Episode 74: Chasing History - Carl Bernstein

In this episode, Anthony is joined by Carl Bernstein, pioneer in investigative reporting, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and author. Together they discuss his new bestselling memoir ‘Chasing History: A Kid in the Newsroom’ which recalls the origins of his storied journalistic career as a teenage reporter for The Washington Star, covering historic events including the election and inauguration of JFK, his assasination, and the struggles of the civil rights movement. Carl also discusses breaking the Watergate scandal with Bob Woodward 50 years ago. Finally, Carl tells us his thoughts on the state of journalism in the wake of the Trump administration and in the throes of social media and the 24-hour news cycle, and gives his take on the role journalism plays in American democracy today. Follow our guest on Twitter:https://twitter.com/carlbernstein Follow us:https://twitter.com/moochfm  https://twitter.com/scaramucci  Subscribe on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3HidGjy Sign up for our newsletter at:www.mooch.fm Created & produced by Podcast Partners:www.podcastpartners.com
