The Tales We Tell
A podcast about spooky stories, unsolved mysteries, and local lore. Join Hannah, Katy, and Jarek as they mask anxiety with humor, and explore the dark, macabre, and downright creepy side of life, with a different story each week.
The Tales We Tell
Ep. 82: JFK Assassination, pt. 2
Science is a bitch. This week, Hannah and Katy conclude the incredibly complex Kennedy assassination with scientific evidence, diagrams, a whole bunch of sketchy CIA shit, and two very convincing conspiracy theories. Find out why we should probably trust the science, no matter how disappointing it is, why you can’t claim not to have shot anybody when you definitely did shoot someone, and why it’s generally a good rule of thumb not to go around talking about planning to assassinate the president just in case the timing syncs up and someone actually does.
We crammed as much as we could into this one, so take notes, and draw your own conclusions!
