Description
It's the penultimate episode of our LBJ's America series! On this episode we round out 1968, which sees Richard Nixon win the presidential election and be on his way to the White House. We chat about Nixon's record and how, after promising to bring the American people together, he ended up driving them further apart. Also, was LBJ really trying to be a hippie in his final years before dying 1973? We answer this question and much more. The final episode will dissect the legacy of LBJ's America and we hope you'll join us again. Cheers, Mark and Malcolm Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
