Well told story that only makes Blago, by his and his family’s own words, look worse than he already did. Just about the perfect length, excellent background and details, and intriguing with laughs throughout.
Great

Loved hearing the events firsthand and in such an unbiased way.
A sad game of entrapment

Well done podcast. Lots of people have opinions on him but I think Rod was a dope who made things in politics more explicit and was punished for it whereas other politicians are not. Yes he wanted personal benefit for the senate seat but he did not get a benefit, he was foolish to not play Obama’s game because he was jealous of him. Why was he audiotapes for years and other politicians not taped?
