An in depth tutorial and discussion around the assassination of John F. Kennedy, (JFK) the country's 35th president who was brutally murdered in Dallas Texas on November 22, 1963. The series comprehensively explores the major facts, themes, and events leading up to the assassination in Dealey Plaza and the equally gripping stories surrounding the subsequent investigation. We review key elements of the Warren Commission Report , and the role of the CIA and FBI.

We explore the Jim Garrison investigation and the work of other key figures such as Mark Lane and others. Learn more about Lee Harvey Oswald the suspected killer and Jack Ruby the distraught Dallas night club owner with underworld ties and the man that killed Oswald as a national TV audience was watching. Stay with us as we take you through the facts and theories in bite sized discussions that are designed to educate, and inform as well as entertain the audience. This real life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History.

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
I gave a 5 star rating for this highly informative podcast that puts context around JFK’s assassination. Given the volume of information my chief criticism is the host could drop the extended introductions to some episodes and limit discussing his personal life. Details are this podcast’s strength and its weakness.
Additionally I would like Mr. Crudele to list his references/resources for each episode in each episode. Since the host is not a primary researcher sources matter all the more.
And note, my review is mostly about style not the substance of the podcast. The substance makes it valuable in the constellation of JFK assassination podcasts.

I have read many books and watched many documentaries on the JFK assassination and this podcast is by far the best source of information — hands down! I have listened to the first 25 episodes so far, and Mr. Crudele presents primary source information in an unbiased manner. I am hearing here, for the first time, testimony and evidence I have never read or heard elsewhere in books and documentaries. I highly recommend this podcast!

I am a relative newcomer to the podcast, having only discovered it a handful of months ago. However, I have been fascinated and intrigued with the assassination of President Kennedy since my first visit to Dealey Plaza in the early 1970s. I was but a small boy then, but the story has gripped my mind to some extent ever since.
Mr. Crudele, thank you so much for your tireless efforts to both educate and entertain your audience. I feel you do both rather admirably.
I have gleaned some valuable nuggets whilst following along on your wanders. What’s more, I very much like your style. You seem like a very nice, very intelligent, and very diligent man.
In a short time, I have voraciously consumed the vast majority of your past episodes. I now anxiously await each new offering!
With the sincerest of hearts, I pray that God will richly bless you and yours.

I’m 45 years old. I have been fascinated by the JFK assassination dating back to 1985.
Oliver Stone’s movie JFK was the next time I remember being curious about what happened in Dallas the day JFK was murdered.
Fast forward to April of 2014. I went to Dallas to watch a Nascar race. There was one extra day in my trip because of rain postponing the race. I went to Dealey plaza to visit the 6th floor museum & finally as an result of really absorbing the presentation there and seeing the site with an adult perspective; I started to understand I knew very little about the times before and right after JFK was murdered.
It’s the significance & the entirety of how complex this event was to American and world history that has led me to fact find and research as much information that I can consume about JFK to have a better understanding of todays world.
I know I rambled above, but I did so to explain why the work & dedication that Jeff Crudele is doing by publishing this podcast is exceptional. I am current as of the time I am writing this review. I have found that Jeff explains and demonstrates the information in each episode smooth, concise, factually accurate, and informative. I do not sense or hear a bias in his presentation of the information. I highly recommend that you give this podcast a listen to get a foundational sense of the people, places, things, and events of the time surrounding JFK’s assassination. Jeff lets you the listener draw your own conclusions as if you’re a member of the jury. That’s important.
We don’t have all the answers & there are still so many documents that haven’t been revealed to us, the general public. Jeff, along with so many others, that have already researched what has been published takes us through a very interesting journey telling this story.
Jeff if you’re reading this, thank you for all you have done in this space & I appreciate your ability to create and share this podcast with the world.
