Fascinating and thoughtful

a wonderful series on how George McGovern changed h
US politics, for better and worse. Very important history for anyone who takes part in the political process.

Wow

This is incredibly informative.

This first episode has answered so many questions I’ve had about the look of modern politics. Eagerly looking forward to the entire series.

Thoroughly researched, condensed political story.

Thank you Mr. Bradford for explaining a part of the American Story that happened in my lifetime but never made it into my history books. OF THE PEOPLE covers many of the missing and not divulged segments of the last 65 years.

Listen to this--it's OUTSTANDING

If you have any interest in history or politics, you will find Bradford's "Of the People" a rewarding use of your time. He puts you in the front seat of this political theater allowing you to see and feel how murder, backstabbing, war, dirty tricks, racism, and betrayal from the 1968 and 1972 elections created most of the political landscape we have now.

A Timely Historical Piece

Having lived through the period Bradford's piece covers, I can say he brings an ignored area of inquiry into beautiful relief. I am so impressed by his obviously well researched work and his craftsmanship in telling the story of how events unfolded. This, combined with the story's relevance to our current political plight, makes me eager for each new episode. It's a winner!
