1.10: The Capture of Benedict Arnold (with Mannie Tobun)

Editor/Producer Mannie comes out from behind the scenes to join us as we talk about this episode. We discuss Christopher's fears about time-travel, the team's big decision to help Flynn, and the reveal of the awful David Rittenhouse. Not to mention that huge cliffhanger and so. much. more!

In the History Minute, Heather covers Benedict Arnold, the Culper Spy Ring, George Washington and the big differences between the real David Rittenhouse and the fictional version.

NOTE: Mannie did not have a proper microphone so his audio is not fantastic. We apologise for the bad bits of audio.

Also, this episode was recorded before negotiations broke down between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP.
