SLOW BURN

On Slate’s Slow Burn podcast, Leon Neyfakh excavates the strange subplots and forgotten characters of recent political history—and finds surprising parallels to the present. Season 1 captured what it felt like to live through Watergate; Season 2 does the same with the saga of Bill Clinton’s impeachment.
