How much do you really know about the sacking of Gough Whitlam on November 11, 1975? You've probably heard his famous "well may we say" speech made on the day he was dismissed. But do you properly understand the extraordinary events leading up to the most dramatic day in Australian political history? How did it happen? Award-winning ABC journalist Alex Mann went looking for those missing pieces from the people who were there and discovered something wilder than he could ever have imagined. The Eleventh podcast is a political drama, a spy thriller and a story of love and lust. It's about power, big egos and even bigger mistakes.
