About this listen

Louisiana, 1928. It's election time and a young, intelligent, flamboyant candidate for the state governorship has emerged, promising to help the forgotten and smash the establishment in true populist style. His name: Huey Long. And he's on a quest to change America.

Professor Jerald Podair joins me to talk about Huey Long.
