I came here from George’s other podcast Striaghtiolab, expecting this to be more comedy. It’s not but that’s okay - it’s great!! I’ve been gorging on this. They have knowledgeable legitimate guests and the hosts strike a good balance of informed but casual. It’s not a daunting research podcast because these topics have been exhausted anyways. This still manages to be fresh and it’s very approachable because they are fascinated themselves. I also really like that they cover all of the various Kennedy movies.

I came to this show curious about the best known American dynasty. The presenters have a wonderful, playful dynamic while often handling the many tragedies of the Kennedy family. Tune in for history, humor, and great recommendations for books, podcasts and film related to the Kennedy family.

I love this podcast! I listened a ton this summer and fall and recently picked it back up - just finished the episode about Catholicism. I wrote my college history thesis about Irish American identity and focused heavily on the Kennedy’s being the turning point from when it went from being a shameful, lower class thing to be of Irish descent, to being “cool” to be Irish and to celebrate St Patrick’s day, etc. So this episode was ESPECIALLY interesting to me! Keep it up, these deep dives are fascinating.

I was skeptical about this series because I thought it would be the usual love/hate gossip about the Kennedy family. But I was impressed with several of episodes and how well the hosts dealt with the topics. Too bad it ended since there are many other things to cover.

when it comes to any media covering the Kennedy family, it seems to fall into two categories: vetted (or vying to be) by the Kennedy clan and given their attention in a positive way; or salacious gossip (generally but not always with very little basis in reality). This pretends to be the latter while falling firmly into the former. The glossing over of harm by the men in this family is particularly odious, followed closely by the ad count and duration. I hate listen and argue against the persistent Camelot propaganda, but the hosts seem to have little interest in talking to anyone with a less than sunny story to tell. Vastly disappointing.
