Podcasts about George Washington

March 16, 2026 In early 1775, Boston was bitterly divided, The British occupied the town as Patriots built fortifications, Militiamen led by Benedict Arnold and Ethan Allen seized cannons and other weapons from Fort Ticonderoga, 300 miles away, The Second Continental Congress created the Continental Army, appointing George Washington as commander in chief, Henry Knox, a friend of Washington, developed a plan to retrieve the Fort Ticonderoga cannons and bring them to Boston, After several grueling months, the cannons were delivered, As British soldiers and Washington's men traded fire in Boston, Patriots fortified the town. In a major victory for the Patriots, the British negotiated the evacuation of soldiers and loyalists from Boston, Evacuation bolstered the Patriot cause as a just and winning one. Less than four months later, Patriots took the extraordinarily daring step of declaring independence from the King.   Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

250 years ago, the British evacuated Boston: driven out by cannon that had traveled 300 miles from Fort Ticonderoga. But where did the plan for those cannons take shape?In this Revisited episode, we return to our conversation with Garrett Cloer, now Program Manager for Interpretation and Visitor Experience at Saratoga National Historical Park, to explore the Longfellow House–Washington's Headquarters National Historic Site in Cambridge, Massachusetts.This Georgian mansion served as George Washington's home and headquarters for nearly nine months during the Siege of Boston. In this house, Washington forged the Continental Army and plotted the moves that liberated the city. Garrett reveals the house's Loyalist origins, life inside during the siege, and how poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow later transformed it into a literary landmark.A companion to Episode 436 on Henry Knox's Noble Train of Artillery.

John welcomes acclaimed documentarian Ken Burns to discuss his latest PBS magnum opus, “The American Revolution.” Burns recounts the 10-year gestation of the six-part, 12-hour series, culminating with its fortuitous (but entirely coincidental) debut on the eve of the U.S. Semiquincentennial; how he assembled the remarkable array of Hollywood stars—Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, and dozens more—who voice the story's key historical figures; and the case for George Washington as the revolution's indispensable man, without whom America would not exist. Burns also reveals the five (yes, five) embryonic series on which he's currently at work.

4. Joseph Ellis, *The Cause: The American Revolution and Its Discontents, 1773 to 1783*. Thomas Paine's *Common Sense* revolutionized the rebellion by using plain language to argue that an island could not rule a continent and that monarchies were inherently flawed. Paine shifted the movement's focus from the rights of Englishmen to the natural rights of all human beings, making American victory seem inevitable. However, the harsh reality of war was felt at Valley Forge, where George Washington's army faced starvation and exposure due to a lack of congressional support. During that brutal winter, approximately 1,200 soldiers died of malnutrition and exposure, testing the endurance of those who "stayed the course". (4)1865 PARIS

  Guest: Campbell Panetti   If you've been hanging around T4M for a while, you know that we take the designation of “friend” to be very important. I often share a quote from George Washington - here it is in its entirety: “Be courteous to all, but intimate with few, and let those few be well tried before you give them your confidence. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity before it is entitled to appellation.” Recently my youngest, Campbell, approached me with a new thought and addition to this conversation - he was saying that there are different levels of friends, too - that those who are your most intimate friends are your fellowship - and we see this modeled in the life and ministry of Jesus as well. Jesus had the 12 disciples, but He often took the 3 (Peter, James, and John) while leaving the others. Apparently this concept is supported by science and research as well. According to psychologist Robin Dunbar, the maximum number of close friends that a person can have is about five people - you can have a larger circle of friends (about 15 people) and another circle of about 50…and the maximum number of people that a person can have “meaningful contact” with is about 150 people. The last part of our conversation dealt with the idea that “friends accept each other as they are.” I don't wholeheartedly agree with that assessment - I think Scripture teaches us that friends are important tools to sharpen and improve us, often through saying hard truths and constructive criticism. Proverbs 27:17 says, “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” The only way for iron to sharpen iron is for there to be honest and open conflict/friction to remove areas of weakness or sin. Hopefully you have friends around you who are working to help you be a better version of yourself!

Send a textIn this episode, I share a powerful classroom project in which my middle school students created a museum-style exhibit exploring slavery in the President's House in Philadelphia, the home of George Washington during the early years of the United States. Through research, art, writing, and hands-on building, students investigated the lives of the people enslaved there. Rather than writing traditional reports, students designed exhibits: research panels, artifacts, models, and visual displays that explored the contradictions between the ideals of liberty in the founding era and the reality of slavery within the president's household.In this episode, I explain why projects like this matter, how students approached the work of interpreting history, and how teachers can create opportunities for students to think like historians and share their work with an authentic audience. When students are trusted to wrestle with complicated history, they often rise to the challenge in extraordinary ways.Let's be friends and continue the conversation!Instagram: @teachinghistoryherwayX: http://www.twitter.com/historyherwayOn the Web/Blog: http://www.teachinghistoryherway.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/teachinghistoryherwayBlueSky: @historyherway.bsky.socialSupport the production of the Teaching History Her Way Podcast by purchasing some really great history tees.

