As an Independence Day treat, we hop into the time machine for a little "Ain't it Sneaky" here on the show with the twisting tale of the Culper Spy Ring, America's first foray into espionage during the Revolutionary War.

Formed after the tragic execution of newbie colonial spy and forever Connecticut hero Nathan Hale, the Culper Spy Ring was the brainchild of none other than George Washington, who realized a more sophisticated system of spycraft was necessary if the fledgling Patriot cause was ever going to win the war against British oppression. Thanks to the guts and gumption of a ragtag group of civilians, military men, and one mysterious lady known as "Agent 355", the Culper Spy Ring helped ensure that the cause of American freedom would win out - ensnaring traitors like Benedict Arnold and Loyalist spies like Major John André in the process.

This week, we raise a glass to freedom - and our Founding Sneaks - on our way to hit the beach (and a cooler full of White Claws). Viva la Revoluciòn!
