Outstanding Series!

Huge Kennedy enthusiast and this podcast is simply awesome! Great guests, rich history, and funny banter make this a truly exceptional listen. As someone who spends a lot of time in the car, this podcast makes the time fly by. I look forward to listening more and to future episodes. Great work, Alyson!

A wealth of information for all things Kennedy Family

I am currently in the process of listening to every episode from the first one in 2020 to the most current episode in March 2024. Alyson’s topics and presentation keep me interested and I anting to hear the next one. Her special guests add even more knowledge and interesting facts about this fascinating family. It’s a light hearted conversation between her and her listeners about who the Kenned family is and their story of influence in America over the last 100 years.