Griffin Warner talks betting for Friday Griffin Warner opened the latest episode of What I Bet On from Dallas, running through a Friday card that featured soccer across Spain, Italy, France and Germany, along with an early look at college basketball. He noted that the show entered the night on a two game best bet winning streak after cashing Iowa under on March 5 and Northwestern plus five against Indiana on March 11, and said the goal was to make it three in a row. In Spain, Warner broke down Deportivo Alaves as a home underdog against Villarreal and said his strongest interest was the under two and a half goals, pointing to Alaves ability to dictate tempo and turn games physical. In Italy, he discussed Torino against Parma and leaned toward a low scoring match as well, saying he preferred waiting to see Parma rise to a larger underdog price while also liking the under with the extra quarter goal. In France, he focused on Auxerre as a road underdog at Metz and said he expected a competitive match, with interest in Auxerre plus one and a half if the market moved there by kickoff. In Germany, he highlighted Borussia Monchengladbach against St. Pauli and said the under two and a quarter goals stood out most because he did not trust St. Pauli to score. Warner also promoted Pregame s Madness 2026 contest, describing it as a free college basketball competition that runs through the national title game on April 6, with prizes for the top 10 finishers based on net profit. Turning to college basketball, he opened with George Washington against Saint Louis in the Atlantic 10 and said the number showed respect for George Washington, especially with the lower seeded team already having played on the neutral court. He then looked at Ohio State against Michigan and argued that 13 points was too large, citing Ohio State s game under its belt and the possibility of a respectable close loss carrying value. In the SEC, he evaluated Kentucky against Florida and said 10 and a half points felt too high for a neutral court rivalry game, even while acknowledging Florida s strength inside. He also pointed to Wisconsin against Illinois as another game where the underdog deserved attention, saying eight points was a significant number for a Wisconsin team that had already played on site and recently beaten Purdue on the road. Warner closed by promoting the code dance20 for 20 percent off at Pregame through March 23 and made Wisconsin plus eight his best bet, saying he expected the number to fall and viewed the matchup as a close game, with an added suggestion to split the wager between the first half and the full game.

The BIT Improv Comedy Network – Mainstage Professor Michael Delaney Visits Dobbs Ferry This month on Mainstage, host Billy Merritt welcomes longtime collaborator and improv legend Professor Michael Delaney to talk about one very specific place: Dobbs Ferry, New York.

Michael shares stories from his years living in Dobbs Ferry, raising a kid outside New York City, biking the Croton Aqueduct, and navigating the town's mysterious dining scene (including a sushi restaurant that specializes in being closed). From there, the Mainstage ensemble builds an entire comedic universe inspired by the town's lore.

Sean Patrick Brennan, (D-House District 14)State Representative Sean Patrick Brennan has dedicated his life to public service. He firmly believes that his story informs his calling to public service and proves that the American Dream survives. After his father abandoned his family, his strong mother modeled the importance of family and the satisfaction of a hard day's work, making their trailer a home and utilizing public assistance only as needed. Sadly, his mother later suffered through an abusive relationship. As a result, Rep. Brennan was blessed when his loving grandmother took him in to help tend the family farm and focus on his studies.Rep. Brennan went on to attend the University of Dayton where he graduated summa cum laude earning a Bachelor's Degree in International Studies concentrating in Russian, Soviet, and East European Studies. While there, he fell in love with Deena Denk from Parma, where they currently reside and raised their two beautiful children. He has also completed graduate-level coursework in history, political science, economics, and pedagogy at several colleges and universities and has a Master's Degree in Secondary School Administration from Cleveland State University. Brennan's scholarly activities involve projects on the subjects of the U.S. Constitution, religious freedom in America, and various other American political and historical topics at George Washington's Mount Vernon, James Madison's Montpelier, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the University of Oxford in England, George Washington University in Washington, D.C., the Bill of Rights Institute in Arlington, Virginia, and the Ashbrook Center at Ashland University.Rep. Brennan served as an award-winning public school teacher for three decades, as well as a Parma councilman for nearly two decades, including over a decade as the at-large elected President of Council and the Public Housing Board of Ohio's 7th largest city. He is active in civic, professional, and charitable organizations, which include founder and board member of the Andrew Boyko Scholarship Foundation, St. Charles Borromeo Parish lector and adult server, Friends of Parma Libraries life member, founder of the Parma Peanut Butter Drive benefitting All Faiths Pantry, founder and past adviser of the Parma Youth Commission, advisory board member of Big Creek Connects, member of West Creek Conservancy, Parma Historical Society, the City Club of Cleveland, German Central Foundation, National Education Association, Ohio Education Association, and Northeast Ohio Education Association.An avid runner and advocate of healthy living, Rep. Brennan has completed over 100 full marathons, as well as countless other smaller running events. His love of running led to his creation of the annual Parma Run-Walk for Pierogies, which has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities. Among other projects, his charitable work led to the creation of the script Parma sign which was subsequently donated to the City of Parma and adorns Anthony Zielinski Park and raising thousands of dollars to assist residents whose incomes were negatively impacted by the pandemic.Rep. Brennan was nominated Ohio Teacher of the Year, selected for the Parma Senior Veterans Appreciation Award, “Citizen of the Year” by the Friends of Parma Libraries, “Friend of PEA” by the Parma Education Association, “Conservationist of the Year” by the Cuyahoga Soil and Water Conservation District, “Parma Democrat of the Year” by the Parma Democratic Party, “Teacher of the Year” by the Cleveland American Middle Eastern Association (C.A.M.E.O.), and the “Good Partner Award” by Goodwill Industries.Rep.

Mount Rushmore is one of the most famous monuments in the United States. Nearly everyone can recognize the towering faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln carved into the granite of the Black Hills of South Dakota. But the real story behind Mount Rushmore is far more complicated—and far more fascinating—than most people realize. In this episode of Parkography, we explore the surprising history behind America's most recognizable monument. From the unlikely idea of South Dakota historian Doane Robinson, to the larger-than-life and controversial sculptor Gutzon Borglum, to the hundreds of workers who risked their lives carving the mountain with dynamite and hand tools during the Great Depression.

