A story from the 19th century told that British soldiers marched off the surrender ground  at Yorktown  to the tune of "The World Turned Upside Down."  Whether true or not is beside the point.  The world may indeed have seemed upside down.  To help us come to grips with the myriad of ways in which life in the British Atlantic world changed, we talk with historian  James Patrick Ambuske, producer and narrator for the "Worlds Turned Upside Down" podcast, a production of R2 Studios at the Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.  Jim Ambuske is also the co-director of the  Scottish Court of Sessions Digital Archives, and other projects to inspire historians.
