Explain Boston to Me

The Boston Massacre with Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King


Listen Later

Let's call this the "time is a flat circle" episode. Daniel Berger-Jones and John J King from the Get Shocked podcast and Boston History Company are here to talk about the Boston Massacre. We discuss the myths behind this seminal Revolutionary era event, clashes between occupiers and the occupied, local proclivities towards self-government, and the moments throughout history when theoretical violence becomes real violence. Yup.

RIP Dan McQuade. (The beloved compilation he created.)
