16: Five Star Fourth

from Notes from a Small (Cold, Dark, Miserable) Island · host Day of Reckoning Media

Early July is a particularly poignant time for American expats, as it's when we celebrate kicking British ass by detonating explosives and eating copious amounts of whatever it is that ends up in a hot dog.So how can you recreate fun Fourth of July celebrations away from home? Fortunately your hosts are on hand to get you in the mood by reminiscing about Midwestern suburbs, sugar-filled parades and voluminous air pollution. Matt and Mike also discuss whether the Founding Fathers pulled a fast one on us all just because they wanted a holiday right in the middle of summer. Happy Independence Day!
