Leon Neyfakh on Iran–Contra and Other Scandals

Leon Neyfakh is the co-creator and former host of Slow Burn, which won the iHeartRadio podcast award for Podcast of the Year last year. Now, he's the co-creator and host of Fiasco, entering its second season on Luminary. This second season deals with the Iran–Contra scandal, including some of the stories and people that you know—like Iran and Nicaragua, Bud McFarlane, John Poindexter, and Oliver North—but also some things you might not remember that make the story a very rich scandal indeed. David Priess spoke with Leon about Slow Burn, Fiasco, and especially about the Iran–Contra scandal.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast.
