Episode Synopsis

We are by no means huge Broadway people. But like the rest of the population, we're obsessed with "Hamilton." Aside from being something we blast on the regular (sorry not sorry, neighbors), "Hamilton" makes us wonder: is the popularity of the show inspiring a renewed interest in American history? And is it problematic that the play has many historical inaccuracies caused by taking creative license? Take a listen to see just what we and our special guest, our friend Noelle, have to say! And be sure to listen closely -- there may be a quiz at the end. So raise a glass to freedom and do not throw away your shot at listening to this episode!Articles discussed:Hamilton the Musical Google SearchesFounding Fathers Google SearchesSecondary Character Google SearchesSchuyler Sister Google SearchesPolitifact Article - Hamilton Fact CheckingAlexander Hamilton Graphic Novel - Act 1 InaccuraciesAlexander Hamilton Graphic Novel - Act 2 InaccuraciesWW Organization and Citizenship TestWW Test Results
