This story of the Revolution is not the one you got in high school - and that’s a good thing. It’s far more complex, colorful, and interesting than a list of facts and dates. The global revolution is the one we should all know!

My teenage son and I love listening to this podcast. Well-researched and well-narrated, with voices from different cultural backgrounds to give you a sense of how diverse early America was. Highly recommend for history enthusiasts!

Hope there will be more. I was truly enjoying this podcast.

What they never taught in school, yet again.

Are there only going to be four episodes? An excellent historical background that I don’t recall learning much about in school as a kid. Impressed by the idea that Britain was the second great multinational corporation behind the Catholic Church. And it gives interesting perspective into the origins of the second amendment of our constitution.

The level of historical detail and expertise in this podcast is not just impressive but eminently engaging. This podcast reveals the facts that are often untold and untaught except at the highest levels of academia. Yet, it is told in a compelling and exciting manner that keeps the listener engaged. If you love American History and want to brush up on the Rev War in advance of the 250th Anniversary in 2026, this is the podcast for you.

This new podcast is exactly the way to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. It’s well-paced, features excellent history writing, and the variety of experts offering detailed insights adds even more substance. Another nice feature is using actors to voice key figures reading period letters and accounts. A great way to learn about the Revolution for the first time or to deepen your existing knowledge. My favorite new podcast!

Really engaging podcast! I appreciate getting the context of the battles and conflicts, especially the diplomatic challenges between the Indigenous and European peoples.

The subject line is the gist of my review, but I will add that if you are even casually interested in the American Revolution, this one is a must. It is just a true pleasure to listen to. The fact that I am continually learning new things is a bonus!

I love this podcast! It’s thoroughly researched and full of detail. I enjoy that it’s narrated in storybook form, where each episode is like the next chapter of the book. It’s obvious that everyone involved with Worlds Turned Upside Down is extremely knowledgeable and they make each episode engaging and exciting, especially host Jim Ambuske. The background music and sound effects also bolster the listening experience. Whether you’re a historian, professor, student, or simply fascinated by the Revolutionary War and the events surrounding it, you’ll enjoy this podcast. Another awesome podcast from R2 Studios!
