In the years following her time in the White House, Lady Bird Johnson spent countless hours detailing her life experiences with historians for the LBJ Presidential Library. To bring her incredible story to life, host Jade Emerson unearthed those never-before-played audio files and interviewed historians, White House insiders and the people who knew and loved Claudia Alta "Lady Bird" Johnson. This intimate portrait begins deep in the woods in East Texas and follows her path as she transforms from a shy, quiet child to a powerful political advisor and a beloved Texas icon. "Lady Bird" is produced by The Drag, the production house behind the popular true crime podcast series "Darkness."
