1 hr 1 min - Ep. 140 - Benjamin Franklin Part II: Super Scientist, Piss Poor PoliticianLast week we began the story of one Benjamin Franklin who had dropped out of school at the age of 10, ran away from an apprenticeship, and became a wealthy and successful printer. He retired at the ripe old age of 42, but that wasn't even close to the end of his story. This week we're taking a look at Ben's life in retirement in which he would develop several scientific theories, ditch his family for a life in London, and ultimately fail to maintain harmony between England and the American Colonies. It's a super fun episode of HPH filled with all sorts of chicanery and we just know you're going to love it.

In this episode we'll detail the manhunt for Galt that would take months and would span throughout multiple countries. Would anyone find out who he really was? Would he be brought to justice?
