497 - Poppy, Part 2 (2/11/21)

Will guides us through the life and times of George H.W. Bush, part 2: The Nixon Years. How was H.W. connected to a shadowy cabal of industrialists who were behind Nixon’s rise to power? Was Nixon the perpetrator of Watergate, or its intended victim? What was H.W. able to accomplish during his brief stint as head of the CIA? All these questions just raise more questions in this installment of what is increasingly shaping up to be the Chapo Studios Poppy Audiophonic Universe.
