S01e07 RFK: The Assassination of John F. Kennedy

In this episode of the podcast, Ryan and Kevin talk about the assassination of JFK, its ripple effect across America, and its devastating personal impact on his brother, Bobby Kennedy. In order to better understand how the death of a President impacted the average American, we welcome our first guest on the pod, Sue, a woman who was a young student growing up in New Jersey the year JFK's assassination shocked the world. Sue also opens up about the Kennedys in general, living through the race riots in Newark, NJ, and participating in duck and cover drills in school during the height of the Cold War. It's an interesting conversation you definitely don't want to miss. 

Then, with JFK out of the picture and LBJ in the White House, an RFK in mourning is left to contemplate his role in a new presidential administration headed by a man with whom he shares a bitter hatred towards the other.
