404 - Walter Cronkite

Often on Do Go On, we like to tell you about people whose name you probably recognise, but whose life you know little about. This week, we tell you all about 'The Most Trusted Man In America' - Walter Cronkite.

This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 05:16 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).
