I am a relative newcomer to the podcast, having only discovered it a handful of months ago. However, I have been fascinated and intrigued with the assassination of President Kennedy since my first visit to Dealey Plaza in the early 1970s. I was but a small boy then, but the story has gripped my mind to some extent ever since. Mr. Crudele, thank you so much for your tireless efforts to both educate and entertain your audience. I feel you do both rather admirably. I have gleaned some valuable nuggets whilst following along on your wanders. What’s more, I very much like your style. You seem like a very nice, very intelligent, and very diligent man. In a short time, I have voraciously consumed the vast majority of your past episodes. I now anxiously await each new offering! With the sincerest of hearts, I pray that God will richly bless you and yours.

I’m 45 years old. I have been fascinated by the JFK assassination dating back to 1985. Oliver Stone’s movie JFK was the next time I remember being curious about what happened in Dallas the day JFK was murdered. Fast forward to April of 2014. I went to Dallas to watch a Nascar race. There was one extra day in my trip because of rain postponing the race. I went to Dealey plaza to visit the 6th floor museum & finally as an result of really absorbing the presentation there and seeing the site with an adult perspective; I started to understand I knew very little about the times before and right after JFK was murdered. It’s the significance & the entirety of how complex this event was to American and world history that has led me to fact find and research as much information that I can consume about JFK to have a better understanding of todays world. I know I rambled above, but I did so to explain why the work & dedication that Jeff Crudele is doing by publishing this podcast is exceptional. I am current as of the time I am writing this review. I have found that Jeff explains and demonstrates the information in each episode smooth, concise, factually accurate, and informative. I do not sense or hear a bias in his presentation of the information. I highly recommend that you give this podcast a listen to get a foundational sense of the people, places, things, and events of the time surrounding JFK’s assassination. Jeff lets you the listener draw your own conclusions as if you’re a member of the jury. That’s important. We don’t have all the answers & there are still so many documents that haven’t been revealed to us, the general public. Jeff, along with so many others, that have already researched what has been published takes us through a very interesting journey telling this story. Jeff if you’re reading this, thank you for all you have done in this space & I appreciate your ability to create and share this podcast with the world.

You have everything wrong. Kerry Thornley was impersonating Oswald and went to Mexico City not LHO. You never mention Kerry in your recent videos, why? Jack Valenti and David Ferrie were the grassy knoll shooters. Jack Valenti is pictured escaping the scene after delivering the fatal headshot to President Kennedy by jumping onto the right running board of the SS car (see McIntire photo #2). It’s clear as day. Oswald never worked at the TSBD, he was also being impersonated by William Seymour, who is still alive today. Oswald was a patsy. There were multiple shooters in the TSBD. Their names are Lawrence Howard, Loran Hall, and Sergio Acacha Smith. Other shooters in Dealey plaza include Emilio Santana and David Yaraz. This is now public knowledge thanks to the work of Cory Hughes and Ryan Dawson. Hope this helps.

A great show. Really enjoy it. Jeff does a wonderful job.

I loved this podcast. Then in May the tone changed. I stayed with it for a while but more and more he’s turned this podcast into a political diatribe on modern politics. It is sad and damages the credibility of the author. I have no issue covering the past but using the past to make jabs that slant towards one’s political leanings in the present jeopardize the credibility of this podcast.

It seems rather pedestrian when others have moved into what actually happened, for you to dwell on the supremacist issue, which doesn’t figure in the work of Daniel Sheehan or Cory Hughes, who have been the two guys who have really lit this thing up recently. You’re devoting volume to something which doesn’t seem relevant. Nasty white guys couldn’t have set up the L-shaped ambush that killed Kennedy produced the prequel that pretty much made what happened later on difficult to discern and then figured in the cover-up that made it impossible to disclose for 60 years. Sorry about that.

