SNAFU with Ed Helms · Snafu Season 2: Episode 1: The Citizens Commission to Investigate the FBI · 16 Sep 2026 podcast

This season, we bring you Medberg, the story of a daring heist and the colossal FBI Snafu it exposed. matched

This is journalist Betty Medzker. matched

That Tuesday was March twenty-third, nineteen seventy one, two weeks after the Ollie Fraser fight. matched

It began like any other morning. matched

Betty woke up in her apartment in Washington, D.C. matched

She had her usual breakfast, a couple of pieces of toast, took the city bus to work, and arrived at the Washington Post offices at 10 o'clock. matched

Betty was a born Pennsylvanian, but she'd never heard of Liberty publications. matched

She took the envelope with her to the newsroom. matched

You might have a picture of that Washington Post newsroom, typewriters clacking away like machine gun fire, thick haze of cigarette smoke, someone screaming, Copy! matched

Woodward and Bernstein running around shaking notepads at each other with their latest scoop. matched

Well, that picture, immortalized in the classic book and movie All the President's Men, is actually pretty darn close. matched

Especially according to matched

Betty, the cigarette smoke. matched

But in the spring of 1971, Woodward and Bernstein were still nobodies. matched

Watergate was still just a hotel, and the Washington Post hadn't yet become the crusading institution that took down the Nixon White House. matched

Betty herself was a young reporter who'd been at the paper for just a year. matched

Her beat was religion, and she shared an office about the size of a walk-in closet with a motley crew of fellow reporters. matched

Yeah. matched

the smirch department. matched

But that morning Betty didn't have time for any smirshin' around. matched
