Joint Episode: Thomas Paine with History on Fire

Explore one of the most unique and controversial Founding Fathers! Together with Historian Daniele Bolelli (History on Fire Podcast), this episode examines the life and impact of Thomas Paine. The conversation covers Paine's influential works, 'Common Sense’, 'Rights of Man’, and ‘The Age of Reason’, and highlights his pivotal role in the American and French revolutions. Despite his popular contributions to revolutionary thought, Paine's later work resulted in infamy, leaving him isolated at the end of his life. Daniele and William also discuss his complex relationships with notable figures like George Washington. You can find History on Fire on all podcast apps. I recommend the Joan of Arc series!
