June 17, 2025, marks the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, the first full-scale battle of what would become the American War for Independence. Although technically a British victory, Bunker Hill proved that colonial soldiers could hold their own against the might of the British Empire. New England militiamen inflicted 1,054 casualties on the British, 50 percent of the British force. The New Englanders sustained 411 casualties that day, including the man who stood at the heart of this battle: Dr. Joseph Warren. Who was Dr. Joseph Warren, and why did he risk his life in the first major battle of the Revolutionary War? What drove this physician, political thinker, and revolutionary leader to become the face of the American Revolution in Boston? Christian Di Spigna, Executive Director of the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation, joins us to explore these questions and commemorate this important anniversary with details from his book, Founding Martyr: The Life and Death of Dr. Joseph Warren, the American Revolution's Lost Hero.

If Joseph Warren had lived, Peter Oliver said, no one would have heard of Washington. This might be an exaggeration, but few patriot leaders were as important to the cause as Joseph Warren—Roxbury physician, chair of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress, chair of the Committee of Safety, Grand Master of the Masonic Lodge—he did not seek office, but his compatriots recognized his talents and put him to work. His death at the Battle of Bunker Hill, at the age of 34, deprived the cause of one of its greatest leaders. And today he is almost forgotten. Janet Uhlar tells his story in her biography, Liberty's Martyr, and she shares more on Warren and his brief but extraordinary life with us. Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

Join author Kostya Kennedy for this lecture exploring the dramatic events of April 18 and 19, 1775—the night of Paul Revere's famous ride. With new insights from archives, family documents, and contemporary accounts, discover how the legendary ride is far more complex than it is usually portrayed.* This special 250th lecture was recorded as part of Fraunces Tavern Museum's Evening Lecture series on Monday, May 5, 2025. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.
On April 18, 1775, a Boston-based silversmith, engraver, and staunch anti-British political operative named Paul Revere set out on the most famous horse ride in American history. A century later it inspired the poem and legend of "The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere." But the story is deeper and richer than we've all assumed. Acclaimed writer and editor Kostya Kennedy, through extraordinary and extensive research, has uncovered new and enlightening information on that amazing - including the women who were involved and African Americans in Boston - event presented now in his new book, THE RIDE: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America (St. Martin's Press, On Sale Date 3/25/25, $30.00). Revere was not the only rider on the night of April 18, 1775, but he was by far the most critical. The Patriots best and most trusted "express rider" he had already completed at least 18 previous rides throughout New England, disseminating intelligence about British movements. But this ride was like no other, and its consequences in the months and years following - as the American Revolution transitioned from isolated skirmishes to a full-fledged war - became one of our founding tales. In THE RIDE, Kostya Kennedy presents a dramatic new narrative of the events of Revere's ride, informed by fresh primary and secondary research into archives, family letters and diaries, contemporary accounts, and more. What he found are never before, or rarely, discussed events, before and after the ride, including: *On the night of the ride, Paul Revere was already the go-to rider for the revolution, called upon to make the most critical rides: in December 1773 he rode hundreds of miles south to New York and Philadelphia to deliver news of The Boston Tea Party.*Revere never said, "The British are coming!" during the ride.*On the night of the ride, Revere rode on a borrowed horse that was then taken from him by British officers; Revere never saw the horse again.*The "sea," in "one if by land, two if by sea," refers to the Charles River.*Revere intentionally did not carry his pistol on the night of the ride, which may have saved his life.*At the start of the ride, Revere was rowed quietly over the Charles River from Boston to Charlestown, along the way eluding lookouts stationed on a British warship.*Other riders galloped through the countryside that night carrying the alarm and nearly all of them were set in motion by Revere's alarm.*Only one other rider departed from Boston, William Dawes, who left over land across Boston Neck; as Dawes got past British guards he pretended he was a drunk country bumpkin. Kennedy's work shows the Revere ride to be vastly more complex than is usually portrayed. It was a coordinated ride of some 40 men that included near-disasters, capture by British forces, and ultimately success. While Paul Revere was central to the ride and its plotting, the author reveals the myriad other men - and women! - who proved crucial to the events that helped set in motion what would lead to America's independence. Thrillingly written in a dramatic heart-stopping narrative, THE RIDE re-tells the essential American story of our nation's awakening for a new generation of readers.

