What's the story with national anthems? Well, that depends entirely on the anthem. From the wildly mundane to the historically significant and every what else. In each episode I'll tease out the story of a song that helps tell the story of a nation. The connections between them will be a surprise and if I've figured this out you will be entertained. Questions, comments complaints, and corrections (please tell me where I'm wrong!) can get to me at anthemspod@gmail.com or at +1 (203) 759-8375