“Beyond the Duplex Planet” is a feature documentary about artist David Greenberger and his unconventional work with senior citizens. In 1979, fresh out of art school, Greenberger took a job as activities director at the Duplex Nursing Home in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. He began conducting quirky interviews with the home's senior citizens, rejecting a pat oral history approach in favor of questions that would spark engagement: “Which do you prefer – coffee or meat?” “Why do people spit?” “What do you think George Washington's voice sounded like?” and “What is embarrassment?” The result of this was The Duplex Planet, an early ‘zine, complete with excerpts from the interviews, as well as offbeat music reviews and poems, unorthodox illustrations and graphics, all by the residents themselves. Over time this material has become the basis for spoken word shows, podcasts, graphic novels and numerous albums, many of these projects featuring well-known artists. Champions and/or collaborators of Greenberger and his senior colleagues include people like magicians Penn & Teller, cartoonists Daniel Clowes and Lynda Barry, musicians Dave Alvin, Bill Frisell, Peter Buck (REM), David Hidalgo and Louie Perez (Los Lobos), artist Ed Ruscha, actors Lili Taylor and Martin Mull, and legions of other fans. Greenberger's work interviewing seniors continues to this day. Beyond the Duplex Planet explores notions of aging and its intersection with art and community. It's also a revealing look at the life of an artist devoted to documenting the elderly who is himself moving into his senior years. The film will have its world premiere at SxSW this month with a number of screenings. And it’s being distributed by Filmwax friend Jim Browne’s Argot Pictures. Beth Harrington is an Emmy-award winning independent producer, director and writer, whose fervor for American history, music and culture has led to a series of critically acclaimed films. Her independent production Welcome to the Club – The Women of Rockabilly, a music documentary about the pioneering women of rock ‘n' roll, was honored with a 2003 Grammy nomination and has been seen on public television and at film festivals in the U.S. and abroad. Beth's most recent work, The Winding Stream – The Carters, The Cashes and The Course of Country Music appeared at over 30 festivals worldwide including a SXSW premiere and has won many top festival awards. Earlier work with WGBH-Boston for the NOVA science series was honored with two national Emmy nominations while her local work with Oregon Public Broadcasting has resulted in six other regional Emmy nominations for historical and public affairs program producing and writing. A rock ‘n' roll singer and guitarist, she is most noted for her years as a member of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers on Sire Records. https://youtu.be/nzgbOeFOFYk

In 1775, George Washington appointed Colonel Richard Gridley as his first chief engineer and gave him two assistants. Congress formally created the United States Army Corps of Engineers on this date in 1779. The Corps included several French officers and played an instrumental role in Revolutionary War battles, including Battle of Bunker Hill, Battles of Saratoga, and the final victory at Siege of Yorktown.

Audiobook. 1776 by David McCullough. Part 1. To listen to the entire 10 hour audiobook visit the YouTube channel- https://youtu.be/s1snOJwE_ks?si=9QiOil2n-kyUzQWi America's beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation's birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America's survival in the hands of George Washington. In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color; farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King's men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known. Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough's 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.

On March 17, 1776, the British evacuated Boston, driven out by cannon hauled 300 miles through winter wilderness from a crumbling fort in upstate New York.

In this episode of the Revolution 250 Podcast, host Robert J. Allison welcomes Richard Howell of the Nathanael Greene Homestead for a conversation about the life and legacy of one of the most remarkable commanders of the American Revolution, Nathanael Greene.Born into a Rhode Island Quaker family and raised as an ironmaster, Greene's path to military leadership was anything but ordinary. Yet he would rise to become one of George Washington's most trusted generals, playing a decisive role in the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. Howell and Allison explore Greene's unlikely rise from self-educated militia officer to strategic mastermind, whose campaigns in the Carolinas reshaped the course of the war.The conversation also examines Greene's enduring legacy, from the preservation of his Rhode Island home to the broader challenge of remembering Revolutionary figures whose leadership unfolded far from the famous battlefields of Lexington and Concord. What made Greene such an effective commander, and why does his story still matter today?Join us for a lively exploration of strategy, character, and the complicated legacy of one of the Revolution's most brilliant generals.Tell us what you think!

En 1789, les États-Unis sont un pays neuf, fragile, presque expérimental. La Constitution vient à peine d'entrer en vigueur, et une question obsède les esprits : qui va incarner ce pouvoir inédit sans le détruire ? Le souvenir de la monarchie britannique est encore brûlant, et personne ne veut remplacer un roi par un autre, fût-il élu.Le poste de président inquiète. Trop de pouvoir, et la République peut basculer. Trop peu, et l'État s'effondre. Les treize États se méfient les uns des autres, les rivalités régionales sont fortes, et l'autorité fédérale reste contestée. Il faut donc un homme capable de rassurer… sans dominer.Dans ce climat de méfiance, un nom s'impose peu à peu, presque malgré lui. Pendant la guerre d'Indépendance, cet homme a dirigé l'armée américaine face à l'une des plus grandes puissances du monde. Il a connu les défaites, les hivers terribles, les désertions, le manque d'argent. Il n'a pas été un stratège flamboyant, mais un chef endurant, capable de tenir quand tout semblait perdu. Et surtout, il a gagné.Mais le moment décisif survient après la guerre. Alors que l'histoire est remplie de chefs militaires qui profitent de leur victoire pour s'emparer du pouvoir, lui fait exactement l'inverse. Il démissionne de son commandement, rend son autorité au Congrès et retourne à la vie civile. Ce geste marque profondément les esprits. Pour beaucoup, il prouve une chose essentielle : cet homme sait renoncer au pouvoir.Autre élément clé : son image dépasse les clivages. Il n'est pas identifié à un parti — ils n'existent pas encore vraiment — ni à une faction idéologique trop marquée. Originaire de Virginie, il rassure le Sud, mais son prestige est national. Dans un pays qui cherche désespérément un point d'équilibre, cette neutralité est précieuse.Il a aussi participé à la naissance du nouveau régime. En 1787, il préside la Convention constitutionnelle. Sa présence donne du poids au texte, rassure les sceptiques et crédibilise l'idée même d'un exécutif fort mais limité. Sans parler, il légitime.Quand vient l'élection présidentielle, le choix semble presque évident. Le collège électoral vote à l'unanimité. Non par enthousiasme aveugle, mais par prudence collective.Ainsi, George Washington est choisi non parce qu'il promettait beaucoup, mais parce qu'il faisait peur à personne. Les Américains ne cherchaient pas un homme providentiel. Ils cherchaient un garde-fou. Et pour un pays qui inventait la République en marchant, c'était sans doute le choix le plus rationnel de tous.

