In this deeply compelling and eye-opening episode, we sat down with historian and viral TikTok creator Tad Stoermer, whose work dismantles the "Patriot Myth" and reimagines the American narrative. With a resume that includes Colonial Williamsburg, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and a PhD in history, Tad is anything but your typical academic. We unpack how his journey from Capitol Hill to the classroom — and eventually to social media — led him to challenge everything he'd been taught about the founding of the United States. His powerful deconstruction of the sanitized version of history we've all been fed is nothing short of radical truth-telling. Tad's upcoming book, Resistance: A History of the United States, aims to reframe the American story through the lens of those who have fought back — often at great personal cost — in the name of equity and justice. In this episode, we dig into why real resistance isn't about fast wins, how joy itself can be an act of rebellion, and why he believes the stories we've erased are actually where the real American heroes live. Oh, and we talk about why Alexander Hamilton might've been, well, kind of an asshole. You'll laugh, you'll gasp, and you'll walk away changed. CONNECT WITH TAD:

Law school stress, colonial ghost tours, and a lingering female spirit with a grudge—what could go wrong? Emily shares her unsettling encounter in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, after a quiet evening walk turned into something far more haunting. Though she saw nothing, she knew something was there—and that it was furious. The encounter left her shaken, unable to explain why this presence felt specifically directed at her. Only later did she and her boyfriend realize they had passed the historic Wythe House, long said to be haunted by Lady Anne Skipwith—a tragic figure whose rage and heartbreak may still echo through time.

After a quiet summer night walk through Colonial Williamsburg, she felt an unease she couldn't shake. Later that evening, alone in her apartment bathroom, something unseen followed her home.

The entity seemed focused only on her… not her boyfriend.  If you have a real ghost story or supernatural event to report, please write into our show or call 1-855-853-4802!

What a Creep (Replay!) Season 20, Episode 7George Washington and the Tale of Ona JudgeGeorge Washington is the “Father of Our Country” and one of American history's most revered Founding Fathers. We heard tales of how brave he was and that he could not tell a lie. He also famously refused to create a fiefdom with the office of President, which means we are not stuck with someone in office unless they are duly elected. Like many white people of his time, he enslaved people. This is a fact, and though not unusual in his peer group--it's not a great look for a person who is enshrined all across the United States. People want to downplay his racism and evil acts.Listening to Bill Maher and Elon Musk minimize his actions made us realize we need to dive into one of the first President's most heinous acts by talking about badass Ona Judge. An enslaved woman who escaped from the President's home and remained free despite his relentless pursuit of her. This woman is an American hero whom everyone who truly believes in liberty and freedom needs to learn about and memorialize her contribution to history. Trigger Warning: Racism and slaverySources for this episode: Twisted Philly PodcastGeorge Washington WikiDaily MailOney Judge WikiDrunk History with Jen Kirkman Mt.

On this special-release episode of PreserveCast, we're sitting down with Jack Gary from Colonial Williamsburg's Department of Archaeology to discuss the opening of a "new" site at Colonial Williamsburg. Today, on Juneteenth, Colonial Williamsburg is opening a powerful chapter of American history,  the Williamsburg Bray School, the nation's oldest-known schoolhouse used to educate enslaved and free Black children. The site dramatically expands the narrative of Colonial Williamsburg, deepening how the museum tells the story of our country's origins through the lens of race, education, faith, and community. The project also centers descendant voices, who are helping to shape how these stories are shared with the public. About Our Guest Jack leads all aspects of archaeological research within Colonial Williamsburg's Department of Archaeology. He oversees a department of 30 professional archaeologists engaged in historical research, field excavation, laboratory analyses, and documentation of Colonial Williamsburg's archaeological resources. He is an expert in the field of environmental and garden archaeology, community engaged approaches to archaeology, and material culture studies. The Foundation's archaeological collection of over 60 million artifacts falls under Jack's responsibility.

AP correspondent Donna Warder reports on history being uncovered at Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia.

 Williamsburg was the thriving capital of Virginia when the dream of American freedom and independence was taking shape. From 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg was the political, cultural, and educational center of what was then the largest, most populous, and most influential of the American colonies.The seat of government in Virginia moved to Richmond in 1780. In 1926, the Rev. Dr. W.A.R. Goodwin, rector of Bruton Parish Church, joined with philanthropist John D. Rockefeller Jr. to restore the town to its 18th-century appearance.Today we know it as Colonial Williamsburg, a not-for-profit 501(c)3) educational institution and the largest U.S. history museum in the world. By researching and sharing the fascinating stories of those who built America, including people of all backgrounds, we can better understand history and shape our future. https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/http://www.yourlotandparcel.org

Spring is a popular time to visit Colonial Williamsburg, not least because it's “lambing season,” the time of year when baby lambs are born and take their first steps (which is obviously very, very cute). But small as they are, these lambs have a big baaa-ckstory (sorry) – they are part of a breed that was once guarded like a trade secret, was smuggled into the American colonies, went extinct in the US in the early 20th century, and then was brought back right here at Colonial Williamsburg. This episode was produced in partnership with Visit Williamsburg. Find out more at Visit Williamsburg.
