  • DDH - “One of the Great Worthies of the Revolution”
    2026/06/09
    John Dickinson is one of the most misunderstood Founding Fathers in American history. While Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin are remembered as champions of independence, Dickinson is often remembered as the man who opposed the Declaration of Independence. Yet that simple description leaves out one of the most remarkable stories of the American Revolution. Long before Jefferson wrote the Declaration, Dickinson was known throughout the colonies as the "Penman of the Revolution." His influential Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania helped unite colonial resistance to British taxation and shaped the constitutional arguments that fueled the Patriot cause. He stood at the center of the Stamp Act Crisis, helped draft the Declaration of Rights and Resolves, and became one of the most respected political thinkers in British America. In this episode of Liberty! 250, we explore the life and legacy of John Dickinson, from his rise as America's leading political writer to his dramatic stand during the debates of July 1776. We examine why he opposed immediate independence, the famous speech he delivered in the Continental Congress, and the warnings he believed his fellow delegates ignored. We also follow his remarkable journey after independence, as he took up arms for the Revolutionary cause, helped draft the Articles of Confederation, served as President of Delaware and Pennsylvania, and played a crucial role in the Constitutional Convention of 1787. Far from being an opponent of liberty, Dickinson devoted his life to securing it. His story reveals that the American Revolution was not simply won by those who shouted the loudest, but also by those willing to ask difficult questions about how a free people would govern themselves once independence was achieved.

  • WTF - The 150-Year Question
    2026/06/07
    This week on What The Frock?, Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod tackle one of the most fascinating questions of the modern age: if medical science continues advancing at its current pace, how long should we expect to live, and would we even want to? What begins as a conversation about longevity quickly turns into a thoughtful exploration of purpose, legacy, aging, faith, technology, and the changing world around us. Along the way, the discussion moves from deeply personal reflections to broader questions about society, medicine, and what it means to live a meaningful life. The episode also ventures into some surprising territory. Dave shares a military story that raises questions about faith, identity, and tradition. The conversation examines how institutions adapt to a changing culture and why seemingly small policy decisions can spark unexpectedly passionate reactions. As always, there are detours. A discussion about sports fandom takes an unexpected historical turn, leading to one of Dave's favorite unsolved mysteries. There are stories from the Navy, reflections on family, observations about modern culture, and more than a few moments of humor that only What The Frock? could produce. The episode wraps up with a lighthearted debate that may permanently change the way you think about a famous science fiction film. Whether you come for the philosophy, the history, the theology, or the laughs, this week's conversation offers a little bit of everything. Join Rabbi Dave and Friar Rod for another wide-ranging journey through the ideas, stories, and questions that make life interesting. Just be prepared to leave with a few new things to think about.

  • Thoughts on Sportsball
    2026/06/05
    Why are you a fan of the teams you love? It sounds like a simple question, but the answer may reveal more about America than sports. For generations, loyalty to a team was rooted in geography. You cheered for the local club because it represented your city, your neighborhood, and your community. The Dodgers belonged to Brooklyn. The Broncos belonged to Denver. The Mariners belonged to Seattle. But does that still hold true in the twenty-first century? In this episode of Plausibly Live, Dave Bowman explores the changing nature of sports fandom in an era of fantasy leagues, social media, corporate ownership, and constant mobility. Why do we support the teams we support? Is it where we live, where we grew up, the players we admire, or simply the stories that captured our imagination as children? Along the way, Dave dives into the growing controversy over taxpayer-funded stadiums, the ongoing battles involving franchises seeking new facilities, and whether fans should continue subsidizing billionaire owners. He also examines the fascinating ownership models used in Japanese baseball and Korean professional sports, asking whether America could ever adopt a similar approach. From the Brooklyn Dodgers and Ebbets Field to the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Flyers, and Seattle Mariners, this is a conversation about sports, identity, community, and what happens when the connection between a team and a place begins to fade. It is a thought-provoking look at sports history, stadium politics, Major League Baseball, and the future of fandom itself.