Award-winning, bestselling author Laura Frantz is passionate about all things historical, particularly the 18th-century, and writes her manuscripts in longhand first. Her stories often incorporate Scottish themes that reflect her family heritage. She is a direct descendant of George Hume, Wedderburn Castle, Berwickshire, Scotland, who was exiled to the American colonies for his role in the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715, settled in Virginia, and is credited with teaching George Washington surveying. Proud of her heritage, she is also a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Special Guest Co-Host Heather Tabers Today we have someone special joining us. Since Darcy was unable to join for this recording, our friend Heather Tabers stepped in to cohost with KyLee. Heather writes Historical Romance and Children's Fiction, and she also hosts The Hope-Filled Romantic—a podcast where faith and fiction meet real-life love stories. And now for the interview with Laura Frantz, discussing her latest novel, The Belle of Chatham. (pronounced “chat-um”) Is there a word or goal that's inspiring you in this chapter of life? Laura: You hit it on the head when you opened and said, “How do we pursue God through our writing?” I’m eighteen novels in now, and my pursuit for the Lord is stronger than it was even with my debut novel back in 2009. I just want to honor him with a gift. He gave the writing gift–it wasn’t one I asked for or really wanted, but it was a sign to me. We’re here to bless and minister to others, and I think the written word does that. So my desire is just to press on. Life is often a spiritual fight, and I just want to finish well.   We don’t know how much time we have. I’m old enough to remember the nation's bicentennial, which was 1976 and now we’re at 2026. So this is a huge milestone, historically for us as a nation, and personally. Whatever time I have left, hopefully it’s many more years and many more books, I want to pursue God with everything that is in me and try to honor him with every story I write. Read more: Episode 122: The American Revolution and Family Bonds with Laura Frantz KyLee: Wow, I admire that. Just to press on, to move forward–whatever’s in front of you, whatever comes your way–just to keep moving towards God. And you’re speaking specifically towards the books you're writing, but really that’s applicable to every area of our life, as parents, and spouses, and at work, and everywhere we go. And when I think about pressing on with God, I picture that light in front of us, guiding us. What is one book that you read last year that really stuck with you and why? Laura: You know, I read a lot of historical fiction, mostly for research, but one thing I’ve gotten invested in is a 24-book series in the general market – Anne Perry’s William Monk Victorian Mysteries. And there’s a reason I invested in that. My book that releases next January is set in London. I wanted to see how another author, even in a different time period, handled that same setting along the River Thames, and with the police force at that time. So I thought, “Oh, I’ll just read one book.” But there’s a reason Anne Perry is so wildly popular and prolific. She has some of the smartest writing I’ve ever read. So the William Monk series is clean, although a little bit bloody or gruesome at times, but so eye-opening into Victorian England. Do you have a favorite historical figure who inspires you? Laura: George Washington and also Daniel Boone. Men who were both totally intrepid and stalwart. George Washington didn’t know that he’d be on our currency now, or we’d name our capital after him. He had no idea he was the great “George Washington.” And Daniel Boone plays a big part in my heritage. I'm from Kentucky, and recently, I read a document that listed my ancestor as coming into Kentucky with Boone in the latter 18th century. And also George Humes, my ancestor, is credited with teaching surveying to the very young Washington from 1748 to 1750 in Virginia. So to see how the Lord has allowed me to write so close to my ancestry is such a beautiful thing to me. I don’t understand it, but just seeing my people come alive in history, and with such an amazing godly historical figure like Boone, is truly amazing. This crazy woman in the 21st century is writing about these amazing historical figures, and there’s actually a link. Only God could have done that. Heather: My family is the McFeeders family, and we came from the Hume Clan, so I have to believe that we’re cousins somehow. Laura: Long-lost cousins! I love it! KyLee: You never know what you’ll find when you start digging into your genealogy. I have chills just hearing you found out that one of your ancestors came over with Daniel Boone. Digging back and finding out where your people come from is very exciting. And is there anything especially interesting that you haven’t covered in other interviews that you could share with us? Laura: Years ago I decided that in 2026 my hope was to write a book honoring our country and our founders. Because I’m very proud to be American. The Lord said He sets us in the times, the seasons, and the places where we’re supposed to be. And to be an American is certainly a privilege, and He’s blessed this country so much in the past, since our founding. So, like I said earlier, I want to press on in the spirit of 1776 and continue carrying that forward and honoring Him. Our nation is great because it was based on godly principles. That’s why I’m proud to be an American, and hopefully that shines through The Belle of Chatham‘s pages. In 1777, caught in the crossroads of the American Revolution, sisters Maebel and Coralie Bohannon's quaint New Jersey village becomes a battleground as they house American officers in their home. Rebellion ripples through their family as members take opposing sides–Patriots and Loyalists–causing a deep chasm that fractures their once-unbreakable bond. As Mae's friendship grows with the American