This week, we look back (and clean up from a multi-day power outage) and celebrate the 250th birthday for the US.

Brian Patrick Mulligan is Ben Franklin. And Teddy Roosevelt. And Winston Churchill. And he's been Charlie Chaplin, Oliver Hardy and Harpo Marx.

Brian isn't possessed, he's an impersonator, bringing history to life for people. Sometimes he talks to school or library groups. Sometimes he talks to corporations. Obviously he knows a few things about this founding father.

We talk with Brian about how he got into this line of work, some of his favorite  quotes and what facts we've all been getting wrong about Franklin for decades.
