Larry discusses the New Off-Broadway Play ''FATHER ANONYMOUS'' with Historian and Playwright Robert Blecker
Father Anonymous tells the story of America’s forgotten founder Dr. Joseph Warren and his more famous friends, Samuel Adams, John Hancock and Paul Revere. Opening on the day of the Boston Massacre (1770), it closes with Joseph’s martyrdom at Bunker Hill (1775). With some laughs and tears and lots of good history, Father Anonymous dramatically rescues from obscurity America’s Forgotten Founder and the principles for which he stood – and fell. Although John Hancock’s signature has stood the test of time, for almost a century Paul Revere languished, mostly forgotten, until Longfellow’s poem brought his midnight ride to the forefront of American consciousness. Sam Adams brew is on the lips of the People across America. George Washington, of course, has always been the Great American Icon, while his deputy, Alexander Hamilton, now gets celebrated center stage eight times a week. On this 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, it’s about time to restore our Nation’s martyred Founder, Dr. Joseph Warren, who sent Paul on his famous ride and for two months commanded America’s armed struggle – until he died at Bunker Hill and Washington replaced him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Larry with Etiquette Expert - Podcast Host of 'WERE YOU RAISED BY WOLVES' Nick Leighton on Proper Protocol when Dining Out and Gift Giving
Nick Leighton, cohost and producer of Were You Raised by Wolves?, a weekly podcast in which he and cohost Leah Bonnema look into the many sticky social situations we all face. ''With each of the questions that we get, from the bonkers to the ordinary, I always try to take a step back and ask, ‘What are the bigger principles here?' I'm always looking for topics that help us make a larger point. ''In each episode, Leighton, a two-time Emmy Award-winning journalist, and Bonnema, a comic/writer, share practical advice on how to navigate a wide range of situations, from the serious to the whimsical - - whether they tackle interrupting excessive talkers, establishing healthy boundaries with coworkers, or the proper way to eat Cheetos. When they developed the show in 2019, Leighton and Bonnema had one goal in mind: to have empathy for other people. Their informal conversations tackle a mix of personal topics, viewer questions, and the occasional historical fact with warmth and positivity and humor. Leighton views this approach as an antidote to a lot of the negativity he sees in the online world and says: ''I want to give everybody the tools to solve their own etiquette problems''.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