This podcast dives deep into things that are involved with JFK if you don’t want to listen to all the details and actually learn something I suggest you go somewhere else. This podcast goes into everything which is what we should be doing painstakingly going through everything. Why not? We have time. Thank you Jeff for all your hard work and dedication. Welcome back Jeff!❤️

This has by far been one of the most comprehensive podcasts about the assassination, and it is free with no gimmicks or sales pitches!! Thank you so much for making it available to all and putting so much effort into covering all the surrounding history to help bring everything into context. There is no quick or simple answer to who killed JFK and why, that much has become clear to me. I truly missed your episodes every week, and have struggled to find a substitute. I’m so glad to know you are coming back! Erin

This podcast is an absolute treasure trove of information and a wide ranging analysis of the complex and confounding circumstances surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Where Jeff’s approach differs from many similar efforts is the amount of time he devotes to each subcategory related to that fateful day. Jeff takes listeners deep into each topic, lingering and “wandering” over each bizarre exhibit in the mysterious maddening “museum” of the assassination to examine context and offer a closer inspection, thoughtful deliberation and analysis. If you’re looking for some “quick-hit hot takes” and thunderous pronouncements, look elsewhere. Jeff is one of those rare finds of the modern world— a reasonable, rational gentleman with a healthy dose of skepticism and a willingness to replace ignorance with knowledge and the patience to assemble the most confounding puzzle of the 20th Century. Jeff’s voice and presentation offer listeners a friendly companion engaged in a quest to understand more about that fateful day, and he has essentially become a friend I haven’t met yet. If you haven’t cracked into the incredible volume of over 220+ episodes yet, grab a sandwich, a glass of lemonade or iced tea, and give it a whirl. Welcome back, Jeff! Looking eagerly forward to your next episode!

I’ve enjoyed this podcast thoroughly. I typically listen when I’m driving in long trips. I hope some new episodes are released before I catch up!

I listened to a few episodes and could not get past the terrible narration, mouse clicks, page rustling. “Solving JFK” is far superior, more engaging, and gets to the point.

I have to say, that while I’ve been listening for a couple of years and I really enjoy your podcast, your constant labeling of racist, communist, and socialist behavior as that of the radical right is desperately deceitful. All of those movements are rooted within the Democrat party and would be far more appropriately labeled as actions of the far left. Your constant use of the label radical right definitely smack of, if not revisionist history, then outright intentional deceit. It’s also ironic that while over the years you’ve outlined the overall involvement of government institutions in coups from murder to removal of Presidents that you don’t apply the same logic to our most recent history of the past 4-8 years. Anyway, enough of the criticism. I have really enjoyed the show. You’ve done an amazing job curating the details and exposing the multi faceted assassination, the multiple agencies, plans, opportunities, and motives involved in the assassination of JFK. Thank you for the great listen and history lesson. The review was almost 3 starts and would have been 5 if not for the intentionally misleading labeling of “far right” activity.

I wish this series had less insufferably-long setups, less “wanders”, no “further ados”, no “folks, you just can’t write this”, no more trips to make a sandwich. Just get to the point, state the facts and sign off until next time. I have to fast-forward through the above and listen on 1.5 speed. Just get to the point. Facepalm.

This podcast was amazing. The detail was incredible and insight captivating. That was when it was about the facts and down the middle. We've gotten into what seems like filler material and political leanings of the host. At halftime, this was the best JFK podcast, no,... best JFK library of information available. Those days are gone. The second half of this game doesn't have to fumble the audience away. Run the ball down the middle and stop forcing what isn't there and what we don't want to hear. 5 stars for the first 2/3 of the podcast, 1 star for the other third.

I started on episode 1 and have been working my way to current episode. It’s taking me some time but these podcasts are really good. I am almost there! If you want to go deep and I mean deep into the many alley ways of the JFK assassination then this is the podcast for you! There is lots of material here to take in so be prepared to take it in. You may need to go back and re-listen to an episode. Jeff has done a fantastic job at getting you into all the alley ways. You need to listen take it in and come to your conclusion. As he says “ you are the juror” ! I have enjoyed every episode! Plus his YouTube!

