Episode 195 is the sixth in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Today's episode begins  our coverage of each of the individuals in the white house detail who were in Dallas that fateful day.  We tell the story today of Agent  Roy Kellerman, who was nominally in charge in Dallas during the trip . He sat in the front right seat of the president's limousine as they made their way in the motorcade. Delving deeper into the individuals involved in the President's protection  is for the purpose of solving the perplexing  question of how men generally so loyal to the President, might have motivations to act otherwise. It is the seminal question regarding the inner workings of the secret service and their true orientation to President Kennedy. The inner  workings of the Secret Service are just that...they are secret...and not much has been said by the agents outside of the official agency position.... since the assassination, but at least one man Vince Palamara is widely considered to be the resident expert on how the Secret Service figures into the assassination story.  Mr. Palamara has done more original research on this topic than  anyone else.  Others have done extensive research including Doug Horne. So this series of episodes will give us a chance to better understand this often over looked aspect of the assassination story.  

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Every boomer was gutted and then rocked by the tragedy of JFK’s assassination followed by the joy of The Beatles’ arrival at the airport named in his honor. Both topics continue to resonate. Today on the show, broadcasting pioneer and JFK assassination historian John Barbour joins us to discuss his latest film, John Barbour & William Shakespeare’s Last Word On The Murder of JFK. And Breakfast With The Beatles Host Chris Carter is with us to talk about his live appearances and The Beatles’ return to the charts!

Emmy Winning writer/host/comedian/director John Barbour has been studying JFK’s assassination since he first picked up Mark Lane’s book, Rush To Judgement. John has extensively interviewed New Orleans D.A. Jim Garrison, who prosecuted alleged conspirator Clay Shaw and inspired Oliver Stone’s groundbreaking film JFK. John’s richly researched assassination documentaries soon followed. His third will be screened on November 22nd, the 60th anniversary of the assassination, at the Laemmle Encino Town Center.

Breakfast With The Beatles host Chris Carter is a founding member of the 80s alternative band Dramarama, known for the iconic 1986 single, Anything, Anything (I’ll Give You). He joins us to talk Beatles. With our attention now so diversified there will never be another band as popular, inspiring and influential. Chris is celebrating 40 years of broadcasting BWTB (now available five days a week on Sirius XM and Sundays on KLOS) with live broadcast events around Los Angeles. 

Chris shares his playlist programming process and discusses the challenges of doing justice to the most well known foursome in the world and their devoted fans. You can test your own Beatles knowledge as Chris reveals fascinating facts plus his insights into the relationships between the bandmates, his thoughts on what it was like to become world famous while still so young, and why the Beatles have fans of every age from every generation. And Chris shares intriguing background on the creation of the new hit song, Now and Then. We also take a tangential trip into music docs (including Chris's Rodney Bingenheimer film, Mayor of the Sunset Strip).

Episode 194 is the fifth in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Today's episode begins to cover the  perplexing question of how men generally so loyal to the President, might have motivations to act otherwise. It is the seminal question regarding the inner workings of the secret service and their true orientation to President Kennedy. Getting a look inside, requires locating someone who has disavowed the idea of keeping secret  of the dirty laundry that may have existed within the secret service in that era. Sadly and perhaps ironically, the story must be told by the first black secret service agent ever to be chosen for duty on the Secret Service White House detail. That man was Abraham Bolden. His story is an extraordinary one and in today's episode we hear from Mr. Bolden himself on this very topic of  what was really  "underneath the covers when it comes to the Secret Service's  true orientation toward President Kennedy. The inner  workings of the Secret Service are just that...they are secret...and not much has been said by the agents outside of the official agency position.... since the assassination, but at least one man Vince Palamara is widely considered to be the resident expert on how the Secret Service figures into the assassination story.  Mr. Palamara has done more original research on this topic than  anyone else.  Others have done extensive research including Doug Horne. So this series of episodes will give us a chance to better understand this often over looked aspect of the assassination story.  But today, we listen to an iconic figure who holds the key to our further understanding of what happened with the secret service on that November day in 1963 . While today's episode is not a thorough exploration of Mr. Bolden's own story, it serves as a backdrop to many upcoming episodes in this mini-series. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.  No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 193 is the fourth in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup, or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Today's episode covers the next section of chapter 8 and a portion of Chapter 2 in the Warren Commission Report dealing with advance planning and preparation undertaken by the Secret Service  prior to the president's trip to Texas.  Chapter 8 generally addresses the Secret Service role in protecting the president and pertinent facts around their conduct in Dallas. After today, our upcoming episodes in the wander turn away from the official report on the Secret Service,  to the investigative research by Vince Palamara, Douglas Horne and others. So stay tuned.  Recent events, including the pending publication of the book by former Secret Service agent  Paul Landis, have given rise to renewed interest in this topic. Mr. Landis is  88 years old and he was an agent who  was there in Dallas on November 22nd, and  he participated in the motorcade protection. He now  claims to be the person who left  the bullet on the stretcher at Parkland.  And on President Kennedy's stretcher, no less. His claims  have sparked a great deal of renewed debate about the magic bullet and the  shooters in the plaza, but rather than evaluate Mr. Landis' claim at this time,  we are using this period of renewed interest to reassess the role of the secret service overall in the assassination story. It is no secret that there was a massive failure of protection by the Secret Service which contributed heavily to the death of the President. But the seminal question of whether this was poor planning , or poor performance,  versus something more sinister, have never been fully resolved. The inner  workings of the Secret Service are just that...they are secret...and not much has been said by the agents outside of the official agency position.... since the assassination, but at least one man Vince Palamara is widely considered to be the resident expert on how the Secret Service figures into the assassination story.  Mr. Palamara has done more original research on this topic than  anyone else.  Others have done extensive research including Doug Horne. So this series of episodes will give us a chance to better understand this often over looked aspect of the assassination story.

