Episode 158 is  the eighth  in a new series of episodes  that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in  New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw. Episode 158 is a wander that sets up the discussion related to the "Clinton" witnesses who saw Clay Shaw, David Ferrie and Oswald together in that town.

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.

An event that changed the nation and changed the world forever.

There is more information packed into those two summary episodes than I have provided in any previous set of  summary episodes produced for the podcast.  So jump right in, and lets get going...

Episode 153 is  the third  in a new series of episodes  that chronicle the story of the Garrison investigation in  New Orleans and the related trial of Clay Shaw.  This episode gives Garrison the floor in 1967, recorded at a lecture attended by a supportive audience.  He outlines his view (as the facts appeared to him at that moment)  of what happened in the assassination.  Few venues (including the 30 minute NBC rebuttal, which you also  will hear later in the series) offer such a relaxed forum without a time constraint. A forum that a rare and relaxed glimpse of Jim Garrison and his mindset during that period of time.  Jim  Garrison was the New Orleans district attorney and, a  result of his investigation into the murder of JFK, Clay Shaw was indicted  by a grand jury  and tried  on  conspiracy charges to assassinate the president. It was the only criminal trial ever conducted in the United States related to the president's murder.  Garrison's investigation and trial became the inspiration and partial basis for Oliver Stone's movie JFK. Today's episode introduces us to more Jim Garrison's thinking  as a precursor to understanding the details of the Clay Shaw trial and to help in our own understanding of the actions taken by Garrison and his thinking which shaped the events of the grand jury investigation and the subsequent trial. All of these elements are designed to, collectively,  help  you as the juror determine Garrison's proper place in the history of the JFK assassination story.

Episode 148 is the second of two episodes  in a two part series related to the CIA/Mafia plots to kill Castro. Plots  that were an integral part of the  the Bay of Pigs invasion.  Listen to this stunning story as Sheffield Edwards pitches the idea to use the mafia, and Richard Bissell buys into it.  And how they then use a "cut out" operative Robert Maheu to engage Johnny Roselli, a mafia don, to get the plot rolling.  Shortly thereafter, Sam Giancana and Santo Trafficante join the mission team.  The plot takes us to Miami, and to a classic scene that includes Frank Sinatra in the heyday of the exile movement in South Florida and the counter revolution that was mounting against Castro. Part two of this series completes this  part of the Castro assassination  plots in episode 149. The ongoing efforts to assassinate Castro as part of operation Mongoose and ZR Rifle will be addressed in later episodes. And, as a reminder, listen to another  bonus episode  in episode 150, as we bring you an epilogue that tells the tragic story and ending of Pepe San Roman.  Also included in episode 150 is an equally stunning  epilogue  related to the four United States  airmen who died at the Bay of Pigs,

This week on A Novel Console, Chris and Karradyne talk about AMC charging more for The Batman movie tickets, movies Chris has been watching and hating, and Karradyne’s big book haul from Brightlight Books. Karradyne then traipses through the briars when she reviews Patreon chosen Among the Beasts and Briars, and Chris barrel rolls through his #1 favorite game, Star Fox 64. They end the show with a listener suggested Gorbage review of Del Taco.

Hello and welcome back to Equity, TechCrunch’s venture capital-focused podcast, where we unpack the numbers behind the headlines.

We were a smaller team this week, with Natasha and Alex together with Grace and Chris to sort through a week that brought together both this quarter's earnings cycle, and the Q3 IPO rush. So, it was just a little busy!

Before we get to topics, however, a note that we are having a lot of fun recording these live on Twitter Spaces. We've found a hacky way to capture local audio and also share the chats live. So, hit us up on Twitter so you can hang out with us. It's fun - and we may even bring you up on stage to play guest host.

Ok, now, to the Great List of Subjects:

• Robinhood went public! Yep, at long last, it is done. The company priced at $38 per share, the low end of its range, and had a medium-weak day of trading once it started to float. In short, Robinhood seems to have deftly priced its IPO, leaving zero fat on the table. So, it is now richer than ever, and public. More here.
• Earnings! We took a moment to chat about earnings reports from Alphabet, and Microsoft, and Shopify. Why? Because we care lots about the cloud and platform companies. So, we took a minute to chat about public cloud results, and what Shopify got up to.
• Batteries! Tesla is moving towards iron-based batteries, and is looking to source other materials direct. At the same time battery recycling is raising lots of cash, and Nikola is Not Dead. We call it two truths and a lie.
• Unicorns and soon-to-be's: Contentful raised $175M at a $3B valuation from Tiger for its content delivery service, Squire, a barbershop tech platform, tripled its valuation (again) with Tiger Global (again), and Class squashed acquisition rumors with SoftBank Vision Fund II funding,
• More venture rounds! To cap off our venture roundup, two neat healthtech investments stood out, namely rounds from both Oova and Peppy. Both startups agree with the idea that hormonal health is a massive yet nascent opportunity. (We did an entire show about the imbalanced world of hormone startups if you're interested).
• We ended on a musical note, which lucky for you all, didn't include us singing: meet a quartet of early-stage music startups

This week on A Novel Console, Chris and Karradyne get stuck waiting for their tires to get fixed so they can go to the arcade. Chris talks about his Metal Slug obsession, and Karradyne discovers how polls get her interactions on Instagram. Then Karradyne and Chris relate to Catana Comics - Little Moments of Love and In Love & Pajamas. Chris talks about the underrated Star Fox Command on the Nintendo DS, and they finish up the episode by talking about Pollo Tropical. They wrap up the episode realizing they forgot to talk about the Godzilla vs. Kong trailer.

This week on A Novel Console, Karradyne is out with back pain, so Chris decides to take the opportunity to talk about Star Fox 64, and he will not shut up about it for 10 minutes straight.
