Ep. 81: JFK Assassination, pt. 1

On November 22, 1963, while the world watched, John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, TX by a “lone” gunman. Two days later, his alleged killer was shot dead on live TV. This week, Hannah and Katy dive into the world of conspiracy theories, starting with one of the biggest mysteries in American history: who killed JFK? This one is full of LOTS of history, tattoo anecdotes, and wild speculations that just might make you a believer. We’re barely scratching the surface, but setting the stage for a dramatic conclusion next week! 

Pour your drink (correctly, unlike Hannah) and take notes for this week’s episode!