Preparing for AEP: Embracing Technology and Proactive Strategies in the Insurance IndustryHost Kathe Kline and guest Dalton Miller dove headfirst into the changing landscape of Annual Election Period (AEP) preparation and why insurance agents must stay ahead of industry trends—especially in today's rapidly evolving environment. Here's a breakdown of the key takeaways and how you can apply them to your business.The Countdown to AEP Is On: Get Ahead EarlyDalton opened the conversation with a reality check—there are fewer business days than you think before AEP kicks off. The urgency is real. Agents waiting until the last minute risk being overwhelmed, particularly as changes around prescription drug plans (PDPs) from regulatory shifts like the Inflation Reduction Act are generating more client questions, confusion, and inbound phone calls.Turning Industry Challenges Into OpportunitiesRather than seeing incoming calls as disruptions, savvy agents seize them as opportunities. Dalton pointed out that proactive outreach—whether in-person appointments or virtual consults—can turn client confusion about drug costs into relationship-building moments. Agents who capitalize on these touchpoints not only help clients, but also strengthen retention and potentially restart commission cycles with plan changes.Tech Tools: Your Secret Weapon for EfficiencyFrom automated scheduling links to drug list collection surveys like RetireFlo, technology is non-negotiable. Kathe stressed the time-savings and organizational benefits of tools like calendar links and integrated form submissions for medication lists. If you're not using technology, you're likely doing double work and risking costly errors. Importantly, Kathe and Dalton both emphasized the need for HIPAA-compliant CRMs. Not only does this protect client data, but it future-proofs your continuity if you switch FMOs.Be Proactive, Communicate, and Set BoundariesA recurring theme was proactive communication. Don't be shy—send out birthday cards, newsletters, or helpful updates. Let your book of business know you are their first call. Importantly, set boundaries: make it clear when you'll review Med Supps and PDPs, and educate clients on why you don't do everything during AEP. This manages workload and builds compliant, loyal relationships.Final Word: Start Now and Beat the RushDalton, channeling Paul Revere, reminded listeners: “AEP is coming!” The key is to establish streamlined, compliant systems now—before the wave hits. Tools that save time, reduce manual work, and improve client experience aren't just luxuries—they're business necessities. In the words of Kathe, “Why are you doing double work? Let technology set you free.”Ready to thrive this AEP? Invest in tech, standardize your client communication, and start prepping now—you'll thank yourself come October.This episode is sponsored by CertifiedMedicareAgents.com.

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to entertainer Bobby Brooks, whose story about his celebrity parent is like none other. Of all the episodes we have done over the past four years, Bobby's is totally unique and left us incredulous. You see, Bobby had no idea his father was the late, great singer Jackie Wilson until he was well on his way to his own recording career. And it was because of his voice, his on stage moves and his mannerisms that friends of his father's made the connection because Bobby, essentially, WAS Jackie on stage but had no clue himself. Bobby tells us about his roots in South Carolina, the physical and financial difficulties he experienced as a child as well as his love of music from a very young age. We discuss his time in the Navy which led him to Hawaii where he performed with a very young, pre celebrity Bruno Mars in the family band, later being discovered by Paul Revere (of Paul Revere & the Raiders fame) and his connections to The Four Tops, The Temptations, Billy Davis and other music greats. So who and how and where did Bobby find out he was the son of Mr. Soul, Mr. Excitement Jackie Wilson? Welp, it's too good to share here. So take a listen to this upcoming episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast where all will be revealed. You won't believe it. Everyone has a story. Bobby's is remarkable.

