    <description>250 years ago, the United States of America was born. But how did people in America rise up, overthrow British rule, and go on to create a radical new nation?

Welcome to Founding Fathers: An American Dream - the new show from the award-winning Noiser Podcast Network, hosted by Clarke Peters (The Wire, Treme, Da 5 Bloods).

Each week, we'll take a deep dive into this epic story. We'll follow George Washington as he leads patriots into battle...travel with Benjamin Franklin on crucial missions overseas...sit alongside Thomas Jefferson as he writes the Declaration of Independence...and hear Alexander Hamilton fiercely debate the future of the country.

But the tale of American independence is about more than just a handful of patriotic men. It features a cast of millions - men and women, enslaved and free, indigenous and colonial. We'll explore lesser-known stories in this immense fight for liberty...and ask who lost out along the way...

Brought to life with immersive sound design and original music, plus contributions from leading historians and descendants of those involved.

Founding Fathers: An American Dream is available for free wherever you get your podcasts or at noiser.com.

      <title>1. The Great Awakening and the Growing Rebellion</title>
      <link>https://www.noiser.com/founding-fathers-an-american-dream</link>
      <description>European superpowers battle for control of North America. A charismatic preacher takes the American colonies by storm. And the rabblerouser Samuel Adams leads protests over unfair taxation, ending in tragedy on the streets of Boston. These are the early stages of the American Revolution. The first steps on a path that will lead to all-out war with Great Britain. Heroes and villains will emerge. But our story begins in a simple townhouse in New England in 1706...as a baby boy named Benjamin Franklin is born...
