Shocking! Lurid! Tawdry! A History of American Scandals

That Time Nelson Rockefeller Had a Very Stressful 48 Hours


Listen Later

Welcome a very special guest to the podcast this week, when Ellie MacPherson brings her zest, brio, and eye for the hilarious detail to the story of one governor of New York, his two wives, and 10 children.   

Yes, it's the Nelson Rockefeller story, including a particularly rough 48 hours in the early '60s that found him possibly torpedoing his political career for love, and one of his children disappearing in Papua New Guinea. 

If you love Ellie as much as we do, then be sure to check out her cabaret act Happy Birthday, Mr. President at Manhattan's Feinstein's/54 Below this coming President's Day. And follow her on Instagram!
