This week join Steve, Andrew, and Jonathan as they discuss the early show trials of McCarthyism and how quickly US audiences fell in love with the real-life TV court drama. We also discuss McCarthy’s favorite defense when his “facts” didn’t stand up to scrutiny: accuse somebody else of being a Communist!
