Episode 3: You're a Patriot in Boston After the Tea Party. What Do You Do?

December 1773. The Boston Tea Party has just taken place. The harbor is filled with ruined tea, tensions are rising, and the future of the colonies hangs in the balance.

In this immersive episode of The Lived History Podcast, you'll step into the role of a Boston shopkeeper as the British government prepares its response to one of the most famous acts of protest in American history. As rumors spread, loyalties are tested, and daily life becomes increasingly uncertain, you'll face the same difficult choices ordinary colonists confronted on the road to revolution.

Will you join the Patriot movement and resist British authority? Remain neutral and protect your family and livelihood? Or support the Crown and condemn the destruction of private property?

Along the way, you'll meet key historical figures including Samuel Adams and King George III, explore the impact of the Intolerable Acts, and discover how a dispute over taxation and representation evolved into the American Revolution.

History isn't just what happened—it's how people lived it.
