About this listen

Richard Nixon's secret tapes captured him plotting Watergate's coverup, creating the most comprehensive confession of presidential criminality—one he never intended anyone to hear. This episode examines how the powerful confess: only when forced by overwhelming evidence, carefully parsing admissions to reveal minimum necessary truth, and attacking those who exposed them. From Robert McNamara's decades-delayed admission that Vietnam was "terribly wrong" to Lance Armstrong's aggressive decade of lies before finally confessing to systematic doping, from Tiger Woods' carefully staged infidelity admission to Bill Clinton parsing "I did not have sexual relations" before DNA evidence forced truth, from televangelist Jimmy Swaggart's theatrical tears to Marion Barry caught on camera claiming "the bitch set me up," and Mark Felt finally revealing himself as Deep Throat thirty years later. These confessions aren't moral courage—they're strategic damage control, ego management, and power's last attempt at narrative control.