In 1971, Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the last Monday in May, echoing the words and sentiments of the proclamation of General John A. Logan of the grand Army of the Republic in 1868 who stated:“Memorial Day is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion (the Civil War) and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet, church yard in the land.”So it is that the primary purpose of Memorial Day is to strew with flowers literally and figuratively the graves and memories of America's daring defenders. They the fallen died for freedom, liberty, for America, for us, for YOU AND ME. We were asked to remember those who died in the great American Civil War, but the day to remember now incorporates all who have given lives in defense of our country. Far too many wars, my fellow Americans, and far too many fallen defenders by the millions who believed in America, and in its fundamental principles of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all mankind. How grateful we should be.We are descendants or contemporaries of patriots, men and women who cherish freedom and were willing to fight and die to defend it if necessary. These warriors lived by the words of Patrick Henry who said:GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.Our nation was formed in the fight for freedom for there was no life worthwhile without it. There came our great Constitution and our incredible BILL OF RIGHTS, the rights and freedom amendments which are the finest in the history of mankind. But no matter the origin, it seems as though in so many ways the passion for freedom may have been lost today as they once had it. We seem to take for granted what they died for. And the courage they the fallen had seems lost today in so many ways and the change in our country, produces in so many ways an America in decline, at least politically, philosophically and certainly passionately. Our ancestors fought for the Constitution, for the Bill of Rights and the freedoms those now 27 Amendments allow us. They were ready to die for them, but we the current people allow them to be watered down, interpreted away and often ignored without the fight or conviction to protect and defend them. Perhaps the freedoms of Patrick Henry are giving way to a slow but sure death. Perhaps we have failed to meet the challenge of Ben Franklin who told us that the Republic they created for us was a marvelous way of government IF we could keep it. I wonder if we can.So, in the midst of barbeques and baseball, it is so healthy to look back andremember. Remember a George Washington, a general, a leader, a President, awarrior, a patriot. Or a Paul Revere who rode the land warning that the enemy wascoming, sounding the alarm. It seems as though we need more Paul Reveres, warningus that enemies to our Constitution and way of life are coming, and in fact are HERE.We the people should be ever mindful of the threats and sound the alarm as he did,like those who energized our country once before, THE BOSTON TEA PARTYPATRIOTS and the revolution their courageous acts energized and inspired. They tooka stand against taxes and so must we. Ours continue to rise, and rise to the point ofconfiscation and nothing but nothing destroys freedom like taxes. President JohnAdams reminded us that the two killers of liberty are slavery and debt. The debt ofconfiscatory taxation strangles freedom and that is happening at an incredibly rapidpace today. Shame on us.It is hard for us to think back and remember the early days in America when slavery,slavery was a way of life in America to our great shame and embarrassment. We themoderns find that inconceivable, and the practice of slavery of any kind abhorrent, dowe not? Right-thinking men and women fought and fell to rid America of the scourgeof slavery, God bless them.And to rid the world of despots like Hitler, evil to the core, Mussolini and those who inwar would destroy the freedom and liberty of all. God bless them.There can hardly be a family anywhere in America which has not laid a son ordaughter on the altar of freedom. So many fought and fell, lives given willingly for usin war after war. And there were those who supported those who fought. We honorthem. Many of our warriors and defenders came home hurt and damaged in body ormind perhaps for a lifetime. On Memorial Day, we honor these veterans of wars, theseHEROES, these wounded warriors who gave us our freedom:WE OWE THEM!A debt we can never repay. To honor them is the least we can do, to thank them as weremember and as we encounter those in our military who follow after them. Weshould help and support them. They lived and died for what they believed. WheneverI encounter a member of our military, I thank them for what they did and what they dofor our great country, for me, and for you, and for my friends and loved ones and allAmericans whether I know them or not. But I really do know them for I know what isin their hearts and minds and I know they love America as much as I do. I will salutethem as a sign of respect. I wish them to know that I will always be grateful foreverything they do for me and the America I love. Perhaps YOU should do the same,not on one Memorial Day, but all days. They the heroes and defenders are the verybest of us.God bless them.Memorial Day is always celebrated at Arlington National Cemetery, a very specialplace, a burial site for some of America's bravest. At 3 PM on that Monday, a veryspecial ceremony occurs and each grave is decorated with a small American flag. Thehighlight of the celebration is a speech in honor of these brave men and women fromthe President or Vice President of the United States honoring their contributions toAmerica and laying a wreath at the tomb of The Unknown Soldier. That tombrepresents tens of thousands of other unknown soldiers who gave their lives in serviceto our country, but in death never got the recognition and respect they so justlydeserved. Do remember them, my fellow Americans, do remember them as well onMemorial Day as there may be no one else, no loved one, no friend or family to do so.And as you do remember these American heroes, thank our God, the God who blessesAmerica for all those who gave so much for us. They allowed us to be parents, to haveand enjoy family, they allowed us to be workers and fully participate in the greatopportunities America offers. THEY allowed us to be all that we can be because oursoldiers, they were determined to be all they could be. Have a special place in yourheart all week for any loved one, family or friend of yours who should beMEMORIALIZED AND REMEMBERED this day and always.And, as we pay tribute and remember, let us become better citizens of this greatcountry, ready more than ever to preserve, protect and defend all it stands for, all ofour blessed and precious freedoms which exist like there are nowhere else in theworld. Let us stand for what is right with actions, protests, town meetings, marches,debate, fact and truth at work, counteracting government spin and disinformation.Let us stand tall for the right, for truth, for all things moral and valuable. Let usresolve, we the people, we who own and control this country to do our job as citizensfar better. And remember to cherish and exercise the greatest privilege which everyAmerican has.

