Episode 16: 1776
After way too long of a delay, I'm back to discuss 1776--from the publication of "Common Sense" through Washington probably saving the Revolution.

Good for Adults Too!
Even though my eighth-grade days are well behind me, I find this podcast an enjoyable listen. There are two main reasons.
1) Dr. Glenn does not dumb things down, and even if I already know the historical details, his presentation of the big picture ideas is thought-provoking.
2) As someone who learned US history a generation or two ago, it is fascinating to see how much the teaching of the subject has evolved — for the better!
