When you read hundreds of books a year, you develop a system.
Meet Terry the Destroyer.

Step into the story of the American Revolution at the historic Indian King Tavern during this special Tavern Tour 250 event exploring New Jersey’s role in America’s fight for independence.
On May 28 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. guests will journey back to 1777 inside the very tavern where New Jersey Patriots gathered to debate, organize, and shape the future of a new nation. Discover the dramatic history of the Haddonfield Skirmish, hear stories of revolutionary intrigue and resistance, and experience one of the region’s most important colonial landmarks.
The experience continues with a visit to @kingsroadbrewing, where attendees can enjoy a Founding Father Pub Ale inspired by George Washington’s own small beer recipe — a flavorful toast to America’s revolutionary past.

"From my very first memories, I knew that the FBI was chasing us," Zayd Ayers Dohrn says. "My parents tried to explain it in terms [like] we were like Robin Hood or we were like the Rebel Alliance in Star Wars. So I knew in the way a kid knows that our lives were precarious."
His mother, Bernardine Dohrn, was a leader of the '60s radical student group Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which opposed the war in Vietnam and racism. Along with his father, Bill Ayers, she helped found the Weather Underground, a group committed to armed resistance against the government.
Dohrn spoke with Terry Gross about his radical childhood on the run, visiting his mom in prison, and the questions he needed to ask his parents. His book is ‘Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground.’
You can hear this interview today on our podcast. Link in bio.

This year, the @buffalosabres made a complete 180, ending a 14-year playoff drought and now contending to be NHL champions.
To celebrate their historic turnaround, we sit down with Sabres mega-fan Scott Lee, who went viral hoisting his 30-lb welded-steel Stanley Cup replica on social media with other fans. We also learn what this win would mean to the city of Buffalo. Listen to Sports in America wherever you get your podcasts.

Comedian and author Chris Duffy says that when times are tough, we need laughter more than ever.
His book, Humor Me, explores the benefits of cultivating a sense of humor: laughter strengthens relationships and is good for our health, alleviating stress and releasing endorphins, which reduce pain.
Humor, he says, also helps us to be more observant, more vulnerable and more willing to take social risks. This week we're revisiting his conversation with Marty Moss-Coane on @theconnectionwhyy about how to find laughter in our not-so-funny world.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Representation isn’t just a principle. It determines who gets heard, who gets help, and who gets left behind. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are reminded that the Declaration of Independence placed representative government at the center of the new American nation.
WHYY, McNeil Center for Early American Studies at Penn and the National Constitution Center have come together to explore early American life in the context of ongoing debates about representation and its significance in civic life.
Join us for a powerful conversation that centers youth perspectives on the American dream and its ideals.