I’m up to episode 43 so far, so excellent. I’ve been obsessed with this story since I was a kid more or less just for its content. I think it’s evident there’s more to the story then we were ever left knowing and the story telling is extremely comprehensive and granular. Great job Jeff!

I have so much respect and gratitude for you and your comprehensive work. You give your audience credit for intelligence. The listener is encouraged to question and not take you as final authority. Please don’t stop setting the stage with the culture of the time. Your informative and enjoyable rambles help fill out the bigger picture. It’s part of what makes your podcast stand out from all the others. I like the YouTube videos with the multiple experts but prefer the podcasts. Less personality and more facts, maybe? I’m not sure. Big and - it’s a relief not to hear ads or be hit up for special memberships. Well, I don’t know about you, but I think it’s time for a sandwich. Thank you Jeff!

I was a student of the JFK assassination for a couple of decades but had not kept up on what happened with the Assassination Records Review Board or otherinvestigative official and otherwise. This podcast has brought me so much new information that I can hardly wait to listen to the next episode and have started reading books by some authors Jeff relies upon Thorough, easy to listen to, and totally engrossing. If this is a topic that interests you be sure to listen. Stephanie

I highly recommend listening to this. A massive amount of work with excellent contextualization, there are salient facts about what happened that I’ve never heard corroborated elsewhere, and they’ve been mentioned here along with references to search further on your own. Please keep digging into the clear and present existential danger presented by this form of religious terrorism. Jeff, keep in mind that nearly all mentions of this brings an attack by anonymous trolls that tend to be paid for to promote an agenda of silence on this topic. When things get stirred up you may be onto something.

Easily one of the best jfk podcasts out there. Jeff’s selfless hard work on this really shows. I find the complaints about pronunciations, wanders and recording quality petty and just not worth even noticing and troll-like.

You were the first rabbit hole I looked into and it has lead me fast and furious into how the results of that long ago event is Still shaping our destiny today. I am now ‘Awake’.

Jeff's very thorough and detailed accounts of the mechanics of the shooting quickly leaves no doubts that it was a conspiracy that was forcefully covered up. The big questions left are who was involved, and why would individuals hate the leader of our country so much they would want to exterminate him? I applaud Jeff for tackling the extensive topics of the history and social movements of the time to answer those questions. What a massive undertaking. This is NOT a whodunit episode of CSI. It is a presentation that gives me a much deeper understanding of how we got where we are now.

The majority of what I’ve listened to was very good. Then we start getting to some of the “far right Christian extremism” episodes and the host’s political views rear their ugly head. Like when you say you might have heard this rhetoric within the last 5 years when playing the tapes of a obviously racist man. Stick to the facts about the story and please try to keep your political views to yourself. It would make the podcast much more listenable if you didn’t just copy what we already hear in the mainstream media

I liked the podcast A LOT when it was about the JFK assassination.

Jeff digs deep, sometimes deeper than I’d like but he wants his jury to know everything. He’s never dull and there’s hardly any interruptions to distract you. He recently dove into the story of the presidential limousine and I didn’t realize that there was so much more of the highly questionable activities involved with the “investigation “ into its involvement in the assassination. After all, the vehicle could give up as much information of the shooting as the body does in an autopsy. What they did with the car was identical to what they did with the president’s body at Parkland. Jeff didn’t miss a thing on this chapter. I hope he continues his podcast for a long, long time.

I’ve enjoyed some of the episodes over the past few months, picking the topics that are of interest to me. The older episodes seem to be done “right down the middle,” and not from a slant or particular conspiracy angle. Things have changed, either due to having mined all the relevant data in JFK’s assassination or the podcaster deciding to pick a side. Very good production and the podcaster has both superb preparation and excellent voice for doing podcasts. It is past time to do the right thing and move on.

It has been fun listening to Jeff grow as a storyteller/podcaster.

