About this listen

In this special episode, we ask one deceptively simple question: What if JFK had lived?

Just days after the host was born in June 1968, Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. Raised by a loving adoptive family, he often wonders how the world—and maybe even his own life—might have turned out differently if John F. Kennedy had survived that fateful day in Dallas.

So today, we’re going back. In our thought experiment, Lee Harvey Oswald is stopped. The motorcade rolls on. JFK serves two full terms, and history takes a very different path.

Would Vietnam have happened the same way? Would Bobby have lived to become president? Does Nixon ever get elected? And what happens to civil rights, the moon landing, and the whole shape of the American century?

Join us as we imagine an alternate 1963—one where a single moment of silence changes everything.
