1 小时 8 分钟“Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!” George Wallace, Governor of Alabama, was one of the most successful third-party presidential candidates in American history. In 1968, he ran a populist campaign pitching himself against the Civil Rights movement. He pushed to uphold formal structures of white supremacy in the South, forever employing racist dog whistles at his rallies and in the media. He may not have won the presidency, but his approach paved the way for a new, incendiary brand of politics, which permeates American society to this day... Join Dominic and Tom to discuss George Wallace’s 1968 campaign. They explore the legacy of his political career, how it shaped the modern Republican party, and why the Alabama Governor could be considered the precursor to Donald J. Trump. _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.

Now Dominic, if you look at most successful businesses, you will notice one thing they all have in common.
They all took a lot of hard work.
Would you say that's true of us?
Would you say that's true of the Rest is History?
I think that is true actually, Tom.
I think we both do work quite hard on it, don't we?
We spend a lot of time preparing the episodes.
It's not quite the effortless superiority that everybody imagines, but I have to say it does help to have a good team.
It's a challenge, isn't it, that all companies face hiring.
So this can be a daunting task.
Especially when you need to find someone right away and you have too many or too little options to choose from.
That's right.
