Who Killed JFK? For 60 years, we are still asking that question. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner teams up with award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien to tell the history of America’s greatest murder mystery. They interview CIA officials, medical experts, Pulitzer-prize winning journalists, eyewitnesses and a former Secret Service agent who, in 2023, came forward with groundbreaking new evidence. They dig deep into the layers of the 60-year-old question ‘Who Killed JFK?’, how that question has shaped America, and why it matters that we’re still asking it today.

Not a big fan of the Hosts outside this podcast, and barely can tolerate Rob Reiner but this pod cast leaves me wanting more. This is an excellent pod cast and wish they could dive deeper with more episodes. Great story telling

I was transported back to being dismissed from junior high school and seeing everyone on the public transportation crying. We weren’t told why we were being sent home, but when we boarded the bus and heard what had happened, it felt unreal. As an immigrant, naturalized that year at 13, I was struck with a deep sorrow. This podcast was better than any glossed over history lesson about this subject. Thank you.

There is a mountain of evidence and there are podcasts that spend episode after episode going over these details. This is a well narrated and entertaining explanation of one very possible theory behind who killed JFK. Doesn’t deep dive on the details but instead paints a convincing bigger picture of the event and the times leading up to it. It all happened before my time but I previously failed to appreciate the magnitude of the Cuban missile crisis and how the US response may have doomed JFK.

I really loved this podcast and each episode was pretty good and fun to listen to. It flowed well and it never got too confusing with the many threads they followed. I liked it and thought it was a nice and fresh way to approach the JFK assassination
BlockyCactus01 · Jul 2024
I can understand why Rob Reiner would do something like this, but shame on Soledad for taking part in it. It seriously undermines her credibility as a journalist.
I’m a big fan of JFK, and not a fan of the CIA. I’ve long been fascinated by this story and was well-disposed to believing in a conspiracy. I’ve read plenty of books on it, but having read Posner’s ‘Case Closed’ and Bugliosi’s ‘Reclaiming History,’ I had to come to the reluctant conclusion that all of these conspiracy theories have been debunked. Oswald acted alone. To ask “who benefited?” is the wrong way to look at something like this. You need to look at the facts. I know it’s hard to accept, but sometimes a beloved “somebody” gets taken out by a “nobody.”
