Episode 7: You Can't Fire Me -- I Quit

Disgraced Vice President Spiro T. Agnew officially becomes a private citizen and addresses the nation one last time... as a convicted criminal. Agnew continues his attacks on the press and the prosecutors right to the end. But his sudden resignation leaves questions-- unanswered-- that echo 45 years later. Can a President or Vice President actually be criminally indicted while in office? And if not, what sort of pressure can be brought to bear... to force them out?

Bagman Podcast overall review

Fascinating. Love hearing Rachel Maddie narrate. And loved the wrap up which included some of the primary players throughout and at the end. Just a fascinating look at this piece of history.

Fascinating historical perspective on Agnew

Amazing details about Spiro Agnew, and how he almost got away scott free for Crimes both before and during his time as Vice President.
I loved this series!

Wow, what an unexpected ride!

I loved Rachael's last book, Blowout, so I was excited to see she has a new book to listen to. I love her story telling ebb and flow, I really feel in love with her reading voice in that book.

When I saw Rachael talking about her new book I thought to myself, wait, didn't she do a podcast about that? I really meant to listen to it but why would you need to read the book if you'd heard the podcast?

So I finally got started on the podcast and then just couldn't stop. My husband and I were just enthralled from start to finish and now I want to read the book even more!! Well, listen to it I mean.

Thanks for what you do Miss Rachael Maddow. You are so very appreciated in all the ways.

Very noisy

The story is very interesting but the background noise was terrible. Cut down on the music.
Thank you
