Few scandals in U.S. history have been as major and consequential as Watergate. What began as a small-scale burglary would eventually lead to the resignation of President Nixon. And, it was the scandal that launched a thousand ‘gates’.

On each episode of Wondery’s podcast The Big Flop, comedians join host Misha Brown to chronicle one of the biggest pop-culture fails of all time and try to answer the age-old question: who thought THIS was a good idea?

The Watergate scandal was a multi-year ordeal with many twists and turns. As the investigation unfolded, it became clear that this one went all the way to the top.

This is just a preview of The Big Flop. You can listen to the full episode wherever you get your podcasts, or at wondery.fm/thebigflop.

So, why are we still fighting the same battles? Franchesca Ramsey and Conscious Lee make the connections between what Hamer went through over 50 years ago, and the struggles of medical racism, disenfranchisement, and the disintegration of reproductive rights that we face today.
