PODCAST

The Anthems Podcast

What"s the story with national anthems? Well, that depends entirely on the anthem. From the wildly mundane to the historically significant and every what else. In each episode I"ll tell the story of a song that helps to tell the story of a nation. The connections between them will be a surprise and if I"ve figured this out you will be entertained. Questions, comments complaints, and corrections (please tell me where I"m wrong!) can get to me at anthemspod@gmail.com or at +1 (203) 759-8375

As for the country: He’d sell it to “Bill Gates or anyone else who can afford it”.It’s debatable if you can actually sell a country to someone else, but it would have been pretty neat if this had actually

Hi. I live on a SUPER busy road and you can definitely hear cars and stuff in this record.
