Paul Revere's Ride: The Night That Saved America, w/ Kostya Kennedy

Today I'm thrilled to be joined by Kostya Kennedy — bestselling author, former Sports Illustrated senior writer, and the man who's brought us unforgettable portraits of legends like Joe DiMaggio, Pete Rose, and Jackie Robinson. His latest book, The Ride: Paul Revere and the Night That Saved America, takes us back to that fateful night, separating myth from reality and showing why Paul Revere's ride wasn't just a poem — it was a pivotal moment that helped save the fledgling American cause.

We're talking the real man behind the legend, the coordinated efforts of other riders like Dawes and Prescott, the high-stakes drama in the Massachusetts countryside, and what it all means as we head toward America250.
