A Revolution Highly Favorable

"...I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

- Thomas Jefferson, 1800 letter to Benjamin Rush

About the Show

On the 250th anniversary of American Independence, listen to the words of those who were there! Adapting for the first time 18th-century combat medic, historian, and POW David Ramsay, this fully AI-illustrated show features a different collection of readings each night.

Warning

Some evenings may contain gunshots, racial slurs, and/or references to wartime violence and sexual assault.

Dates/Times

Saturday, August 8th at 4pm: Peaceably to Assemble. When a distant autocrat imposes a series of crippling tariffs, a peaceful protest movement is met with overwhelming force.

Sunday, August 9th at 7pm: To Keep and Bear Arms. The first shots of the war are fired as the government attempts to seize a stockpile of contraband weapons.

Monday, August 10th at 7pm: To Dissolve the Political Bands. Differences become irreconcilable and thirteen new states are born, achieving their first victory on a stealth mission across the Delaware.

Wednesday, August 12th at 8:30pm: To Compleat the Works of Death. In the war's darkest hour, a southern capitol falls, and a highly-placed general betrays his commission. (NOTA BENE: this late-night show is focused on the horrors of war, and is not for the faint of heart or stomach. Seriously. I'm not kidding.)

Saturday, August 15th at 2:30pm: To Form a More Perfect Union. The war is won, and a new nation's citizens wrestle with who will be represented in their new government.
