From JFK’s allegedly hat-less inauguration to Jackie’s pillbox hats, the Kennedys have always had a distinct style. But the type of fashion they’re most known for is the “classic” New England look you’re already picturing. In a word: Preppiness. We’r... more

  • Some good stuff here

    Don’t be out off by the giddiness of the first episode, things do settle down and there’s some interesting insights into the Kennedys. There’s been somd changes with hosts etc which I don’t mind, but I do object to the snide remarks about current politicians, Trump etc, it’s boring, it distracts from the subject for me. Stick with the Kennedys dynasty, they’re fascinating.

  • Hit and miss

    Some episodes are great but most episodes often go off topic. For example, the episode about William Kennedy Smith is more about cameras in court and televised trials than actually about him and the accusations.

  • Dreadful

    Besides the hosts inability to get to any kind of point, this is probably one of the most historically inaccurate history podcasts out there. It’s really just two people referencing their own ideas of who the Kennedys were to a wiki page. It’s painful to listen to. Oh and over half of the podcast is ads. So so bad
