It's America's birthday today so we decided to talk about some of our favorite American History audio dramas to celebrate. Austin Peachey joins Andrew and JD to talk about "The Day Independence Came" from Adventures in Odyssey and a few other patriotic AIO episodes. They also talk about more American History themed productions from other series. Then JD chats with writer/director Phil Lollar to get some behind the scenes info on some of these iconic AIO episodes, talk about why it's important to know history, and why understanding how story works can make us better people. And JD also shares a handful of audio drama tidbits to kick off the whole party! Don't miss this jam-packed episode!
