John Wayne


Listen Later

There aren’t many things more American than baseball, apple pie, and John Wayne.  Wayne lived in a time where movie stars were revered, almost as mythical figures, and due to lack of social media, 24/7 coverage, and the good ‘ole boy system.  He dodged the cancel culture by multiple decades, but as the internet has shown, you can’t hide forever.  What could “The Duke” have done to bring him to our courtroom?  Was he a real American hero, or was there a lot more to his war-time story?  We’ll dive into this and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
