S2E2: Young JFK, A Playboy in the Making

Cassie and Bethany
About this episode

"Let’s take a trip to America’s golden age… to the home of the wealthiest family in the nation—they lived so far above society that the children didn’t even know about the Great Depression until they went to college at Harvard though they lived through it themselves. Their childhood was spent on yachts between movie stars and politicians, but despite all they have, one of those boys might be dead before he even reaches adulthood. Maybe that’s where the infamous playboy persona of the future President began… but above all of the glamour, above all of the adversity… Family loyalty reigns superior. Or at least that’s what his dad told him…" This is the true story of the infamous American royal family… the Kennedy family. Joe, Rose, Joe Jr., John or Jack or JFK if you will, Rosemary, Kathleen (Kick), Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Patricia (Pat) Kennedy Lawford, Robert or Bobby or RFK if you will, Jean, and Edward, or Ted (Teddy)… we’ve read all the biographies, watched all the documentaries... here is everything you need to know, complete with all the juicy details.  If you have not listened to last week's Kennedy Family Meeting Episode (or you want to leave us a rating and review!), you can do so on:
