- Essential & Hopeful
From the misty banks of the Thames to the bracing breezes of Hyannis Port, thank you for your wonderful podcast. I have learnt so much about the man & his family, as well as the history & politics of his era.
I would love to hear more about Hyannis Port and the Kennedy compound in your podcasts.
One day I hope to visit your library and Hyannis Port.
In the meantime thank you again for keeping the spirit of JFK and all that is best in America, alive.

That was new to me. I don't know of a... more
