Episode 46 • Thomas Paine’s Common Sense: A Revolutionary Life and Legacy
Welcome Back Patriots!
Okay, today, we are going to talk about a man that many have heard of, as well as the remarkable impact his words on parchment had on the entire cause, the civilians and more importantly, the Continental Army itself.
I am talking about Thomas Paine. I will discuss his auspicious beginning, we will dive into two of his most famous writings, “The American Crisis” and “Common Sense,” and how well they sold and the impact they had will likely amaze you.
I will also talk about what he did after the war, which did NOT help his popularity any.
Then, I will talk about what happened happened after his death, well, what happened to his body, which is hard to fathom. It’s odd, funny and sad at the same time.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
