The Mommy’s Pen Podcast – Season 3, Episode 8: Hamilton!

January 5, 2019 by Sue Campbell

Season 3 is continues! We’re combining Nora’s passion for history with Sue’s passion for story structure — giving you a historical story and pointing out the structural elements that make it compelling.

You can also listen using any number of podcast platforms and apps including Spotify, Breaker, Pocket Casts, Radio Public, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts.

Show Notes:

Season 3, Episode 8: Hamilton! 

This week we’re looking at the life of Alexander Hamilton, and Lin-Manuel Miranda did most of the heavy lifting for us, having written a well-structured (and extremely well-loved) Broadway musical. We probably should have mentioned that Hamilton is not suitable for all listeners, due to language and some “adult content.” Parents, please vet for your children.

Things we mention (or like but forget to mention) that you should check out:

  • Our mailing list! Sign up today and you’ll get cool subscriber only perks like bonus material and artwork, including an advance copy of my forthcoming novel, The Cat, the Cash, the Leap and the List.
  • The Reynolds Pamphlet, which was originally titled: “Observations on Certain Documents Contained in No. V & VI of “The History of the United States for the Year 1796,” In Which the Charge of Speculation Against Alexander Hamilton, Late Secretary of the Treasury, is Fully Refuted.” With a byline of “Written by Himself.”
  • Follow Lin-Manuel on Twitter. He is super good news.
  • Hamilton soundtrack. As if you need to be told.
  • Hamildrops. Extra songs from Lin-Manual and a talented array of collaborators.
  • Story Grid for all things related to the 5 Commandments.
  • Larry Brooks is the author of several books on story structure and writes at Storyfix.com

This post was lovingly sponsored by our Patreon supporters (you can become one, too!).

What kind of blog is this?

This is a blog for PARENTS. True, the writer, Sue Campbell, writes books for kids. But this blog is for grown-ups. It has some swearing and would be super boring for kids. Except for the swearing.

The PODCAST is for KIDS and PARENTS. In fact, my twelve-year-old daughter is my co-host.

If your kids like Sue's books, send them over to suecampbellbooks.com where there's some kid-friendly content. EVEN BETTER, join the mailing list. You get stuff for grown-ups and printable stuff for kids. And sometimes there will be super ill-advised giveaways or coloring contests for free books.

MORE ABOUT SUE: She makes an ACTUAL LIVING from writing words and marketing books and lives with her husband, two daughters, six chickens and one messy house rabbit in Portland, Oregon. And yes, Portland IS that weird. She really couldn't be any luckier.
