Episode notes

Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams play Betsy and Arlene, two 15 year old girls who sneak out of the Watergate apartment. They also run into G Gordon Liddy on the stairs. At first the girls are totally enamored with their behind the scenes view of the White House. But then they discover Nixon's secret taping system.

A remixed complete version of our two part Watergate series from last year: 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. Plus a reporter from the Washington Post newsroom who never made it into All the President’s Men yet did more to safeguard the free press and American democracy than Woodstein ever did.
