Ep. 230: At Long Last ft. Spencer Ackerman

Henry Kissinger finally died at age 100. Spencer Ackerman had the honor of penning his obituary for Rolling Stone.

Spencer Ackerman returns to the show to recap the life of Henry Kissinger. Spencer was commissioned last year to write the obituary for Kissinger for Rolling Stone, which published this week and you should read here. We go through the obituary, talk about what went into the process, what decisions he made when framing Kissinger’s legacy and we also get into how the media typically whitewashes the legacy of America’s worst figures after they die.
