You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Hi, Bruce here. Today I'm doing things a little differently and bringing you a preview of another podcast I think you'll enjoy.

It's called Fiasco. And it's from Leon Nafoc, the creator of Slow Burn. Now, on Fiasco, Leon looks back at some of the forgotten twists and turns of the past

and sheds light on what it means for the present.

Isn't that great?

That's what we do on this podcast.

And you know Leon Nefok because he has been on My History,

Can Beat Up Your Politics politics before I talked with him

about the Clinton Whitewater scandal and Lewinsky scandal. One thing you know about Leon from his

podcast is that he gets into a lot of detail. So some of the things he covered, we've covered on

this podcast, but maybe in an episode or part of an episode, he's going to get some real research and details of focused on the topic.

He's got a new season of fiasco out now, focusing on the Iran-Contra Fair.

In the fall of 1986, Ronald Reagan found himself at the center of a massive scandal that looks like it could bring down his presidency.

It involves secret arms trafficking in Iran, a covert war in Nicaragua, and an attempt to buy back American hostages in Lebanon.

And the destruction of lots and lots of evidence in D.C.

The unbelievable details of the scandal captivated the nation nearly 40 years ago,

but few of us remember it today.

Leon asks why the Iran-Contra affair didn't leave a bigger mark on American culture,

and looks at why this story so deeply resonates with today's political climate.

All right, here's the preview.
