NOISER LAUNCHES FOUNDING FATHERS: AN AMERICAN DREAM
Play Founding Fathers: An American Dream Trailer
250 years since the Declaration of Independence, a sensational new boxset tells the story of the founding of the United States of America.
Through its trademark immersive storytelling, the award-winning Noiser Podcast Network tells the tale of the Founding Fathers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, and the generation who created an independent America.
In eight pulsating episodes, narrator Clarke Peters will lead us through the incredible story of how the United States of America was born.
Using the most famous Founding Fathers as his guides, Clarke will take us from the stirrings of revolution in Boston, through eight years of brutal conflict, and into the tense, exciting years of the early American republic, when the USA teetered on the brink of civil war.
But this isn’t just the story of a select few prominent men. The founding of the United States features a gigantic cast of characters. This series will introduce us to rousing religious preachers, Native leaders intent on saving their communities, and the thousands of women without whom the American Revolution would never have happened.
Through gripping storytelling and interviews with expert historians, Clarke will bring these characters to life.
And, we’ll hear absorbing testimony from the descendants of people who were directly involved in this epic tale: a teenage soldier who captured his incredible experiences in a fascinating diary; the enslaved servant of Thomas Jefferson who stood by Jefferson’s side as he wrote “all men are created equal”; and Lord Charles Cornwallis, the general who presided over a stunning British defeat at Yorktown.
There will be tales of high-minded idealism that continue to inspire people around the world. But the series will also lift the lid on the ugly legacies of America’s origin story.
This is a gripping, warts and all telling of how the United States came to be – and, in the year of its 250th birthday – where it might headed.