general Rhys Harlow, Coralie continues her liaison with her childhood sweetheart, a British officer stationed in New York. Torn between her growing love for the general and suspicion that her sister is a British spy, Mae leaves the only home she's ever known for the New York frontier. When betrayal strikes in the heart of the wilderness, she's forced to take a perilous journey that tests her very survival and those she loves, all in the name of liberty. Can you tell us a little more about Maebel and Coralie (and their love interests)? Laura: I don't have a sister; I have a younger brother. So it's fun to create these fictional sisters. In The Indigo Heiress, the bond between my heroine and her sister was extremely tight. That's not the case in The Belle of Chatham. You have two very different women, almost the same age, who are nothing alike—different in looks, personality, loyalties. And their love interests are very different. Mae is in love with a rifleman, who's from a very different world than herself, and her sister Coralie is infatuated with a British soldier. Which is indicative of where their loyalties lie, Mae with the Patriots, Coralie with the British. I tried to make it as true to history as possible. Not everyone is close to their sisters, so I wanted to bring that out. How wartime issues can fracture and fray that already-strained relationship. KyLee: That’s so like real life. As we traverse those long-term relationships, it's not always easy. I think sibling relationships are special because you start out so young and go through so many seasons together. I hope that, in the end, Mae and Coralie can find something in common. I have three sisters, and I'm very close with one. With a couple of my little sisters, we've had moments where our differences created distance. Now, when I look back over the seasons, I see things she does very differently from me, and I value them. I've learned from her and her very different approach to things. Laura: A beautiful, open-hearted concept. And that bears pondering: “How would Jesus love this person that’s different than me, or that I really want to condemn or distance myself from?” Jesus says we’re to love them anyway, leaning heavily on Jesus to do it. I don't know that Mae, in this novel, does that well. She tries. It takes practice, right? And Coralie makes it very interesting. And it’s relatable to today. We might not be in a war, but we definitely have different political opinions in our nation right now, stronger than they have been in a while. It’s not uncommon to see siblings falling on either side of the aisle. One thing that grieves me very much, that is even mirrored in this novel, is how people cease to talk to each other. There’s just no relationship anymore. And that’s heartbreaking. That’s a wound that too easily festers. If we have to be the one that breaks down that wall, in Jesus’ name, to ask for His help and an opportunity to do that, I believe He’ll give it. Just because you're distant from loved ones, that doesn’t mean it’s forever. Ask the Lord to help you mend that relationship, even if you have to make the first move. KyLee: Absolutely. Something I keep seeing, that really hurts my heart, is when people are so upset by things that are disturbing, and there’s a sense of powerlessness. And I've found myself saying to other adults what I've said to my children for years: Look at your circle. You start small, and it gets bigger. Siblings, spouse, children, friends, church, community, work, and it moves out from there. Pray for the big things, that's important, and if you are one of those people who has an opportunity to go to a far-away place and make an impact in that circle, do it. But don't let what's so far away from you distract in the circle where God has placed you. Be present where you're at, and you can make a difference. You can be loving, you can be understanding, you can have respectful conversations, and trust God and encourage other people to trust God. Heather: That’s such a good word, KyLee. So many times, my heart is so burdened by everything I see on the news. And my husband is faithful to remind me, “Heather, you’re not supposed to know every person that died in North Carolina and California.” People have suffered atrocities all around the world forever. But it wasn’t until recently that we’ve had the technology to know every single one of them, sometimes in real time. And he’s like, “You’re just not supposed to know all these things.” So I love that you tell people to focus on their circles. I can’t go help everyone, but I can help the people next to me. KyLee: And every generation has its own burden to bear. God knew that you would be born in this generation with this technology, and He’s equipped you like He’s equipped me. Laura: I recently heard an author say, “We're not meant to be omniscient. That's God's job.” Social media and the internet have us almost omniscient, so to speak, in a human perspective. We have access to everything around the world. And I kept hearing him say, “God doesn't mean for us to be omniscient because it's very burdensome.” I thought that was a really interesting point. What's next for your writing? Laura: Right now is a busy, busy season! I just handed in a 400-page novel set in 1798 London, releasing January of next year. I'm also halfway through a Christmas novella that will be releasing September of 2027, but it's due this fall. And then I'm beginning another novel set in Colonial America 1733, a totally new setting. So that has me quite busy. I will also be traveling to England next January. And then in 2027, I'm leading a tour of some historic sites in the United States. I've done England and Scotland, and had a wonderful time with readers. So I'm excited to do a stateside trip this time, and I hope readers can join me. If you head to my website, LauraFrantz.net, and sign up for my newsletter, about halfway down the home page, you'll get the tour news and details, as well as book updates.

