Shootout

NPR
About this episode
With the primaries over, the nomination hangs in the hands of a few remaining "unbound" delegates. Ford and Reagan scramble to win them over, as the battle to lead the Republican Party — and to decide its direction — comes down to a national convention known as the Shoot-Out in Kansas City. There, a series of gambits, promises, and betrayals culminates with a nominee, a conservative platform, and the modern GOP.

Hosted by Ben Bradford. A production of NuanceTales, in partnership with WFAE, distributed by the NPR Network.
