    About this Episode

    Hey, y'all! This week we are diving into one those deep dives that just keep going and going. In the early 20th century, Louisiana politics became the playground of the most powerful progressive populist America had even seen: an enigmatic attorney named Huey Long. 

    For part one, we are talking about Huey's childhood, his skill at dropping out of all forms of education, his start in law, and his first political race for State Railroad Commission.