BOOKWORM REVIEW The Mistress of the Macabre has penned another five-star stunner!  “Night Falls on Predicament Avenue” features Jaime Jo Wright's signature blend of atmospheric prose, eerie suspense, and spiritual depth. Black as a mourning veil, this literary cuppa is enriched by the aromatic earthiness of a forgotten graveyard and contrasted with a honeyed note of hope—warm and bright as a candle's flame, flickering amid shadows.  The authentic characters of Effie and Norah will make readers feel seen and heard, especially those who suffer with anxiety, and the absorbing plot will keep readers turning pages into the wee hours, eager to navigate the mystery's winding paths of intrigue. The final plot twist ripped a gasp straight from my chest. A literal, audible, GASP! Good gracious, was I well and properly gobsmacked! Wright has truly outdone herself with this haunting tale's jaw-dropping, mind-reeling, gut-punching conclusion. If you're a fan of true crime podcasts and gothic fiction, be sure to visit Predicament Avenue . . . preferably, before night falls!

Het was een drastisch experiment. Een nieuwe natie beginnen met een tot in de puntjes uitgevoerde trias politica, 250 jaar geleden de meest moderne theorie van de Franse politieke filosofie. De Amerikanen durfden het aan, ze begonnen een republiek met een gekozen volksvertegenwoordiging, een gekozen staatshoofd van beperkte termijn en met onafhankelijke rechtspraak en een Hooggerechtshof. Vader des vaderlands George Washington werd dat staatshoofd, boven de partijen en gespeend van persoonlijke ambitie. Die volksvertegenwoordiging werd meteen gekozen, tussen november 1788 en maart 1789. Het experiment werd zonder omhalen concreet gemaakt en uitgeprobeerd. Lukte dat? Hoe dan? Merk je daar nu nog wat van? Is die volksvertegenwoordiging van toen nog herkenbaar in het huidige Huis van Afgevaardigden? Hoe werkt dat parlement in de dagelijkse praktijk? Jaap Jansen en PG Kroeger duiken daar in met Pirmin Olde Weghuis, die in 2015 als jong medewerker op Capitol Hill rondliep en zo een blik kon werpen in die machinekamer van een wereldmacht, in dat hart van de historie van die 250 jaar oude democratie. *** Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt met donaties van luisteraars die we hiervoor hartelijk danken. Word ook vriend van de show! Heb je belangstelling om in onze podcast te adverteren of ons te sponsoren? Zend ons een mailtje en wij zoeken contact. *** Pirmins cheffin was een levende legende. Grace Napolitano was al in de 80 en vertegenwoordigde haar San Gabriel Valley in California al decennia. Noordwest van Los Angeles was haar district gevuld met suburbs met in meerderheid Latino-kiezers. Elke twee jaar kon zij als Democraat op hen rekenen bij weer een volgende herverkiezing. Als stagiair uit Nederland kon Pirmin overal rondkijken, assisteren bij contacten met dat district en Napolitano’s kiezers en zo de sfeer en dagelijkse werkzaamheden van het Huis meebeleven. En hij ontmoette ook andere legendes, zoals de rechterhand van Martin Luther King, ooit een rebelse studentenleider: John Lewis, de man van “Make trouble, good trouble.” Het Huis – samen met de Senaat het Congres - is een volwaardig deel van de trias en heeft een eigen kiezersmandaat. Al vanaf dag één was het een door en door politieke arena, ook al beriep men zich steeds op 'bipartisanship' en 'nationaal belang'. In het Huis wordt geknokt met machtsmiddelen. Bovendien is het Huis - anders dan in Europa gebruikelijk - de maker van de federale begroting. De speaker bezit hier de macht over de schatkist, niet de president! En de zittingstermijn van twee jaar dwingt de leden van het Huis permanent hun district en de achterban daar alle aandacht te geven. Pirmin Olde Weghuis zag ook dat in de praktijk. In de 250 jaar historie is veel veranderd, niet in het minst de locaties en faciliteiten van het Huis. Maar het opvallendst is toch hoe wéinig er veranderd is. Veel van de zeden, begrippen en machtsfactoren zijn nog altijd achttiende-eeuws en grijpen terug naar het bewind van legendarische voorzitters en Huis-leden die een groot stempel drukten op de geschiedenis van de democratie. De eerste speaker, Frederick Muhlenberg, zette al direct de toon bij het door en door machtspolitieke invullen van deze functie. Hij was politiek leider van de meerderheid van de nieuwgekozen leden én de voorzitter die de orde en agenda van het Huis bewaakte. Dat is sindsdien nooit meer veranderd. De meest legendarische parlementariër was niet een van de speakers, maar een voormalig president. Alleen John Quincy Adams werd na zijn termijn als president (1824-1828) lid van het Huis en excelleerde in wetgeving en strijd tegen de slavernij en voor de burgerrechten. 'Old man eloquent' stierf in zijn bankje tijdens een vergadering in 1848. Andere speakers waren minstens zo effectief en machtig. Henry Clay was bijvoorbeeld ook nog Senator, Minister van Buitenlandse Zaken en de grote inspirator van Abraham Lincoln. En een groot gokker, overigens. Nicholas Longworth was fameus om de elegante, moeiteloze manier waarmee hij de macht van de speaker over het Huis onaantastbaar wist te maken. "Een Tsaar, maar je had dat niet door." Fameuzer was nog dat hij trouwde met ‘de prinses van Washington DC', presidentsdochter Alice Roosevelt. Zij werd bijna honderd, ontmoette meer presidenten dan wie ook, was berucht om haar scherpe tong, machtige netwerk en als de ontdekker van Richard Nixon. Niemand was vaker en langer speaker dan 'Mister Sam'. Sam Rayburn was van 1913 tot 1961 lid van het Huis, invloedrijk wetgever voor de modernste infrastructuur en 17 jaar lang de speaker. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had ontzag voor hem, wist ook hoe loyaal hij was, wist van zijn onkreukbare integriteit en hoe hij de grootste staatsgeheimen - zoals de bouw van de atoombom - kon wegmoffelen in de begroting. Rayburn was een van de zeer weinigen die precies wist wat hier geprobeerd werd te ontdekken en te realiseren. Zijn protegé - net als hij uit Texas - was Lyndon Johnson, wiens carrière hij tot zijn dood met alle middelen bevorderde. Ale speakers na 'Mister Sam' zijn diens discipelen gebleken. Tip O'Neill in zijn openlijke machtsstrijd met zowel partijgenoot Jimmy Carter als met opponent Ronald Reagan. Nancy Pelosi als eerste vrouw die bijna zo lang als Rayburn diende en wier greep op het Huis en de president bijna zo legendarisch werd. De MAGA-speakers van nu kunnen niet in hun schaduw staan. Dat eigen mandaat binnen de trias politica hebben zij bijna geheel verspeeld. Ook daarom zullen de 'midterms' van november zo cruciaal blijken. *** Verder luisteren 250 jaar Verenigde Staten 281 - Fourth of July: Amerika reisgids voor politieke junkies https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d1f6fb79-49b3-456e-a7b3-b09ddf2a5ae8 382 - 250 jaar Verenigde Staten: de Boston Tea Party https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/c44ec04f-9408-41be-b5e3-3fab8905ab66 519 - Thomas Jefferson, de revolutionaire schrijver van de Onafhankelijkheidsverklaring https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/62bc338c-78f6-4cba-a7ab-1718ce679e81 459 – Rolmodel George Washington https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/92f012be-cd93-4928-b3b3-5bef409c6bca 397 - Benjamin Franklin, Zijner Majesteits meest loyale rebel https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/18e40074-a4f4-4752-8dc9-6fbdaf8c91f0 513 – Tanks rollen door Washington DC, 250 jaar US Army https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/d60c7997-538c-4064-a0fc-b21dd2e2478d 494 - Trumps aanval op de geschiedenis en de geest van Amerika https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/ec4b170a-05a9-4af3-9010-c0986376dd3a 142 - De smerigste verkiezingscampagnes in de Amerikaanse geschiedenis https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/2975aea6-29e6-4756-acfa-b331cbcf4f0c Grote parlementariërs 473 - 2025. 200 jaar John Quincy Adams president https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/1aeb5474-57fe-49a8-a98a-d014372079c3 475 – Trumps rolmodel Andrew Jackson https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/06d493a9-b8fd-4fb9-a125-6399192697c0 481 - Donald Trumps nieuwe idool William McKinley, ‘de tarievenkoning’ https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/018eaa63-b81a-4b17-9342-e98ee53bf516 221 - Madam Speaker: de spijkerharde charme van Nancy Pelosi https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/e8781d8f-a367-4df5-9459-ab071fb9e4ac 472 - Winterboekeneditie - Nancy Pelosi 'The Art of Power' https://art19.com/shows/betrouwbare-bronnen/episodes/8c25a5e4-9cee-4656-b226-8cbbb6f2c6a5 319 - Lyndon B.

