EPISODE 50 | The JFK Assassination (Big 'Uns 5)

Guest: Fred Litwin, author of On The Trail of Delusion: Jim Garrison: The Great Accuser

The JFK assassination is sort of a gateway drug for conspiracy theories, and boy there are lots of ideas about what happened that day in 1963. Fred Litwin once believed a lot of those theories, but has since changed his mind and is firmly in the lone gunman camp. For our 50th episode, we talk about why he thinks it was just Oswald, the Zapruder film, why Jim Garrison had it totally wrong and more.
