Solving JFK
Solving JFK examines each issue in the JFK Assassination by looking at the arguments from both those who believe Oswald acted alone and those who believe there was a conspiracy to kill president Kennedy. Host Matt Crumpton analyzes each tree in the forest and then zooms out to look at the big picture. Objective truth is the paramount goal of the podcast, with every factual proposition cited. In season one, we look at whether the Warren Report got it right that Lee Harvey Oswald was the lone assassin, and if not, what the open questions are that still need to be resolved.

Recap & Rebuttals Part 3 (Episodes 13-19) Featuring Jeff Crudele from JFK: The Enduring Secret
In this third recap and rebuttals episode, we review the seven episodes that were dedicated to the medical evidence, with an emphasis on the different observations at Parkland Hospital v. Bethesda Navy Medical Center. The 5 questions we answer are: whether the single bullet theory was correct, whether CE 399 was the single bullet, whether the Zapruder film was altered, whether the autopsy photos and x-rays showed the president's body in the same condition that he left Parkland Hospital in, and whether Kennedy's fatal head wound was from a shot from the back, the front, or both.
