I was watching the NH primary returns and saw an advert for the “Slow Burn” debut on Epix Feb 16th 10ET

I’m a big fan of the Watergate tale. “All the President’s Men“ is on a loop. It’s so rare that we see how the sausage is made. It takes an impeachment for the rats to scramble into the sun and tell the tale in some faint hope of contrition.
I stumble on the fact that “Slow Burn” was a podcast series. I think I know quite a bit about Watergate and I am immediately humbled and hugely entertained.

The ancient Romans owned all this and more.
I hope we don’t have to wait 50 years for the Trump inside story.
