BOB DOLE — A Three-Season Audio Documentary Series

Two Upcoming Installments

Season Two

Bob Dole: The Life That Brought Him There

Before the campaign. Before the slogans. Before the headlines — the life.

Season Two traces the extraordinary, often overlooked journey that forged Bob Dole long before he became a presidential nominee. From a Kansas boy who left for World War II and returned with devastating injuries, to a patient rebuilding himself at Percy Jones Army Hospital alongside other wounded veterans, this season tells the story of how grit, discipline, and moral clarity shaped one of America’s most consequential political figures.

This season follows Dole’s ascent from Russell County Attorney to Congress, and then to the United States Senate, charting his rise through the Republican Party during some of the most volatile decades in American history. We examine his tenure as RNC Chairman, his role during Watergate, and his legendary razor-thin 1974 Senate reelection victory over Dr. Bill Roy — a race that changed the trajectory of his career.

Listeners will also hear the inside story of Dole’s vice-presidential campaign, his years as Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and his time as both Majority and Minority Leader.

Built from original interviews with U.S. Senators, senior Dole staffers, and journalists, alongside rare archival audio and historic news coverage, The Life That Brought Him There is not just biography — it is the story of how leadership is forged.

This is the season that explains who Bob Dole was before America decided what to make of him.

Season Three

Bob Dole Campaign 1996: The Campaign of a Lifetime

A front-row seat to one of the most dramatic presidential races of the modern era.

Season Three is an immersive, deeply reported account of Bob Dole’s 1996 run for the presidency — a campaign built on legacy, urgency, and the belief that a lifetime of service still had one final chapter to write.

This season takes listeners inside the primaries, strategy fights, and pressure-packed moments that defined Dole’s quest to defeat a sitting president. Through exclusive oral histories from Dole insiders, U.S. Senators, campaign veterans, and journalists, we reveal how the campaign was really run — and how close it came to changing American history.

Adding a rare dimension, host Randal Wallace brings listeners along through his own experience as a volunteer in the pivotal South Carolina primary, where the campaign was nearly derailed — and later across the long, grinding road to the Republican nomination and the general election.

Using archival news coverage, historic speeches, behind-the-scenes stories, and firsthand testimony, The Campaign of a Lifetime reconstructs the race as it actually happened — not as it was simplified afterward.

Plus we look at the the three books our host has
