Benedict Arnold

This week, Demetria and Isaac tackle America’s great traitor! Who was Arnold, and what did his trial for a series of ridiculous charges have to do with his decision to betray his country? 

Other extremely important topics covered in this episode: Benedict’s very bad top secret Twitter handle, how good Isaac’s butt looks in 18th-century breeches, and why militias are the worst way to put together a functional army.
