Howard Korder explains how much of a trickster, and how charming, Benjamin Franklin was

Joan Juliet Buck interviews Howard Korder, co-writer and co-producer of “Franklin”, the 8-part marvel from the team that brought you "The Sopranos". “Franklin”, streaming on Apple TV+ , is as lavish and candlelit as “Barry Lyndon” but more fun, and explodes the myth of fundamental American purity.
Watch Benjamin Franklin manipulate to steer bewigged and rouged French aristos into funding the American Revolution to piss off their arch enemies, the British.
