We’re finally going back to where it all began. Joe Kennedy — father to the nine Kennedy children — was a banker, a real estate baron, a liquor magnate, a Hollywood producer, a Washington insider, the first ever chair of the SEC, and the disgraced am... more

Eunice was the fifth of Joseph and Rose Kennedy’s nine children. While she’s perhaps best known as the founder of the Special Olympics, that was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of her lifelong commitment to public service and disability rights. ... more

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 fasc... more
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).

I like the recaps of movies and the first few episodes where you actually address historical moments but that’s about it like idk it lacks focus it feels like you want to refer to modern times too often.

In the repeat episode on December 15, they mentioned a book supposedly called “happily ever after“ by Candace Bergen. There is no such book. I think they were referring to the book by Elizabeth Beller called “Once Upon a Time.”
Shaky start with the first few episodes as the limits of the hosts own knowledge of their subject and their very specific generational cultural references (the Olsen Twins?) strike a listener who doesn’t share them as bafflingly inconsequential, BUT the guests are mostly really good - geniunely well-informed, serious journalists and historians. By the time George is hosting solo (and has more research under his belt) the episodes are much more satisfying and contain real insights and illuminatio... more
