[Ads-l] Podcast on Pledge of Allegiance

[Shapiro, Fred]

The iHeart network has a podcast about the discoveries by Barry Popik and myself about the origins of the Pledge of Allegiance.  The crediting of Barry Popik for his incredible discovery about Francis Bellamy plagiarizing the Pledge is brief, but I praise Barry to the skies.  The podcast is long – about 45 minutes – but is pretty interesting and well-done.  Here is the link:
