Sorry for the questionable audio quality! It will be better next week.

In june of 1972, five burglars were caught red-handed in the DNC’s head headquarters in washington DC. In the eyes of the public, what started as no more than burglary quickly took on a life of its own, barreling through the nation, the white house and straight in to the oval office.

In today's episode (and also the first ever!!) of The Z Files I cover the watergate scandal, and how it led to the first ever resignation of an American President, Richard Nixon.
