Landslide
In the mid-1970s, the Republican Party looked on the verge of self-destruction. Until 1976. A political earthquake: A cutthroat, razor-close, deeply personal battle for the Republican nomination, and the party's identity. It resurrected the GOP, remade it as a conservative party, and pulled the country sharply to the right. Landslide is the story of the closest presidential primary race in American history, what followed, and how it reshaped the political parties — opening the partisan rifts that divide us today. Hosted by award-winning public radio journalist Ben Bradford.

“We need a season 2. Now more than ever. Understanding how this polarization happened; how we were pitted against each other; how magnates of industry used their fortunes to divide us … it’s all related and the world needs to hear it.”

“Seriously— I started listening and could not stop. A smart and nuanced dive into a key segment of US political history and the roots of the GOP’s hard lurch to the right in the late 1970s. I cannot recommend highly enough!”