Episode 192 is the third in a mini- series wander covering the Secret Service and their possible involvement in the coverup or the  actual plot itself to assassinate President Kennedy. Today's episode covers the next section of chapter 8 in the Warren Commission Report dealing with what the Secret Service and the FBI knew about Oswald prior to the assassination.  Chapter 8 generally addresses the Secret Service role in protecting the president and pertinent facts around their conduct in Dallas. Recent events, including the pending publication of the book by former Secret Service agent  Paul Landis, have given rise to renewed interest in this topic.

Episode 189 is the second and last in a two part mini- series wander covering the Reverend Raymond Broshears. In today's final mini-series "wander" episode, we present Broshears' taped audio deposition that he gave to the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA).  Broshears was one of the most bizarre witnesses that surfaced during the Garrison investigation. He met David Ferrie in New Orleans and became rather good friends with him.  They were sexual partners as well.  According to the story that  the good Reverend told back in the day, Ferrie confided in Broshears after the fact,  regarding his involvement in the  assassination plot to kill the president, with Ferrie participating  as the pilot who was to fly two of the assassins out of the country. The two men were purportedly  the shooters who were situated on the Grassy Knoll. The assassins changed the plan and apparently escaped by others means, thereby eliminating the need for Ferrie to fly them out of the country. Broshears  was a homosexual  who was also an ordained minister. Among his many notable notable assertions,  he claimed to have had sex with Lee Harvey Oswald.  After a sordid period of his life in which he was charged with sex crimes involving a minor, he would make his way to New Orleans and begin a tail that you will hear in these two episodes and capped off by today's rendering of his  testimony to the House Select Committee on Assassinations which occurred some ten years after his interviews with the Garrison team. After 1965, he moved to  California in search of a new start in his life,  and ended up as a rather controversial figure out there.  Broshears appeared on a local  Southern California television show, where he revealed the startling fact that he knew Ferrie and he told the story rather matter of factly  to the television audience regarding what Ferrie told him of his involvement in the assassination.  The show happened to be watched by a Garrison investigator living in the area, and Garrison and his team immediately moved to interview Broshears.  Four interviews were conducted, including two which took place in New Orleans. However, Garrison and his team, while they believed Broshears was telling the truth about the basic facts related to Ferrie, declined to use him in the Clay Shaw trial. Listen to these two episodes combined , and I think you will understand why. Even so, he is an important part of the history of the investigation, and we leave it up to you as a juror to determine which parts of his testimony may be credible. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission.

