Episode Synopsis

It’s 1776, baby, and the crew of Revolutionary Radio is throwing it back founding-father style! In this special Shift Happened episode, Betsy Ross, Sam Adams, Ben Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson crash the airwaves with fireworks, eel pudding, and a whole lotta sass. Discover why July 2nd was actually Independence Day, how Jefferson invented the swivel chair to write the Declaration, and why Ben Franklin wanted a turkey on your T-shirt. Explosions, beer, and bald eagle beef, it’s the most historically inaccurate celebration of liberty you’ll hear all week. Cheers to the 4th, even if you’re still not allowed to sign anything.
