History Has Its Eyes on Hamilton

In the words of Hamilton’s George Washington (sort of), you have no control who lives, who dies, who fact-checks your story!It’s been 10 years since Hamilton hit the Broadway stage and 5 since its smashing debut on Disney+. The musical turned "the $10 founding father" into a pop culture icon — but how much of it is actually true?To fit a lifetime of revolution, romance, and rivalry into just under three hours, Lin-Manuel Miranda took some creative liberties — which he fully admits! In this upcoming episode, I dig into what Hamilton got right — and where it played fast and loose with history. Using insights from historians and sources like Ron Chernow’s biography (the book that started it all), we’ll explore the real stories behind the characters and moments that made Hamilton a cultural phenomenon.There's also an America-themed Maza's Mickey Minute, plus, of course, there's Meghan's Cuckoo Bananas Joke of the Week!Don't forget to leave a rating or a review and tell your friends to help this podcast reach more people!Be sure to follow us:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Threads⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠And check out past episodes and find out more about the pod on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
