Clinton Boxers or Briefs (1994) w/ Kelsey and Alex from Normal Gossip - a podcast by Jody Avirgan & Radiotopia

It’s May 7th. This day in 1994, during a town hall airing on MTV, President Bill Clinton is asked whether he wears “boxers or briefs.”

Jody, Niki, and Kellie are joined once again by the hosts of Normal Gossip to discuss why MTV was hosting a town hall with the president, why Clinton even bothered to answer — and what we make of the more gossipy political interview approach.
