Nixon at War
Nixon at War is a seven-episode podcast telling the story of Nixon and the Vietnam War and the lasting effects of the political and cultural fissure that the 37th president opened.
The website houses the summary, audio, and transcript of each episode, along with production info and press. A single scrolling page mirrors the narrative thread of the podcast and reinforces how the conversations and interviews play out like an intricately woven drama. Archival tape recordings form the heart of the series, and archival photos divide up and ground the site design. Grainy image effects and scrolling motions further engage viewers.
The podcast logo, adapted from one of the designs of Nixon’s 1970 campaign buttons, works in tandem with the site’s feeling of modern nostalgia.
