From Cafe and the Vox Media Podcast Network, welcome to Stay Tuned.

I'm Pete Barara.

The culture has changed. America has changed.

What the standards are, what lines can't be crossed as changed.

And Richard Nixon is bad as he was in so many ways.

We're still an institutionalist.

And that just doesn't exist with this present-day Republican party.

That's Kurt Anderson.

He's the host of the New Public Radio Exchange Podcast, Nixon at War.

Anderson is a veteran chronicler of American power and politics.

In the 1980s, he founded the influential Spy Magazine, where he was an early critic of Donald Trump.

For 20 years, he hosted the Taste Making Radio Show Studio 360.

And recently, he's written two books, Fantasy Land and Evil Geniuses,

which dissect the roots of our nation's current problems with truth, money, and extremism.

Anderson and I discuss President Nixon's fragile psyche

and the lessons our own leaders can learn from his mistakes.

We also break down the state of modern media and the shifting relationship

between the New York Times and an iconic expletive.

And just a note, we do use that expletive towards the very end of the show,

so listener discretion is advised.

That's coming up. Stay tuned.

Charge into a new era with the all-electric Cadillac Lyric.
