island was the most glamorous speakeasy of its time, with patrons like Ernest Hemingway and NYC Mayor Jimmy Walker. Arthur Benson, where $250,000 worth of alcohol, a staggering amount in 1925, was confiscated from his 4000 acre estate. But it was the fishermen and baymen involved as well, eluding not just the authorities like the Coast Guard, but pirates and mobsters, like Al Capone, while transporting alcohol throughout Long Island and into NYC. With further involvement from Temperance Societies in the early 19th century, to the KKK's support of prohibition in an effort to appear patriotic, we were amazed at all the story lines that converge in this podcast. Listening is Believing.

A Tale of Two Houses: Sherrill or Parsons ,with Mary Foster Morgan by Our Hamptons. Episode 84.
Esperanza and Irwin welcome Mary Foster Morgan. The Sherrills and Parsons are two of the East End’s oldest families, here for generations. Mary shares her Grandmother Sherrill’s stories of the two Sherrill houses. One, opposite the Dominy workshop on North Main, the second on Main Street, East Hampton Village. Mary grew fascinated by who lived in these historic homes, and tells us of old East Hampton values that resonate to this day.
50 Years Of The Hampton Classic by Our Hamptons. Episode 83
50 Years Of The Hampton Classic by Our Hamptons. Episode 83
Esperanza and Irwin discuss the trajectory of the Hampton Classic over the years. It's origins started as the annual Horse Show in Southampton in the early 1900's, overlooking Lake Agawam. It flourished to the point of some horse enthusiasts forming the Southampton Riding and Hunt Club in 1922. The depression created a long hiatus for the show until the early 1950's, and its rebirth as a fundraiser for the Parrish Museum. In the 1970's it moved to Dune Alpin Farm in East Hampton for a bit, and has been at its current Bridgehampton location since 1982. Its expansion into one of the premier events of its kind in the world, mirroring the ever rising profile of eastern Long Island.

Jerry Torre: The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens by Our Hamptons. Season 6, Episode 82.
Esperanza and Irwin didn't intend for this podcast to go 59 minutes, our longest episode to date. Jerry Torre's fascinating story, as a teenager in his friend Billy's Lazy Point fishing cottage, to his work on the Geddes estate on Lily Pond Lane is riveting. But his years living and working for the Beales at Grey Gardens, his involvement in the Maysles documentary and his personal recollections is at the the heart of this special podcast.

Lost Buildings of Montauk by Our Hamptons. Season 6, Episode 79.
Esperanza and Irwin reflect on the Lost Montauk, from a terrific article written by Henry Osmers for the Montauk Historical Society. Curiously, Montauk often doesn't get the historical respect, for lack of a better term, than other East End villages or hamlets do. We'll visit First House, the Montauk Island Club, Sandpiper Hill and the Wyandanee Inn and more in this homage to Montauk's rich history.
Art Village at Shinnecock, Then and Now. by Our Hamptons. Season 6, Episode 78.
Art Village at Shinnecock, Then and Now. by Our Hamptons. Season 6, Episode 78.
Esperanza and Irwin talk about the Shinnecock Summer School of Art, the first outdoors Art School in the US, founded in 1891. Students had the opportunity to learn from the renowned artist William Merritt Chase. Now, Chase was and is a well known Artist. But it was the Art Village cottages, grouped near the studio in the Shinnecock Hills, that is the off-radar part of the story. These properties, in different styles on curving streets created its own sense of wonder. What presented itself was almost whimsical, a storybook like setting. Best of all, it exists to this day. Listening is believing!
