JFK’s assassination 60 years later

 

LISTEN TO THE TRAILER HERE

NEW YORK, NY (November 1, 2023) – iHeartPodcasts, the No. 1 podcast publisher globally according to Podtrac, today announced an all-new 10-part podcast series, “Who Killed JFK?,” a historic deep dive into America’s greatest murder mystery, co-hosted by acclaimed filmmaker Rob Reiner and award-winning journalist Soledad O’Brien. Fans can listen to the trailer now, HERE

Premiering November 8th, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination, Reiner and O’Brien come together to interview CIA officials, medical experts, Pulitzer-prize winning journalists, eyewitnesses and a former Secret Service agent who, in 2023, came forward with groundbreaking new evidence. They also discuss their own theories of “who killed JFK,” how that question has shaped America, and why it matters that we’re still asking it today.

“Sixty years ago President John F. Kennedy was gunned down in broad daylight on the streets of Dallas. To this day, it remains the greatest murder mystery in U.S. history,” said Rob Reiner. “The American people deserve to know the truth of what happened on that fateful day. Who Killed J.F.K.? will take the listener on an evidenced based journey to reveal that truth.”

“Throughout the series, Rob and I revisit the 1960s, through pivotal moments like the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Vietnam War, and the Civil Rights Movement to shine a light on where the great American divide started and through the lens of Kennedy’s assassination, we can understand how we’ve reached the pinnacle of political divisiveness in America today,” said Soledad O’Brien.

"We are grateful to be partnering with Rob and Soledad on the release of this series which aims to bring to light new information surrounding a historical mystery that has been dissected for decades,” said Will Pearson, President, iHeartPodcasts. “Their passion and talent for storytelling drove their dedicated efforts to uncover the truth behind one of the best kept secrets of the last century, and we are looking forward to sharing this important story with a new generation."

Distributed by the iHeartPodcast Network, the first episode of “Who Killed JFK?” will be available on the iHeartRadio app and all major podcast platforms on Wednesday, November 8, 2023.

Listeners will get a front row seat to Grace's sometimes delightful, sometimes dysfunctional dates, as well as the crucial post-date debrief with her friends

Listen to the trailer now HERE

WHAT: Today, iHeartPodcasts and Novel announced the launch of brand-new weekly podcast, “28 Dates Later with Grace Campbell,” comedian and writer. Grace is tired of endlessly swiping through the same old dating app scene, going to the same bar round the corner so she can make a quick getaway. Enter the podcast, which will see her going on 28 dates across two months, only dating people who are the total opposite of her usual type.

Listeners will not only hear audio from the actual dates, but will also be given a ringside seat to the post-date debrief between Grace and her friends Roz and Dan. The pair do not give Grace an easy ride, dissecting her behavior with tough love.

"My goal isn't to necessarily find 'the one', but to learn more about myself and prepare for what I want out of the next phase in my life - my 30s,” said Host Grace Campbell. “Dating isn't easy, so I want this podcast to feel like you're having an honest conversation with your most reassuring best mate.”

On a mission to shake off the restraints of her 'type', Grace will encounter a whole range of potentials who challenge her pre-existing dating beliefs.

WHO: Known for her dark humor and outrageous one-liners, Host Grace Campbell has sold out iconic venues such as Alexandra Palace and the Clapham Grand (twice) with her most recent comedy tour 'A Show About Me(n)'. “28 Dates Later” will continue to showcase Grace's irreverent hot takes and the dead-pan tone she's known and loved for. “28 Dates Later” will also amplify what Grace does best - holding up a mirror to herself and ourselves.

WHEN:28 Dates Later” will premiere November 6 with new episodes released Mondays and Wednesdays.  

WHERE: “28 Dates Later” is distributed by iHeartPodcasts and available for listeners on the iHeartRadio app and everywhere podcasts are heard.

About Grace Campbell

A writer, producer, and comedian, Grace Campbell is a fast-rising star with a quick wit and a sharp tongue. An established stand up comedian, Grace has, over the last 5 years, built an audience of young women who relate to her astute observations of dating, politics, sex and men. Campbell holds a mirror up to society that can make some men uncomfortable and her irreverent, satirical takes make her one of the hottest comedy voices on stage, online, and on TV. As an author, in 2020 Grace released her book Amazing Disgrace, a book about “shame”, which was celebrated by Katherine Ryan as 'An outpouring of truth, wit, and beautiful comedic wisdom from the hilarious and laudably liberated Grace Campbell.’ In 2023 she took her show 'A Show About Me(n)' on a sell-out tour around the UK and Ireland, including Alexandra Palace and the Clapham Grand (twice!) and she is currently preparing to take it to the Soho Playhouse in New York. Grace's stand-up night 'The Disgraceful Club' was launched in 2019, and it has proved a breakaway success, currently holding a residency at The Clapham Grand. Grace intends to carry on making people laugh, while calling out the bullshit, and if her meteoric rise over the last few years is anything to go by, we believe she will - hilariously, shamelessly, disgracefully.

  • The new generation of Menudo got the party started on Saturday night at the Kaseya Center. The Miami-based boy band, consisting of Nicolas Calero (10), Ezra Gilmore (12), Gabriel Rossell (13), Andres Emilio (14) and Alejandro Querales (15) busted out all their moves while performing songs like "Mi Amore" and "Tu Y Yo," which will appear on their debut album.
  • Singer-songwriter GALE brought all kinds of sounds to Fiesta Latina. During her set, she picked up the guitar and joined her band as they performed her song "Problemas" off her recent album Lo Que No Te Dije, which was released back in May. She also performed her other hits like "Nuestra Cancion," "Inmadura" and more.
  • The party continued with Luis Figueroa. He had all the fans on their feet as he and his live band performed songs like his 2022 hit "Vienes." He also delivered other tracks like "La Luz," "A Escondidas," and "Bandido" from his recent EP Voy a Ti.
  • Fonseca kept fans on the dance floor with his exciting performance. With the help of his live band, the Colombian pop singer ignited the stage with his energetic performance of songs like "Eres Mi Sueño," "Vine a Buscarte," "Te Mando Flores" and "Si Tú Me Quieres."
  • Ricardo Montaner gave fans a break from all the dancing and serenaded them with some of his classics. The Venezuelan singer and his band swooned the audience with songs like "Besame," "Tan Enamorados" and an emotional performance of "Me Va a Extrañar."
  • Olga Tañón had everyone moving to her incredible vocals throughout her entire performance. She opened her set at Fiesta Latina with an illuminating rendition of "Mi Eterno Amor Secreto" alongside Flamenco singer Pitingo and a group of dancers with wings that lit up the stage. She continued by performing her other classics like "Presencie Tu Amor," "Como Olvidar," "La Gran Fiesta" and more.
  • Servando y Florentino had everyone dancing to their salsa hits. During their performance of "Yo Sin Ti," the Primera brothers noticed the members of Menudo in the crowd, who were holding up a Venezuelan flag. The boys gave Florentino the flag and he waived it in the air as a tribute to his country. They went on to perform “Un Amor Como El Nuestro,” “No Importa” and more.
  • Yandel had everyone moving to all of his past and current hits. The Puerto Rican reggaetónero performed classic Wisin Y Yandel jams like "Mirala Bien," "Rakata," "Pam Pam," "Pegao," "Mayor Que Yo," "Travesuras" and plenty more. He couldn't leave without singing his latest hits "Borracho y Loco" and "150."
