Is it possible for an American Vice President to carry out a criminal enterprise inside the White House and have nobody remember? To have one of the most brazen political bribery scandals in American history play out before the country while nobody’s paying attention? In her first original podcast, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow goes back 45 years to dig into a story that got overshadowed in its day. There’s intrigue. Corruption. Envelopes of cash delivered to the White House. It’s a story that’s not well known, but it probably should be. Especially today. Bag Man. A Rachel Maddow podcast from MSNBC. Listen to the Peabody Award-nominated series now.

Customer Reviews
Really engaging story
I was just a young child during the Nixon administration and I knew virtually nothing about Spiro Agnew . This podcast informed me about a part of history of which I was not aware. The parallels to today’s politics cannot be ignored.
Rachel’s storytelling is very engaging, and each episode left me wanting more. I highly recommend this podcast!!
MY DAD DETESTED AGNEW
Although I was just a kid in 1975 I recall my Dad expressing a particular distaste for Spiro Agnew. Dad wasn’t a proponent of the Nixon administration but while he dislikes “Tricky Dicky” I’d say he hated the living daylights out of Agnew.
Outstanding and timely!
The public has largely forgot this very dishonest man, but his playbook has been used so much by the 2017-2021 regime mis-running the country.
