Catching up on here but I agree with everything you said about this podcast, Alycia! You can tell how much hard work and deep research was put into it, and anytime real researchers/historians take the time to debunk myths that have lingered for decades, I am onboard.

Historian Heath Hardage Lee reveals the real Pat Nixon—far more than the narrow, often misogynistic lens the media used. Behind the headlines was a warm, witty First Lady who advanced diplomacy & served with grace. Listen to the episode! 🌍 #SayItWithHisotry #PatNixon #FirstLadies
