August 19 The Patriot: Francis Marion – The Swamp Fox of the Carolinas /// 116
If you saw the man who inspired Mel Gibson’s The Patriot you would never think he’d be the man to inspire a Hollywood blockbuster. Short, of noticeably French stock, Francis Marion was the epitome of a real soldier: enduring and wiry – not huge and bulky. He looked like the animals of the swamps he inhabited: hard, lean, a survivor. And more than anything else: surviving … while tying down hundreds – and even thousands – of British soldiers was a victory in and of itself. Marion went toe to toe with the best soldiers of imperial Britain … and he lived to talk about it. This is his story and the true story behind the film The Patriot. It’s the story of the Swamp Fox – and it’s all here and it’s all free on Battlecast – the world’s foremost podcast on war and its sociopolitical impact.

July 19 The Battle of Camden and the American Revolutionary War /// 115
The Battle of Camden was not one of the most important battles in human history. It was not the most decisive battle of the Revolutionary War. It was important – and it destroyed the careers of important American leaders – but it didn’t come close to solving the war. If one word could characterize the American Revolution in 1779 and 1780 that word is “stalemate.” Camden tried to break the stalemate. This is the story of that battle.

June 20 The Reversal: The Siege of Charleston and the American Revolution /// 114
The Siege of Charleston was one of the greatest military defeats of the United States in history. Starvation stalked the city. A miasma of fetid smoke choked the lungs. The water ran low. The bombardments ran high. Death and sickness were everywhere. Wild dogs took over whole blocks of the gridded city. This is the story of the Siege of Charleston.

May 21 The American War of Independence and the Battle of Monmouth /// 113
There are battles which decide the fate of nations, battles which set the arc of history, conflicts which decide the future of a civilization – prune it, the way a gardener shapes a decorative bush. This is not one of those battles. This is the Battle of Monmouth – the kind of battle where men die and people afterwards shake their heads and wonder aloud about what it was all for. But this is Battlecast and we cover all kinds of conflict on this show.
And so … it’s all here and it’s all free on Battlecast – the world’s foremost podcast about war and its sociopolitical impact.
This is part seven of an ongoing military history of the American Revolution. You can find episode six here, episode five here, episode four here, episode three here, episode two here and episode one here.

April 20 The Turn: The Battle of Saratoga /// 112
In any poker game, “the turn” is arguably the most important hand. When the fourth card is dealt, most poker players have an idea of how their hand will play out. In just the same way, The Battle of Saratoga was the “turn” of the Revolutionary War. After this battle, the game entered a new phase, a phase characterized by a turning of everything. Before the battle, Britain could concentrate the forces of her massive empire solidly on the rebels of North America. After Saratoga, concentration was nearly impossible. Before Saratoga, the United States of America had few formal allies. After the battle, the Continentals had one of the strongest allies in the world. It all came about because of one campaign, a campaign we call The Battle of Saratoga.
This is the story of that battle.
It’s all here and it’s all free on Battlecast – the world’s foremost podcast on war and its sociopolitical impact.

March 19 Victory or Death: The Battle of Trenton /// 111
The Battles of Trenton and Princeton almost single-handedly saved the cause of the American Revolution. For weeks, as Thomas Paine admitted, the Continental army had been driven like cattle before the onrushing British. Reversal followed reversal. Washington knew it; he confided his justified fears to his family members. But nevertheless, he refused to give up. Many of his men were nearing the end of their enlistments. If they left in a few weeks, Washington wouldn’t even have an army to retreat with. He had one choice: strike a blow and win or lose everything. Victory or death!
He chose victory.
This is the story of that momentous battle. It’s all here and it’s all free on Battlecast – the world’s foremost podcast on war and its sociopolitical impact.

January 18 The Skeleton March and the Battle of Quebec /// 109
In the fall of 1775, 1,000 Americans entered the western wilds of Maine and pushed overland to the very edge of modern-day Quebec. The trip was supposed to take three weeks. It took nearly triple that. Then the winter came. The Americans froze. They ate their own shoes. They ate green dog soup. And the wild animals ate them – and all of this took place on the overland death march before the epic battle of Quebec even began. The half-starved madmen who survived the hellish march shook their heads in disbelief as the thirty-foot-tall walls of Quebec City greeted their tired eyes. Then the blizzard came. A man couldn’t see ten feet in front of himself. A man couldn’t even see his own feet. It was in this Siberian hell that the Americans attacked.
This is the story of unspeakable pain. This is the story of mass starvation. This is the story of The Skeleton March.

December 18, 2025 A Military History of the American Revolution: Bunker Hill /// 108
Bunker Hill was one of the most important battles of the American Revolution. In this struggle, Britain attempted to break out of Boston, suffering some of the worst casualties incurred by the English in the entire war. At the same, General George Washington, in command of tens of thousands of unruly New England militia, sought to keep the British bottled up. Veteran redcoats attacked the American earthen redoubt near Boston; their total naval supremacy turning the nearby town of Charlestown into a smoking desolation, a second Sodom. And the burning of the city turned the air itself black, choked the fighters with heated clouds of sulfurous gasses. This is the story of that apocalyptic battle. This is the story of the Battle of Bunker Hill.