"I've tried to take on that mindset for the last few years at these races, of, 'How do I show up as authentically as possible, as the Ali I know I am and want to be, while having fun, while being professional… What does that look like?'

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride is one of the most famous events in American history. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere set out to warn the Massachusetts countryside that British regulars were marching to seize rebel supplies in Concord. Revere's name has become legendary, immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. But how much do we really know about Paul Revere beyond that single night? In this revisited episode, we'll explore the history and memory of Paul Revere. Why has he endured as a national icon, while other revolutionary couriers and figures have faded from public consciousness? How does the story of Revere's ride illustrate the power of historical memory? And what does Revere's real life—beyond that one night—tell us about the American Revolution and the ways we remember it? Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/130 REQUEST A TOPIC

In this thoughtful and refreshingly personal episode of Spellbreakers, Matt Trump takes listeners on a journey through Revolutionary history, industrial innovation, and the spiritual DNA of America. Using the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord as a launchpad, Matt asks a compelling question: was Paul Revere the Elon Musk of the American Revolution? Exploring Revere's often overlooked contributions beyond his famous midnight ride, Matt highlights Revere's role as a skilled silversmith, an early adopter of industrial-scale production, and a pioneering manufacturer of rolled copper used in the hulls of ships like the USS Constitution. Revere, Matt argues, represents a rare fusion of patriotism and entrepreneurship, a model of the industrialist as public servant, not shadowy power broker. Matt shares reflections from a recent visit to Silver City, New Mexico, weaving observations about modern counterculture and patriotism into his storytelling. He offers a spirited defense of Americana, from sixth-grade bicentennial songs to the enduring relevance of the shot heard 'round the world. In the final act, Matt digs into a bigger historical question: how did America go from Revere's open, hands-on patriotism to the secretive oligarchy of J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller, and the Federal Reserve? With passion and clarity, he sets the stage for future episodes that will trace that arc—and explore how we might reclaim the founding spirit of innovation and liberty.
April 19, 2025 marked the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord—the moment the American Revolution turned from protest to war. What do we really know about that fateful day? How did the people of Concord prepare for what they faced in April 1775? David Wood, the longtime curator of the Concord Museum and the author of Eyewitness to Revolution: The American Revolution in the Concord Museum, joins us to explore answers to these questions.

