Landslide
In the mid-1970s, the Republican Party looked on the verge of self-destruction. Until 1976. A political earthquake: A cutthroat, razor-close, deeply personal battle for the Republican nomination, and the party's identity. It resurrected the GOP, remade it as a conservative party, and pulled the country sharply to the right. Landslide is the story of the closest presidential primary race in American history, what followed, and how it reshaped the political parties — opening the partisan rifts that divide us today. Hosted by award-winning public radio journalist Ben Bradford.

This series has been the best I’ve listened to in years. Great nuance and a through line to use the facts of 1970s US. Politics to understand our present…and future
Great Series with Context

This is very well done. Great storyline and production. Very entertaining to listen to. Presents an important timeline in American political history with some insights and background details likely unfamiliar to many - they were to me. There is the predictable hint of smugness that comes with any NPR associated production, but it does not rise to the level of unlistenable that regrettably plagues so much of NPR these days.
Every US voter should listen to this series!

This podcast goes back in time to explain - with fascinating detail - how US politics has evolved over the past 4 decades to produce our current political reality. It’s an invaluable lesson for all voters. And it’s a fun and exciting listen!
