I’ve loved and listened to Csoan got many years. I can’t get t through the podcast due to the endless commercial interruptions!
It is truly unbearable . It just ruins the listening experience.
One or two are doable- that has not been the case of late and it’s disappointing.
A must listen. Even Brian was surprised and I think he felt betrayed by people in his past who he trusted.
Corey Brettschneider lied when he said Richard Nixon ordered the Watergate break-in. You let him lie. C-SPAN should know better.
I listen to many of the C-SPAN podcasts and I enjoy them, but Booknotes is my favorite. I especially like the tilt towards history. Many of the topics are interesting, but particularly useful to have historical perspective when we’re going through such turbulent times.
Excellent interview with Dwight Chapin. We need stories of this caliber especially regarding Watergate.
Bring Dwight back for a part two interview. I was in high school during this Watergate episode and I am more convinced that Dwight Chapin had no business going to jail. Hello, John Dean are you listening!
