    • E00: Series Overview –– The Mystery of Watergate
      Aug 2 2024

      Watergate is the most infamous scandal in American history; yet in spite of its high name recognition, there is still an awful lot that we don't know about the bungled burglary that started it all –– namely, why was the Democratic National Committee even targeted in the first place? It's a simple question with no easy answers. In this series overview, I lay out what's missing from the 'official story,' make my case for why it matters, and give a preview of what you can expect from future episodes that will critically examine theories that involve Howard Hughes, CIA plots to assassinate Fidel Castro, sexual blackmail, and much, much more.

    • E01: All the President's Spies –– A Prehistory of Watergate
      Aug 2 2024

      Richard Nixon was not the first president to make questionable demands for political intelligence. Rather than a bug of his administration, espionage was a feature of the postwar presidency. In this episode, we explore how past presidents –– particularly LBJ –– made personal use of the FBI and CIA, we examine how escalating social unrest prompted a push to expand domestic surveillance, and we consider the expectations that Nixon held of his intelligence agencies as he entered office.

    • E02: Leaks and Limitations –– Nixon's Early Frustrations
      Aug 19 2024

      In response to foreign policy leaks and other concerns early in his presidency, Nixon pushed his intelligence agencies, much like his predecessor once did, to produce intel through warrantless surveillance. This episode, we meet the president's inner circle –– Henry Kissinger, John Mitchell, Bob Haldeman, and John Ehrlichman –– and we examine how then recent scandals involving the FBI and CIA had given rise to new laws on domestic surveillance that caused both agencies to impose limitations on how far they were willing to go in order to accommodate demands made by the Nixon team as they tried to grapple, first, with leaks and, then, with the growing number of bombings carried out by antiwar radical groups.