I really became interested in the JFK story early on in 2023 and this is one of the best podcast out there covering the story. The host goes into great detail and leaves no some unturned. Keep up the great work!

I’m really getting a lot from this podcast. Very well-done and thorough. It is mostly well explained and digestible. I will be listening to the entire series probably more than once! I only have one thing that is bothering me while listening: the host pronounces the name Oswald as OsWELD about half the time and it causes me to miss a few words following because it’s a distraction (and a little perplexing, too). Mr. Crudele, The word ‘annals’ is most definitely not supposed to be pronounced like ANALS, yet you have done so on more than one occasion. Seriously, what is wrong with you?! You don’t understand that butchering hundreds of names, proper nouns, place names, etc. on your podcast is blatantly disrespectful to your audience? You have been called on this subject by many more than just this listener, yet seemingly you make no discernible effort to educate yourself on how to pronounce things. (You even have mispronounced the word ‘pronunciation’) Listening to your podcast is like going to a concert where the orchestra plays numerous out of tune notes, yet expects to be applauded at the end. Once again I ask, what is wrong with you?

I was rather enjoying the podcast until I discovered it is largely the host reading verbatim from Wikipedia articles.

President Kennedy’s assassination was before I was born, my parents were in the fifth grade when it happened. I’ve always been fascinated with history and this has been no exception. I’ve been binge listening for the last three days. Lots more to go.

The missing bullet held by the secret service came from the mistakingly discharged gun of the secret service agent in the car behind Kennedy. When the card took off fast he fell backward and shot his gun. It hit Kennedy

Lots of details but a bit too much wandering off topic. This is petty, but continuing pronouncing Oswald , “Osweld” drives me nuts!

I wanted to get into this podcast because the topic is compelling. This podcast feels like you are sitting in a college class, listening to the professor drone on and on…all the weird S whistles and mispronounced words and exact same tone in his voice made me shut this off real quick.

I had to give up. It just went on and on and on before any of the substance was presented.

Good info eventually. Too much we will get to that we will get to this we will talk about this we will answer that question. For the love of god get to the facts to the nuts and bolts. Way too much jibber jabber

Jeff, bravo! So meticulously researched and delivered. I am down the rabbit hole with you, and appreciate your time and dedication to this podcast.

So glad you’re covering Vince’s book “Survivor’s Guilt” and summarizing his great research and putting it in context! Your ability to put complex facts in rational order is uncanny, and as a broadcaster you have no equal. That’s why I’ve listened to 197 episodes and look forward to the next always.

The huge amount of work shows and is appreciated! Thank you!

It’s an odd podcast. There’s an enormous amount of information but no obvious analytical or interpretive framework that connects the myriad points. It’s hard to know where any of this going. Lots of trees, no forest.

Thanks Jeff for all the work to put this podcast together. Well done!

And I quote: “This particular episode was narrated by the notoriously conservative actor, Charlton Heston. Despite his own political leanings…” Quite disrespectful.

Love listening to this host. It’s like listening to your professor or kindly grandfather discuss the JFK assassination. There are SO many episodes- it has provided hours of content to binge while I work on my farm. Terrific

Nothing new since 11/25, more soon?

I have binged 150 episodes since I stumbled on this podcast. Pleasant narrator and very well done. Such a sad and pathetic chapter of American history with secrets still kept over sixty years later.

Very deep dive.

Most episodes are good. Some seem like filler. Prologues ramble on forever in some episodes. I’ve started to just skip past all the intro talk.

Been a keen listener since the beginning. Excellent. At first, I figured I was looking at maybe 50-60 total episodes for the complete story and analysis. Then thought it would wrap around 100. Now, at almost 200 episodes I’ve realized this story deserves, and Jeff probably has material for 500 episodes or more. And Jeff, that’s just fine by me! New listeners are in for a very special treat!

Each episode goes into excruciating details on individuals but never gets to the big reveal. It is the strangest podcast ever
