    BONUS - The American Revolution on PBS - Our interview with co-director Sarah Botstein
    Nov 6 2025
    The American Revolution changed the way the world worked; the principles of governance in the new country laid the foundation for movements all over the world. On November 16th, Ken Burns and his team premiere their 6-part documentary series on PBS called, as you might have guessed, "The American Revolution" We had the opportunity to sit down with co-director Sarah Botstein to talk about the inspiration and impact of this conflict. This is the interview that we previously posted at the end of our Betsy Ambler episode, and we thought it was important to post it again as a standalone bonus episode, for easier access.

It’s like listening to a friend tell a story, except with researched details. I went to see the musical “Six” and before I went I listened to the History Chicks podcasts on Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn and the “other four wives”. It really filled in the background details in the musical (which was fantastic).

History with a sense of humor.

These ladies are the bomb!

I introduced myself to the History Chicks with their coverage of Francis Perkins. I'd never heard of her and I was hooked. I have now listened to every episode. I love this podcast because they've introduced me to great and/or infamous women, their lives, their struggles, their failures and their successes. The History Chicks humanize these ladies. Listening to a podcast is like having an intellectual conversation with great friends. And let's face it, given where we are in living History, we need some reminders that we've been down before, but we can still do great things with these women as our guides. Sometimes you'll hear about things we shouldn't aspire to, but avoid. But more often, I find inspiration in my History Chicks journeys. My 12 year old daughter and I (and even my rooster) dream of the day we can go on a field trip! Listen and learn.

friends bring women's history to life
