Plausibly Live! - The Official Podcast Of The Dave Bowman Show

In this episode of *Dave Does History*, we uncover the oily roots of America’s first major political scandal: Teapot Dome. Long before Watergate, this 1920s tale of secret deals, bribes, and backroom betrayals rocked the nation and shook public trust in government. Join Dave as he explores how a dusty Wyoming oil field, a red-faced Cabinet secretary, and a few well-connected oil barons brought shame to the Harding administration. From Navy fuel reserves to Senate showdowns, this scandal has it all. Subscribe now on Spotify, iHeart Radio, or iTunes and dig into the corruption that changed American politics forever.
