The Boston Sisters talk with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff—co-executive producer of the 2024 Apple TV series FRANKLIN (starring Academy Award-winner Michael Douglas as Benjamin Franklin) inspired by Schiff’s award-winning book A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America.

We get into the real Franklin: the improvised diplomacy that the Continental Congress never quite understood, his fascinating and fraught partnerships with the powerful women of the French court, his bitter rivalry with John Adams, and the painful estrangement from his loyalist son William.

This is the Franklin your American history class probably left out.
