In this podventure, we discuss the episode “The Price of Freedom,” in which a new history teacher challenges twelve-year-old Kirk McGinty’s starry-eyed view of the Vietnam War. Thing is, Kirk’s father died in the war. Now Kirk is left to grapple with the conflict’s moral complexity and wonder about his father’s place in it. Yeah. On Odyssey’s silly-to-serious spectrum, it’s about as serious as it gets. Also, playing war, current events, and hard-hitting discussion questions. (Also also, Tats knows the Bill of Rights is another name for the first ten amendments. Don’t @ her.)
