  • 11.2 - The Boston Massacre (The Incident on King Street)
    May 5 2026

    By 1770, Boston was a city under siege. British Redcoats patrolled the streets while patriot groups like the Sons of Liberty fought a shadow war against British taxation. Tensions rose to a breaking point in March 1770 in an event that some call the first shots of the American Revolution: The Boston Massacre. We attempt to tell the story... from the British perspective.

    In far away London, a newly minted Prime Minister North is just settling into his new role.

  • The Beatles (Hosted by Abram)
    Apr 1 2026

    They might not have been bigger than Jesus, but they certainly were bigger than Robert Walpole, William Pitt, or Harold Wilson: they were "The Beatles". In this very special episode, Abram takes the microphone and whisks us into a magical mystery tour of Beatles history from their start as the Quarrymen to a very special rooftop concert, and all of the multi-colored aquatic conveyances in between.

  • 11.1 - Frederick North, Lord North (Part 1)
    Mar 23 2026

    Frederick North spent his childhood in the Leicester House orbit as a playmate of the young George III, a boy with whom he shared an uncanny resemblance. As an adult, he proved himself a man of order, conviction, and fiscal diligence. After a decade of unstable governments, George III called on his old companion to steady the ship of state. But with Britain facing imperial crisis and Boston nearing a deadly confrontation, could a “competent administrator” stop a revolution? Featuring a trailer for the Grand Dukes of the West podcast.
