Episode notes

The identity of deep throat remained a secret for 30 years. Scores of investigative journalists, documentarians and private detectives tried to solve the mystery but no one pulled at al esgetting pretty old. One of hollywood's final exploitations of the watergate myth before deep throat outed himself was the 19 99 comedy with dick.

Journalists may write the first draft of history but Hollywood prints the legends and the myths. The 1976 film All the President’s Men remains our most authoritative account of Watergate. The film is also responsible for the myth of Deep Throat. Your host follows the myth… from 1976 to the present. This is the first half of a new ToE miniseries about America’s complicated relationship with truth and lies.
