Kennedy, former White House correspondent Paul Brandus takes an in-depth look at the seemingly unconnected events that led to that infamous afternoon in Dallas, Texas. He explores the troubled and broken life of Kennedy’s killer, Lee Harvey Oswald, and challenges six decades worth of conspiracy theories—none of which have been proven.  Enjoy this trailer and subscribe to hear the first episode of Countdown to Dallas today in your favorite listening app or at EvergreenPodcasts.com Learn more about your ad choices.