This weekend, we celebrated the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride. Our Founders fought the mightiest military power at the time over a fraction of the tyranny we face from black-robed judges who have no power whatsoever to rule over the other branches. We're joined by legal expert Josh Hammer to delve into the unprecedented Supreme Court ruling over the weekend demanding that Trump halt removals under the Alien Enemies Act. Josh breaks down the procedural history to show how this is not a lower-court problem, but a Supreme Court problem. Once again, SCOTUS will not save us; it is part of the problem. He also explains the rationale for his new endeavor at the Article III Project, which seeks to rectify the mistakes of the Republican judicial selection mentality of the past. He offers three criteria he is looking for in Trump judicial nominees. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This is the semiquincentennial anniversary of the "shots heard 'round the world" at Lexington Green on 19 April 1775. Some call this civil war the Revolutionary War. It was a civil war because when the alert muster activated and Paul Revere and his fellow horsemen were warning the countryside, Revere was saying "the regulars are out" because he was British that evening in the saddle. This extraordinary event set in train the events that finalized the Atlantic seaboard divorce from the London overlords. I have walked this road in Massachusetts. I published the "Three Strikes of the Match" broadcast in March 2023 (Episode 11 at the Chasing Ghosts podcast). I think it is well worth your time.

Each Friday, Marcy Wheeler of emptywheel.net and I get together to recap much of the important news from the week just ending. It's a daunting task, but necessary at this strange and fucked-up time in history. Today, we covered Trump's attempts to mess with immigration, his continued actions in shutting down the government, shutting down the global economy and the end of his BS attempt to negotiate peace between Russia and Ukraine. We talked about yesterday's ruling from Judge Harvie Wilkinson dealing with the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador and the administration's disregard for due process. You can and should read the whole thing here. It's only 7 pages and more than worth your time!Today also happens to be the 250th anniversary of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, the night before the start of the American Revolution. Tomorrow and Saturday are also days that the magat faction likes... 4/19 is the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, and 4/20, Hitler's birthday and other nefarious occasions. (I'd prefer a peaceful day celebrating cannabis, but that's now what I'm worried about.) With another National Hands Off Day of protests planned for tomorrow, and rumors flying about the possibility of Trump using this occasion to invoke the Insurrection Act, we have some warnings about being safe and diligent if you join in the protests tomorrow.

This is the second of two "Sidebar" episodes in honor of the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride, which we will celebrate on the night of April 18 by putting two lights in a window of our house. Last time we explored the prelude to the ride in the months before the final crisis that triggered the march of the British "Regulars" on Lexington and Concord. This episode is the story of Paul Revere's "midnight" ride on the night of April 18-19, 1775, including the famous lanterns of Old North Church, the fraught trip across the Charles River under the guns of HMS Somerset, his spectacular horse Brown Beauty (one of the great equine heroes of American history), the "waking up the institutions of New England" that night in raising the alarm not just on the road to Lexington and Concord but throughout eastern New England, and his astonishing capture and release. And, sure, William Dawes and Dr. Samuel Prescott.

April 2025 marks the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. One of the lesser-known catalysts for these battles was the hunt for artillery. The British military, under General Thomas Gage, sought to seize weapons stockpiled by colonial militias, while Massachusetts Patriots scrambled to secure and hide weapons. This tug-of-war over firepower played a crucial role in pushing Massachusetts from political resistance to armed conflict. To better understand how Massachusetts got to this point, we're revisiting Episode 129: The Road to Concord, with historian J.L. Bell. John is the author of The Road to Concord: How Four Stolen Cannon Ignited the Revolutionary War and the prolific blogger behind Boston 1775.net.

We are coming up on the 250th Anniversary of Lexington and Concord, the battle that began the War for American Independence. This was the start a new nation, but it didn't happen overnight.
April 18, 2025 is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's "Midnight Ride" to alarm the towns around Boston that the "Regulars" were marching out to capture artillery and ammunition at Concord, or perhaps to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock. This was but the last of a series of crises that rocked New England in the months before the midnight ride and the battles of Lexington and Concord the next day. This episode explores those crises, known as the "Powder Alarms," and Paul Revere's central role in the resistance movement among Boston Whigs - including the famous Sons of Liberty - during those fraught years before the shooting began.
