Welcome back to the show! Apologies for the hiatus, but we are ready to tackle Part 2 of Season 1: Yellow Journalism. Great news! Episode 9 was the third most-listened-to episode of the series, and it would be greatly appreciated if you could share this podcast with your friends and family. 

I was really surprised to see how many of our pod listeners are from outside of the U.S. (Welcome!!!), including Germany, the U.K, Canada, New Zealand, France and Japan (to name a few).... U.S. listeners hail from many of our country’s great cities, including Washington, D.C., San Jose, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City (my hometown), Chicago and New York City. Thank you all for listening!

For those of you who have missed any of our previous episodes, including our most recent episode on how TV changed the news, we encourage you to visit www.howthebl--p.com and listen through your favorite podcast provider, including Apple, Spotify, Audible, Pandora, and many more! Links to all are on the website. We also have an entire webpage featuring the resources used to research this season of How the Bleep Did We Get Here?!

Back in 1960, Vice President and Presidential hopeful Richard Nixon blew his shot at the oval office by bungling his T.V. debate appearances. I want to warn you in advance: the next couple of episodes are going to be very Nixon heavy because I strongly argue, he (intentionally or unintentionally) fundamentally changed the way we report about the presidency and created multiple scenarios that inspire generations of journalists, and this also alters the future of yellow journalism.
