I put it on my ipod and have listened to the first three episodes while hiking. Its incredible. The parralels with what we went through with Trump are striking. Now, Agnew was very smart and smooth. I shudder to think what would happen nowadays if somebody like Agnew was living in the present and had access to media like twitter and the like . We would not have survived it.
