Rogues, Buffoons, and Statesmen

Rogues, Buffoons & Statesmen (The Podcast) follows Gordon Newell's riotous 1975 history book of Washington State politics, episode by episode — from muddy territorial Olympia in the 1840s to the mid-20th century. Meet the mule-riding senators, bribe-reporting freshmen, revolver-waving representatives, and occasional actual statesmen who built a state government. Because as Newell knew, and Will Rogers confirmed: politicians are frequently funnier than comedians.
