An excellent podcast

I love this podcast. Well-packaged and well-presented, each episode transports you back in time to another era. The program format provides the listener with a sense of news “as it happened”. I’m a student of history and I love the 1960s, but I have picked up numerous fascinating tidbits that I never knew. I highly recommend Real Time 1960’s.

Special Report / November 22, 1963 - Kennedy Assassinated