A war is a series of battles won.  The American Revolution is no different.  For the colonies and George Washington to beat the larger British military force, individual battles had to be fought.  One victory won by the Patriots early on, did not involve a direct battle.  The Fortification of Dorchester Heights, and the subsequent British Evacuation of Boston, exemplifies the early genius of General Washington and the fortitude of hero Henry Knox.  Join our special guest, Professor Robert Allison, Professor of History at Suffolk University and Chair of Revolution 250, as we learn about these incredible events.

America's Founding Fathers feared a standing army would inevitably threaten civilian governance. Yet 250 years later, the U.S. military remains a strange outlier among nearly every nation that has ever existed—maintaining its strength and popularity while never attempting a coup. How did America get this right when so many other nations, from Turkey to Latin America, have seen their militaries seize power? The story begins with George Washington, who inspired mutinous soldiers to become the first army in a thousand years not to threaten democracy. But Washington's example alone doesn't explain America's success. Structural factors—dispersed urban centers, a benign international security environment, and urgent domestic threats from Native American conflicts—created a weak federal army and strong militia system that prevented military consolidation of power. Today's guest is Kori Schake, author of The State and the Soldier: A History of Civil-Military Relations in the United States. We see many counter-intuitivie things, like how the Founding Fathers had it backwards. The creation of a professional military actually reduced challenges to civilian control. We know this because key crises tested this system that the US military was able to overcome without seizing power. They include Alexander Hamilton's ambitions to raise an army for foreign conquest, Aaron Burr's plot to overthrow the United States, Andrew Jackson's unauthorized invasion of Florida, Ulysses S. Grant navigating feuds between president and Congress, Lincoln's suspension of habeas corpus, Truman's firing of MacArthur during the Korean War, and confusion over nuclear launch authority during the Cold War. As the public increasingly pulls the military into partisan divisions, the question remains: can America's exceptional civil-military relations endure?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A discussion with Army Historian John Maass about General George Washington's military career.

I canot tell a lie...

It's December 26th, 1776. Gen. George Washington has just successfully gotten 2,400 men from the Continental Army across the Delaware River from Pennsylvania into New Jersey. The first year of the American Revolution has been a difficult one. The young United States has had few victories battling the highly skilled British army and their paid German mercenaries, the Hessians. Washington has retreated from New York after sustaining significant losses during the Battle of Long Island. Morale is low. Supplies even lower. Men are deserting. And it seems like the American Experiment is doomed before it's really gotten started.It is bitterly cold. In fact, the other detachments of 3,000 American troops never make it across the freezing river. Washington's troops that did make it across the dangerous river crossing arrived several hours later than planned. The element of surprise might be lost.But none of that matters at this moment. At this moment, Washington is in Trenton leading his troops on a surprise attack. Then, the first shots ring out as the Americans caught the Hessians off guard.The Battle of Trenton was not a grand, orderly clash of polished armies. It was desperate, freezing, chaotic and brutally human.While the battle itself lasted less than an hour, the victory at Trenton revived the Revolution. It proved the Continental Army could beat professional soldiers. It convinced many whose enlistments were about to expire to stay.More than a battle, it was a turning point — a moment when a failing rebellion felt, for the first time in months, like it might survive. Now, while there's plenty of state parks in Pennsylvania that highlight important history, people, communities, industries, resources, flora, fauna, animals and more. There aren't many that highlight one specific event.Washington Crossing Historic Park does just that. This episode will go into detail about this all-important surprise attack, but we'll also delve into much more than just that one moment in time. As much as this park is meant to celebrate the brave actions of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, it also serves as a wonderful river-side escape for those looking to spend time outside. On this episode, I speak with Kimberly McCarty.

