NOW AVAILABLE: The Free Version of MASTER PLAN (Episodes 1 & 2)

Today is the big day: We’re launching a free version of MASTER PLAN, The Lever’s new investigative podcast series exposing the 50-year plot to legalize corruption in America.

Click here to subscribe on the podcast player of your choice and start listening to the first two groundbreaking episodes:

Master Plan reveals the untold history of how a small group of operatives and oligarchs deregulated America’s campaign finance system, legalized corruption in order to buy legislation, court rulings, and elections. The series reveals how all of this is coming to fruition in the 2024 election. 

Available now:

Ever wonder how America became so corrupt? It didn’t have to be this way. Our series begins in 1971, a time when hot pants were hot, bell bottoms were swinging, and campaign cash flowed like… milk.

There’s a lost tale behind Watergate: corporate bagmen, suitcases of illegal cash, and Nixon circumventing the very campaign finance rules he’d just signed into law. Amid the blowback, Nixon leaves a ticking time bomb in the heart of Washington.

To access all of the first two episodes’ bonus content, including secret Nixon recordings and video of reformers storming the offices of political operatives with suitcases of corporate cash, subscribe at a discount right now.

If you become a paid subscriber, you can also listen right now to Episode 3 and score early access to all future episodes. Here’s what’s in store:

A seemingly moderate corporate lawyer grows alarmed by anti-corruption reformers’ policy wins and writes a manifesto detailing how corporations and oligarchs can dominate American politics. Months later, he’s confirmed to the U.S. Supreme Court by senators unaware that his manifesto is going viral among the business elite.
