NEW EPISODE: If you read 19th Century French novelists, you'll find a dizzying array of currencies — francs and écus, sous and louis d'or. Let me break down what all these coins are, how much they're worth, and how Charlemagne ties everything together: thesiecle.com/supplemental20/

'This series will remind Americans of a part of our nation’s history that too many have forgotten: We didn’t win our freedom without foreign assistance.' ICYMI Kelsa, Ben Franklin Fangirl (Taylor’s Version) on 'Franklin': thebulwark.com/p/michael-doug…

I’ve started watching Franklin. My first impression? I didn’t realize that everything in 1776 had such a blue hue to it.

Thank you all for your patience and support, particularly for Fry- it's meant a great deal to us!🧡

Although the recorded narrative is at the very beginning of the Revolution, I am putting the finishing touches on the war. On to the early republic!

Many believe that books written with rigorous academic care are not enjoyable. David Head and Timothy C. Hemmis have proven this old saw wrong in their new volume, which offers new insights for casual and scholarly readers. allthingsliberty.com/2024/02/a-repu…

This week we reach one of the defining battles of the Revolution, as the British and American's fight over control of Bunker Hill. I hope you all enjoy.

War has come to the colonies…. Or has it? This week we spend our episode looking at the immediate aftermath of Lexington and Concord, as everyone tries to come to grips with what just happened and figure out just what it all means.

I had a few of you mention that my cold open on the last episode was getting cut off. I've fixed the problem so it should be fine going forward. Thanks to everybody who emailed me, and know that John Adams is scowling at me for cutting off Abigail.

It took 5 years and 137 episodes but we have reached the Revolution! This week the British march onto Lexington Green. Nothing will ever be the same.

Enjoy!