Jesień 1777. Wzgórza nad rzeką Hudson w stanie Nowy York.7 tysięcy najlepszych brytyjskich żołnierzy maszeruje na Albany. Jeśli tam dotrą, Ameryka wraca pod koronę. Na ich drodze pozornie nic nie stoi.W tym odcinku zobaczysz, co się dzieje, gdy kompetencja spotyka ignorancję. Gdy jedna zignorowana rada prowadzi do katastrofy, a jedna wysłuchana zmienia losy wojny. I zadasz sobie pytanie: Czy potrafisz budować w ciszy, gdy nikt nie patrzy?To historia o porażce zamienionej w zwycięstwo.

Is Trump using America's 250th anniversary to rebrand the USA in his own gaudy, aggressive, white nationalist image? There'll be a “Patriot Games” high school athletics tournament, quickly dubbed America's Hunger Games. Commemorative quarter coins have been scrubbed of any “woke” content. There'll be mixed martial arts on the White House lawn. And Trump's organisers of the celebrations are charging for access to the President. What would George Washington think? South Carolina political commentator, historical preservationist and navy veteran Mike Bedenbaugh is the author of a new book, Reviving Our Republic. He tells Andrew Harrison why the “Semiquincentennial” is a last-ditch chance for America to rediscover its purpose.  • This edition was recorded before America's attack on Iran.  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and presented by Andrew Harrison.

The King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, is widely regarded as one of the most haunted historic restaurants in America.

The State of the Union Address is one of the most anticipated political events of the year. Of course, it's surrounded by tradition and ceremony. All three branches of the federal government gather in the House Chamber, the galleries pack with guests from every walk of life, the pundits gather their audiences, and the cameras all focus on one carefully crafted message from the leader of the free world.  But it's not just custom or tradition that gives rise to this historic event every year. It actually goes all the way back to the American founding, to the Constitution itself. Article II, Section 3, Clause 1 of the constitution reads as follows:  The President “shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.” George Washington, then, was the first to give an address to congress. His eventual successor, Thomas Jefferson, submitted his remarks in writing, which set a precendent of written States of the Union. Over a century later, in 1913, Woodrow Wilson restored the practice of giving the speech in person. And that custom has stood to this day.  Last night, we heard President Donald Trump give the first State of the Union address of his second term. The speech covered many of his accomplishments over the first year of this administration. Here to walk us through it is Dan West, Government Relations Director at Heritage Action for America.  --- Thoughts? Questions?

This week on "50 Weeks That Shaped America," we're headed to the winter of 1777-1778 and the strategic retreat by the Continental Army to Valley Forge, PA. Over the course of that winter, George Washington worked to turn the army from a group of ragtag militias into a unified force -- all with the help of a mysterious Prussian general. Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how Valley Forge was effectively a pop-up city, and how it reflected what would come in an independent United States.Join our America250 newsletter community!

Popok reports on Judge Rufe second order in 48 hours compelling the Trump Administration to restore the site they defaced WITH A CROWBAR, as Trump runs to the Third Circuit hoping that he will get one of his former criminal defense lawyers as a judge on the case!

Is the Trump administration about to admit the existence of aliens? Glenn reacts to President Trump discussing the potential declassification of classified documents on extraterrestrial life for public viewing. Glenn takes calls from his audience to discuss topics such as the Epstein files and the possibility of alien life. During a recent interview, former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice warned companies that once the Democrats retake power, they will go after those who worked with Trump. Glenn tells the uplifting story of American figure skater Alysa Lui, whose father escaped communist China, as Alysa just won the gold medal for figure skating in the Winter Olympics. In a shocking decision, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Trump does not have the tariff authority he claimed, effectively ending most of his tariffs. Neuroscientist Axel Bouchon joins to discuss what happens in our brain chemistry when we're allowed to find connection over animosity.

The IRS has lost tens of thousands of employees since President Donald Trump took office – the result of DOGE, policy differences, last year's government shutdown, and layoffs. Now that we're in tax season, the agency is asking thousands of untrained employees from other departments to help with taxpayer services. Those job cuts and changes could, at best, slow down your refund. At worst, the IRS could be far less able to stop scammers. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is insisting that taxpayers will be getting bigger refunds this year. The problem is, prices on basically everything are still super high – which gives people less of a chance to hold onto that money. And will anyone even remember their tax refunds when they head out to vote in November? For more, we spoke with Vanessa Williamson, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, and author of “The Price of Democracy: The Revolutionary Power of Taxation in American History.”And in headlines, Arizona Republicans want to send ICE officers to polling places, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg takes the stand in a case weighing if social media platforms deliberately addict and harm children, and the Trump administration pushes back against a court order to restore an exhibit on people enslaved by George Washington in Philadelphia.Show Notes: Check out Vanessa's book – brookings.edu/books/the-price-of-democracy/ Call Congress – 202-224-3121 Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8 What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcast Follow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/ For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
