From arcade nostalgia to real-life stakes, listen now wherever you get podcasts.
This is how history gets distorted— unintentionally.
David Frum tells a powerful story about JFK’s assassination and Jacqueline Kennedy’s empathy for the wife of another victim that day.
There’s just one problem.
He says Lee Harvey Oswald killed a Secret Service agent.
He didn’t.
Oswald killed Dallas police officer J.D. Tippit about 45 minutes after the assassination. Tippit left behind a wife and three children.
And yes—Jacqueline Kennedy did reach out. She sent Tippit’s widow a handwritten note, saying the eternal flame at Arlington would burn for her husband as well.
The humanity of that gesture is real. The details, as Frum told them, are not.
This isn’t about bad faith. It’s about memory—how even well-informed people can reshape events over time without realizing it. And how audiences, hearing it confidently retold, absorb it as fact.
That’s how the record gets blurred.
A reminder of something I’ve learned after years of reporting and writing history:
Listener beware. Not everything you hear—even from influential voices—is true.
Hot take: I think the Zapruder film was altered and Kennedy was hit in the throat before the Stemmons freeway sign, there is an actual picture that corresponds with my claim.
Also I believe that Gayle Nix Jackson is really on to something . So props to her for fighting
A retired Air Force major general vanishes from Albuquerque with a revolver and deep knowledge of America’s most advanced defense systems. His case would soon be tied to a chilling pattern of missing or dead scientists #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
The Lead Masks Case gets darker in part 2: secret experiments, spiritist influence, and a ruined investigation that may hold the answer. #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
33 years after publication, Case Closed is #1 in 1960s U.S. History on Amazon Kindle.
Not something I take for granted.
Thank you to everyone reading, sharing, and continuing to engage with the facts.
What if reality is just a user interface designed by evolution? A bizarre experiment using lasers and DMT claims to reveal a hidden code behind the world we see. Glitch in the simulation… or brain on overload? #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
In the final chapter of Scole, séances turn into something stranger—self-developing film, sealed voices, and a black-eyed figure called “Blue.” Did they prove life after death… or open a door to something else? #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
This week, we return to the pitch-black depths of the Scole Experiment, where a powerless device in a sealed room allegedly produced voices from beyond for the most hardened of skeptics. Part 2 out now! #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
A quiet Norfolk farmhouse. A sealed cellar. Blue lights, powerless devices broadcasting voices, and technology allegedly designed by the dead. Our newest episode begins a 3-part deep dive into the infamous Scole Experiment. #AstonishingLegends#Podcast
“During the presidents autopsy, there was one general who was sitting in the gallery. It was a teaching morgue and we had a big gallery. I remember Curtis LeMay sitting there with a big
cigar in his hand”
Now what on earth is a 4 star genreal doing at JFKs autopsy?
Joe Rogan just said the quiet part out loud:
A man brought here as a baby. Lived in the U.S. for 20 years. Can’t speak Spanish. No criminal record. Deported anyway.
That’s not “border security.”
That’s ripping people out of the only country they’ve ever known and dumping them in a place that isn’t home.
