Kennedy Dynasty

The besties are back! Alyson and everyone’s favorite history teacher, Ryan Pryor, spend most of this episode catching up with each other after not recording for 4 months. They also share some of the CIA assassination attempts on Fidel Castro. But… it’s mostly banter. You’ve been warned.
