As researchers peer deeper and deeper into the JFK Records Act, startling and suspicious questions arise as to how the nation's national archives (NARA) handled record administration. Record administration that was handed over to NARA after the JFK record collection was turned over to them upon sunsetting of the ARRB. Even more startling, are the facts surrounding how certain CIA records in a sequestered collection might have been "managed" prior to the effective date of the...

In today's episode (which is one of 2 episodes covering this topic ), we begin by telling the story of KTBC Austin, the radio station snatched from the hands of Dr. Ulmer and JM West.

Hello listeners, I added a few interesting facts and made a few edits. So please do use this updated version of episode 282 and delete any prior downloads of this episode. Thanks again! Jeff
We are winding down our series on the Johnson inner circle. We have covered Billy Sol Estes, Bobby Baker, and Mac Wallace. One topic I promised to come back to was the fingerprint found inside the Texas Schoolbook Depository. The fingerprint that allegedly matches Mac Wallace. Today we tackle that issue with an action packed episode. If it was Mac Wallace's fingerprint, surely that leads to deeper ties that Johnson likely had with the assassination itself. All of these men w...
This is Part 15 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. It's also the final episode of the Bobby Baker series and the final episode on Don Reynolds.

He would commit fraud along the way to obtain financing for the hotel in a desperate moment after his partn...

This is Part 12 of the mini-series that covers the story of Bobby Baker. This mini-series is part of a larger series covering Billy Sol Estes, Mac Wallace, Bobby Baker and other members of Johnson's Texas inner circle. All of these men were quite intertwined around Johnson at the time of the assassination. They were involved in circumstances that were closing in on Johnson too and that provided him great motive in the killing of the President. The story is extraordinary. We began the story of...

question on the rifle supposedly ordered by oswald. why would oswald pick the carcano rifle when there were others that were better, considering he had to know that being in the marines?
even if the mob carried it out , can they lose the brain, change the autopsy pics, ans possibly the zapruder film. ?
This is a good podcast BUT he pronounces Oswald as Osweld a huge amount of the time. It's really annoying.
A lot of smoke in this episode
I hate when people lie about what kids say. A 2 year old didn't say that. 🙄
Were you getting too close to the truth Jeff? Send us a signal if you're okay 👍, This is the quintessential podcast on JFK, please don't leave us hanging!
Where are you Jeff Crudele? Haven't heard from you in a while -" hope you're OK.
Ashtabula, Ohio! You have to be kidding me. I'm from Ashtabula as well. Excellent podcast by the way.
Jeff, I have listened to all of your episodes up to #71, and I do appreciate and look forward to them. In past episodes you've mentioned that you're a stickler for accuracy, so I hope my criticism will be taken in the spirit it is given. The quote in episode 70, you attributed to Shakespeare , 'most men ... quiet desperation' was written by Henry David Thoreau. in another past episode you named some pioneer researchers, among them Sylvia Meagher. You pronounced her name 'May-Gar'. The correct pronunciation is Marr. I just received a copy of her book, Accessories After The Fact, and it is very worth the read so far. Please keep up your good work. I hope we both make it to the end. Respectfully, Jimmy
When's the next episode and how many total episodes are planned? Thank you!
