- Total Crap
I was looking forward to some interesting examination of lingering questions, central truths, and inconvenient facts. Instead I heard MAGAesque vitriol that personally attacked the character of various protagonists. I got about halfway through the episodes and then stopped listening because the host made me want to throw up.

**Warning-Have an idea of who was involved before beginning.**
Watergate happened before I was born so I didn’t know much about it. Recently I have watched some documentaries and saw All The Presidents Men. I also read a book by Monica Crowley last year about her time working with President Nixon.

Apple Podcasts3jader201United States2 years ago These podcasts are one of the most brilliantly crafted exposes of corruption I have ever seen. Thank you John O'Connor for exposing the clear deceit of the Washington Post in it's reporting of Watergate and, for the most part, exonerating President Nixon. Some day, O'Connor's reporting on Watergate will replace that of the shameful Washington Post as the greatest example of investigative reporting. these podcasts, along with the book, cannot be recommended enough.
