The line between debate and theater has never been thinner than in the explosive 1968 televised confrontations between Gore Vidal and William F. Buckley Jr. This pivotal moment in American media history forever changed how we consume political discourse, transforming substantive argument into entertainment.
Join us as we explore this fascinating time capsule through Morgan Neville and Robert Gordon's 2015 documentary with our special "Debate Dual Delight" bourbon cocktail. In this episode, co-hosts Jonathan C. Legat and Tricia Legat, and producer Michael Noens discuss how these televised confrontations continue to influence the political landscape today.
