Slow Burn

Slow Burn, hosted by Slate columnist Leon Neyfakh, focuses on a different presidential crisis each season, from the Watergate incident and impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon to the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Clinton's impeachment.

This is familiar territory, but Neyfakh and his team have amassed a treasure trove of historical materials—recordings, news clippings, and some original interviews—that help to breathe new life into it. Plus, if all you remember about Watergate is the bullet points from high school history, it's worth the reminder. As noted on the program page by Neyfakh: "People who lived through Watergate had no idea what was going to happen from one day to the next, or how it was all going to end. I recognize that feeling". These days, he's not the only one.
