Along the backroads and town squares of Georgia, two thousand bronze markers stand as quiet witnesses to a revolution that textbooks have often simplified or overlooked. Andrew Iden's podcast Marked! treats these roadside plaques as primary sources, inviting listeners to encounter the American Revolution not as a tidy national myth but as a lived, fractured, deeply local experience. Georgia — young, divided, and complicated — turns out to have a great deal to say about what independence actually cost and meant.
