Podcast Episode 69 - All Star Trainwrecks - Richard Nixon - Part I

 

As foretold by the prophecy—well, the one I made myself—I’m back, with the first episode of our series on All-Time, All-Star History’s Trainwrecks. Since I’m going in no particular order, I’m starting with Richard Nixon, our thirty-seventh president and first and only one thus far to resign before his term ended.

 

Before I started my research, I had the same sense that most people who lived through the seventies did (though I had barely started solid food when Nixon went home in disgrace).

 

In short, I thought he was an unpleasant, criminal douchebag who disgraced the highest office in the land. Good riddance, former President Nixon, I thought while I watched Sesame Street and waited for someone to change my diaper. Off to California with you.

 

Boy was I wrong.

 

This series about all our best trainwrecks will be quite the revelation.

 

For all of us.

 

I hope you enjoy it, and thank you as always for your continued support. I couldn’t do this without you.
