Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry! A History of American Scandals

2022년 8월 9일

이 에피소드에 관해

We're living in a golden age of Martha Mitchell content, and we couldn't be more delighted.

Fresh off the success of Starz's limited series Gaslit, Kasey walks Mark through the life and scandals of our favorite Watergate whistleblower, who was discredited as a drunken grotesque by the Nixon administration as she tried to tell everyone who would listen that Nixon and CREEP were involved in the Watergate break-in.

From her appearance on Laugh-In (where Lily Tomlin shunned her) to her imprisonment in a California hotel room by bodyguards to the chrysanthemum arrangement anonymously sent to her funeral that proclaimed "Martha Was Right," here is the wild, unlikely story of an Arkansas woman who spoke up, spoke out, and then slipped into semi-obscurity for decades.

That Time They Called the Cavalry on WWI Vets

2022년 8월 23일

The American veterans of the Great War just wanted that bonus the United States had promised them a little bit early. Guaranteed to pay out in 1945, a little thing called the Great Depression had them all impatient to cash it in 12 years early—so the Bonus Army traveled to Washington, D.C., to make…

That Time Designing Women Invented Drama

2022년 8월 16일

Designing Women was hardly the first show to feature clashes between performers and producers (go read about All in the Family some time).

That Time Zsa Zsa Gabor Slapped a Cop

2022년 8월 19일

It was the slap heard around the world. No, not the Oscars 2022. We're talking Los Angeles 1989 when Zsa Zsa Gabor was pulled over for expired plates and ended up embroiled in a three-week trial that made Depp v Heard look boring.