Episode 182 tells the story of Gordon Novel. After winning Jim Garrison's confidence and becoming his security officer during the district attorney's investigation of the JFK assassination, it would soon become known that Novel was working for the CIA and had infiltrated Garrison's team. Garrison would eventually come to understand this double cross and seek to extradite Novel, who eventually fled to Ohio to avoid extradition by Garrison. Garrison knew that Novel had participated in the Houma raid and he wanted answers as he believed that Novel knew much more about that actual assassination than he was admitting. With the truth revealed that Novel was working for the CIA when he infiltrated Garrsion's team,  Garrison himself became even more resolute in his thinking that the CIA was either involved or  was covering up something very sinister as it related to the assassination. Novel as a character is one of the most fascinating individuals in this passion play that we call the Kennedy assassination.  In later years, he was involved in Watergate, the post Waco investigation and the related review of the FBI's performance there, and of all things, his private investigative work helped John DeLorean discover the presence of a sting operation that was contrived to entrap him.  A sting operation that proved to be a conspiracy between Britain's Conservative Party and both British and American intelligence services. Novel was a believer in extraterrestrial beings and technology, and asserted that the government, based on its capture of an alien spacecraft,  had reversed engineered the ability to generate limitless energy that could be made available on a widespread basis to all of mankind,  and thereby significantly reduce global warming and create an economic system that would free the world of the geopolitical dynamics related to energy.  He also consulted with  celebrities such as  Michael Jackson and Jean Claude Van Damme regarding security issues. Come join us for the wild and wacky story of Gordon Novel. 

Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 178 is the first in a two part series covering Charles I. Spiesel, the zany accountant from New York who testified at the Clay Shaw Trial. This is a classic story of a witness that began with all the potential to sink Clay Shaw.  Professional and articulate on the stand, his testimony for the prosecution was clear and convincing. But it only lasted for a few minutes, as he was destroyed upon cross examination by Irvin Dymond the defense attorney for Clay Shaw.  This story is so bizarre that we won't even try to reveal it in this narrative. You will have to listen to the episode. Some say that if there was only one prosecution witness who destroyed the case, it would be Charles Spiesel. Yet another moment where fact is stranger than fiction in the case of the JFK assassination. Come join us for one of the most interesting story tells related to the Garrison investigation and the Clay Shaw trial.

Episode 177  is the third  in a mini series covering Dean A. Andrews, Jr. the flamboyant jive talking New Orleans attorney that is so aptly portrayed by John Candy in the movie JFK.  Today's Episode recreates his entire June 28th, 1967  testimony in front of the Orleans Grand Jury.  Testimony that flatly contradicted what he told the Warren Commission.  By this time,  Andrews had already been charged with perjury and gave additional testimony that would result in additional perjury charges this day. 
The story of Dean Andrews begins with him, sick in a hospital bed, having received a phone call  the  day after President Kennedy  was assassinated.  The mysterious caller who identified himself as Clay Bertrand asked Andrews if he would go to Dallas and represent Lee Harvey Oswald in the murder case related to the assassination.  Oswald was murdered the next day making his representation moot. Bertrand never surfaced again. Coincidentally, Andrews had interacted with Oswald in the summer of 1963 after Oswald had come to him for legal help associated with his marine corp discharge status, his own citizenship status and that of his wife Marina. Andrews would relay this strange call to the  FBI and the Secret Service on the Monday following the assassination and the inquiry was swift but Bertrand could not be identified or located. The matter was investigated but  was dropped by the authorities until Jim Garrison and his team ran across the reference to Dean Andrews in the Warren Report as Garrison's investigation of the Kennedy assassination was resurrected during late 1966.  While Dean Andrews was a friend of Garrison's and an assistant D.A. as well in nearby Jefferson parish, Garrison soon became convinced that Clay Bertrand was really Clay Shaw, a prominent local new Orleans businessman.  Despite extensive prodding, Dean Andrews refused to identify Clay Shaw as the Clay Bertrand who called Andrews the day after the assassination.  Andrews was called to testify in 1967 before the Orleans Grand Jury and his refusal to identify Clay Shaw along with his material inconsistency of testimony under oath...when compared to his Warren Commission testimony taken under oath, ultimately rewarded him with 11 counts of perjury. Some people say that he was the lynch pin of the case against Clay Shaw but ironically he ended up as a called witness for the defense. Was he telling the truth when Garrison claims that stated he would be a dead man if he made the connection under oath...or did he make the name up from the very beginning in a quest to chase fame and fortune. Come listen to another gripping set of episodes in this new mini-series covering one of the most fascinating and important characters in the story of the JFK assassination, Jim Garrison's  investigation and the Clay Shaw Trial.

