The 1920s gave us flappers, jazz, prohibition, and one spectacularly messy political scandal. In this episode, we’re diving into the Teapot Dome Scandal, where secret oil leases, bribery, backroom deals, and government corruption collided at the highest levels of the U.S. government. So how did a little-known oil reserve in Wyoming become the center of one of the biggest political scandals in American history? And how did the whole thing eventually unravel? In this episode, we are breaking down the people, the shady deals, and the fallout of the scandal that proved political corruption is definitely not a new invention.
