The latest episode of
Vidalotry, the Gore Vidal podcast, is a lengthy one (40 minutes) that explores the extremely heated debates between Vidal and William F. Buckley, Jr.
It's interesting because, up to this point, Vidal has been extremely progressive in his views and his biting wit has never seemed
too mud slinging (more catty than anything) but he seems to reach his breaking point in the debates with Buckley. The debates are from 1968, which was not that long ago but long
enough that you'd hope we'd grown up beyond this kind of behavior.
All and all, well worth a listen.
