Episode 8
Happy Birthday America!
America's 250th is just behind us, but I didn't want to let the holiday go by unnoticed--it's a big one!
This is a repeat of Week 36 from last year, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America. Never read them? Neither had I--but they aren't long and, wow, are they worth the time. And what better time than now?
If you'd like to listen to other episodes that are especially American, check out these episodes:
Week 43: Frederick Douglass and W.E.B. DuBois (Frederick Douglass is a MUST READ for every American!)
Week 39: 19th Century American Literature
Week 47: 20th Century American Short Stories
We'll be back next week to talk about everyone's favorite rogue, Tom Jones. I'm so excited for this one--it's one of the funniest novels I've read in a long time!