The matter was investigated but  was dropped by the authorities until Jim Garrison and his team ran across the reference to Dean Andrews in the Warren Report as Garrison's investigation of the Kennedy assassination was resurrected during late 1966.  While Dean Andrews was a friend of Garrison's and an assistant D.A. as well in nearby Jefferson parish, Garrison soon became convinced that Clay Bertrand was really Clay Shaw, a prominent local new Orleans businessman.  Despite extensive prodding, Dean Andrews refused to identify Clay Shaw as the Clay Bertrand who called Andrews the day after the assassination.  Andrews was called to testify in 1967 before the Orleans Grand Jury and his refusal to identify Clay Shaw along with his material inconsistency of testimony under oath...when compared to his Warren Commission testimony taken under oath, ultimately rewarded him with 11 counts of perjury. Some people say that he was the lynch pin of the case against Clay Shaw but ironically he ended up as a called witness for the defense. Was he telling the truth when Garrison claims that stated he would be a dead man if he made the connection under oath...or did he make the name up from the very beginning in a quest to chase fame and fortune. Come listen to another gripping set of episodes in this new mini-series covering one of the most fascinating and important characters in the story of the JFK assassination, Jim Garrison's  investigation and the Clay Shaw Trial.


 Even as early as 1964, rumors and serious concerns over  the lone gunman theory and the evidence that might contravene it,  were becoming a major concern for the government and the commission. Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction. No matter whether you are a serious researcher or a casual student, you will enjoy the fact filled narrative and story as  we relive one of the most shocking moments in American History. An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

Episode 173  is the story of the 2nd polygraph test taken by Perry Russo. Jim Garrison and his team, concerned that the results of the first polygraph test administered to Perry Russo would be made public on national television as part of Walter Sheridan's NBC White Paper documentary, scrambled to have a second polygraph administered that would reinforce the veracity and confirm the truth of Perry Russo's statements to be made at trial.  More specifically, that Russo was present at the assassination plot party which took place at David Ferrie's apartment  which was an event that Clay Shaw was present for and participated in...and that a man named Leon Oswald was present and that is one and the same as Lee Harvey Oswald. Oh, and that Clem Bertrand is one and the same as Clay Shaw.  Unfortunately, the test was cut short and it led to a private conversation between Russo and Ed O'Donnell the polygraph operator and a sergeant on the New Orleans police force.  O'Donnell would tell Garrison and members of his staff what Russo had privately relayed to O'Donnell after the polygraph machine was turned off....that Russo could not definitively say that  Clay Shaw had been at the party that night and participated in the assassination  meeting.  Later,  O'Donnell would make the decision to reveal this information publicly going against Garrison as Garrison ignored what O'Donnell had revealed to him about the conversation with Russo.  Several weeks into the Clay Shaw trial, O'Donnell would make the decision to  testify on behalf of the defense, an unusual matriculation of events in the case.  Some critics say that O'Donnell was a foe of Garrison's and that impacted what happened here. Others say it was just one more example of Garrison's disregard for the truth in his quest to bring the case to trial.

Conspiracy theories were contrary to the government's stated narrative from the very beginning. This  real-life story is more fascinating than fiction.

Episode 165 is  the fifteenth in a new series of episodes that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in  New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw.  Today's episode features the audio from Jim Garrison's nationally televised rebuttal of the  NBC Whitepaper on the Garrison Investigation. While the NBC  White Paper shed some light on many controversial aspects of the investigation, there was a clear bias contained in the programming. Outraged, Jim Garrison appealed to the FCC and, under the "then existing fairness doctrine",  he was granted 30 minutes of prime time on NBC to rebut the case.  Garrison used the rebuttal to make his bigger than life case about the  true forces behind the  Kennedy assassination, but avoided addressing the specific allegations about his investigation that were leveled during NBC's program.  The NBC White Paper aired on June 19th, 1967,  and Garrison's rebuttal came within weeks. The NBC White Paper was  a major blow to Garrison and his team.  On the surface, this prime  time television special  was an attempt by NBC to address the controversial aspects of the Garrison investigation, which had already resulted in the arrest  of Clay Shaw on March 1st, 1967. Shaw was subsequently  indicted, after a preliminary hearing and a grand jury proceeding,  under the  charge of conspiracy to murder President Kennedy. One of the principal forces behind  the NBC White Paper  was  Walter Sheridan  and his  ultimate objective was to discredit the investigation overall. NBC attacked  the rather flimsy evidence that Garrison's team presented in a preliminary hearing...evidence used to justify arresting  Clay Shaw. NBC also  addressed  what appeared to be dubious methods applied by the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office  to obtain testimony from key witnesses. Finally they would attempt to refute that Clay Shaw was Clay Bertrand resulting  in an embarrassing faux pas by the network  that backfired. Many of the so called witnesses featured in the NBC White Paper were subsequently summoned to testify in front of the Orleans Parish Grand Jury and repeat their statements under oath. Playing hardball, Garrison used this tool to test whether   the statements made on the NBC TV special were truthful.  Several of the witnesses appearing on the NBC program refused to answer such questions before the grand jury, citing their right to avoid self incrimination.
