Like it was for all Americans, August 1974 was a stressful time for me: Inflation was at an all-time high. We were deep in a global recession and weary from the constant threat of living in a Cold War. And I was trying to decide whether the Cinderella dress my grandma had made me for a Halloween costume would make the right impression for my first day of kindergarten. But above all, there was Watergate and the resulting resignation of President Richard Nixon — perhaps the only event more significant to me that year than starting school. This led me to finding two of my favorite podcasts.
