Benjamin Franklin House on Yunk Life Podcast

Our very own Dr Megan King and Jessica Ingram appeared on the 4th of July episode of Yunk Life, the official podcast of Passyunk Avenue – London’s only authentic Philly dive bar.

 

Dressed for the occasion, Megan and Jessica represented Benjamin Franklin and Polly Hewson, the daughter of Franklin’s landlady here at 36 Craven Street. In the episode, they chatted about Franklin’s love for London, his involvement in the city’s various 18th-century social circles, and his love of air bathing.

They also set the record straight: Benjamin Franklin was NOT a serial killer. Although we did uncover bones buried beneath our basement, they were the result of an anatomy school, owned and operated by Dr William Hewson, Polly’s husband. You can learn more about the Craven Street bones here.
