    Marty and Brendan go all conspiracy-minded on you, with explorations into the new JFK assassination revelations and—of course—the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.


    For more on the Kennedy assassination, Marty recommends "What Jane Roman Said."

    For more on Whitey Bulger, Brendan recommends both "Black Mass," by Dick Lehr and the first season of the "Crimetown" podcast.
