Hey Jeff, i have to tell you i just binge listened to the entire podcast in a week or two. I fly a waterbomber in the far north this time of year so lots of free time! I listen to a lot of audiobooks and i find your narration style and delivery to be excellent. Ive read so many books on this topic and at times it’s a vortex of information and characters. The claims and counter claims etc, it can be hard to put together all the events in one’s mind. I find your podcast format and the sectioning of topics as you have done as a great way to clearly lay out the story. Really really well done! The posting of the actual audio interviews is great! Im almost sad to be at the end of the binge listen. Cant wait for more episodes. I’m curious why the mention of Ralph Yarborough potentially seeing Gordon Arnold dive on to the ground was left out of the discussion. Something always seemed off about the Arnold interview to me. I hope you do an episode on some of the external odd characters such George de Mohrenschildt and Ruth Paine. Ive also always wondered if people have explored Dealy Plaza with metal detectors, say way over even behind the overpass to see if they could find fragments of the Tague bullet? Once again, great work youre doing. I also listed to the podcast episode about your son. Its admirable that you are out there to help people in this regard. All the best from the North West Territories Canada.
Hi Lorne,
Really appreciate your kind comments and thanks for sharing your background which is an amazing life experience all in itself. Perhaps you should consider doing a podcast! Yes the Yarborough mention of what ostensibly must have been Arnold is interesting because of the clear credibility that someone such as senator Yarborough brings to the conversation. I was aware of that fact at the time that I did the Arnold episode, and it was notable to me then, so I am not sure why I would have left it out…sometimes its just fatigue…you finally have to stop and publish…especially since I have averaged about one episode a week since inception. Will definitely do more on George DeM…and Ruth Payne before the series is over. Regarding George DeM…I recently re-read his unpublished manuscript and plan on incluidng a reading of it (at least a portion) in the series on him. Fascinating.
Stay safe and stay listening to the podcast…I just published 108 this morning

Thanks for all you do, Jeff, a most objective and concise synopsis of LHO’s life. I really found those WDSU clips interesting, although Oswald apparently wasn’t truthful about several aspects of his resume, like being a Sergeant in the Marines. I was also in the Marine Air Wing but over 20 years later. Thanks again, I look forward to your next installment. John
Hi John,
Thanks for those nice comments. I am glad that you are enjoying the podcast! I really like those WDSU clips too as there is so little in the form of Oswald on audio and that really does at least put him in somewhat a different light versus what many might say about him regarding his intelligence or at least intellectual curiosity on certain subjects. Please do keep listening and look forward to hearing from you in the future!

You are trying hard to be entertaining, appreciate that ! What I would love is if you can get someone who knows what they are doing as far as sound goes ? What I mean is the recordings have wild swings from x db to y db (decibels) . You need to “normalize” the recordings, so that I am not constantly changing the volume to ether A ,make out what you are saying or B , yanking off the headphones as to not further damage my hearing (you already have dinged me a bunch of times ! ) . This is especially true of episodes that have old recordings in them, you have such wild swings in volumes that I am surprised you literally haven’t been sued !
Sorry Ray…I know its a problem and I do need to address the swings in volume…appreciate you reminding me….
Hi Jeff,
Just listed to the episode where you read the Jfk autopsy report, not my cup of tea but you did a great job on a lot of difficult medical words ! The word amazingly, you can’t pronounce seems to be , CENTimeter, it’s not Sauntei-meter ! You did it over… and over .. and over… so no slip of the tongue !
Did you really ask for “50 Sauntes” from your mom or dad growing up ? I mean I just don’t understand how this could happen except, in a comedy podcast, which this was the furthest from !
Don’t know any part of the country that would ever pronounce it as saunteimeter, now you do say fill when you mean to say feel all the time, but that is normal for the south, but not “saunte” for cent ! Hope to hear you went back and re-recorded that episode, just for your prides sake.
Hi Sorry Ray…I have been in the medical business for over 30 years and the doctors all pronounce it that way…probably would not have been exposed to that pronunciation unless I had been around doctors most of life…its sounds weird I know…
