Selects: John Lennon and the FBI

In this classic episode, Josh and Chuck explore the unusual story of how former Beatle John Lennon became a target of FBI surveillance under the Nixon administration. They detail how Lennon's anti-war activism and his high-profile, informal political savvy made the U.S. government feel so threatened they tried to deport him. The episode unpacks Lennon's transformation from pop star to political figure and the specific legal and political pressures that led to him having an FBI case file.
