  • Mistakenly mention wrong book title/author

    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.”

  • It gets better!

    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

  • Honestly? I love it

    I came here from George’s other podcast Striaghtiolab, expecting this to be more comedy. It’s not but that’s okay - it’s great!! I’ve been gorging on this. They have knowledgeable legitimate guests and the hosts strike a good balance of informed but casual. It’s not a daunting research podcast because these topics have been exhausted anyways. This still manages to be fresh and it’s very approachable because they are fascinated themselves. I also really like that they cover all of the various Ken... 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.
