Episode description as stored
<p>13 equal horizontal stripes in red and white, with a navy blue square in the top left bearing 50 small white five pointed stars. It's recognisable the world over as the flag of the United States of America.</p>
<p>But how did this become the American flag? When did it develop its own 'cult'? And does Betsy Ross have anything at all to do with this story?</p>
<p>Don is joined by Marc Leepson, author of <em>Flag: An American Biography.</em></p>
<p>Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.</p>
