Founding Fathers Pt3: A Shot Heard Around the World
About this episode
The episode covers the events leading up to the Revolutionary War, including Paul Revere's ride and the selection of George Washington as commander-in-chief.
The colonies prepare for battle. Paul Revere rides into the New England backcountry with a warning: the redcoats are coming. In the town of Lexington, the first shot of the Revolutionary War is fired - and a teenage boy from rural Massachusetts is thrust into the centre of the vicious conflict. George Washington is chosen as commander-in-chief of the brand-new Continental Army. But how can Washington turn a ragtag group of rebels into a force capable of standing up to the might of the British Empire? A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Clarke Peters.
