Our story begins with a young man from out of town, born in 1755, part of a revolution.

One of the young voices, someone always taking notes, writing like he was running out of time.

Somebody who rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.

And sometimes went too far.

This is the story of Bertrand Barere de Vieusek, born the same year as Alexander Hamilton.

And he said something that led to something that changed the way that people in another country thought of themselves for a long time.

Hey, it's Seth, and this is a Kimbo.

We'll be back in a second to talk about a nation of shopkeepers.

But first, here's a message from our sponsor.

It's Seth, and this is a podcast.

It's a podcast produced by Alex Depama.

Alex is a bit of a podcast whisperer.

Alex and I are inviting you to join us in the podcasting workshop.

And this is Alex Depama, Seth's co-teacher and producer.

In this class, you'll learn not just the technology to make a podcast, because honestly it's pretty easy.

You'll learn to find your voice, you'll learn to find the others.

And together in this proven workshop that's back again, you'll discover that you can make a podcast.

Not to make money, because unfortunately you probably won't.

But to make a difference, to be heard, and to find the people who want to hear from you, which is even more important.

I hope you'll check it out.

Go make a ruckus.
