    J. Gary Shaw and Brian Edwards recently published, Admitted Assassin: Roscoe White and the Murder of President Kennedy.

    This podcast discusses the results of their research.

    Brian Edwards has been researching the JFK assassination since 1969 and has interviewed many of the Dealey Plaza eyewitnesses; Dallas police and sheriff’s officers; Parkland doctors and medical personnel who were on duty at Bethesda Medical Center. He has given hundreds of presentations on the assassination and since 2001 was a regular presenter at the JFK Lancer Conference

    Mr. Edwards has extensive Law Enforcement Experience with the Lawrence Kansas Police Department, as a field training officer, accident investigator, counter-assault team, and instructor in the police academy.

    Edward’s research has been cited in numerous books, including Assassination Science (1998); Murder in Dealey Plaza (2000); The Zapruder Film (2003) and The Hoax of the Century (2004). He is co-author of Beyond the Fence Line: The Eyewitness Account of Ed Hoffman and the Murder of President John Kennedy.

    In 2018, Mr. Edwards collaborated with and appeared in Oliver Stone’s 4-hour documentary JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass.

    J. Gary Shaw is a first-generation assassination researcher and one of the leading experts on the case. Shaw began studying the case the day after it happened.

    In high school, Shaw met Jack Ruby who asked Shaw’s group to join the artist’s guild in Dallas.

    After Ruby shot Lee Oswald in the basement of police headquarters, Shaw began collecting every newspaper, magazine and book on the case.

    Shaw met Penn Jones, Jr. After reading Penn’s Forgive My Grief, Shaw bought two complete sets of the 26 volumes of the Warren Commission report. Shaw maintained a close relationship with Jones.

    Shaw began interviewing individuals directly connected to the case; Dallas Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig, Richard Carr, Gerry Hemming, Loran Hall and many others.

    In 1976, Shaw and Larry Ray Harris (1952-1996) published Cover-Up: The Governmental Conspiracy to Conceal the Facts About the Public Execution of John Kennedy.

  • The Woman Who Warned: Rose Cherami Predicts the Assassination of JFK
    Jul 21 2024

    DR. MICHAEL MARCADES is the son of Rose Cherami, aka Melba Christine Youngblood Marcades. You have seen an incident in the early stages of Oliver Stone’s film, JFK, with a delirious woman in a hospital bed sharing information about the impending assassination attempt on President Kennedy, BEFORE it happened.

    Dr. Michael Marcades heard of the JFK assassination at school and all students were sent home. For as long as Michael could remember, his mother, often referred to as Crit by family members, was a mysterious, purportedly troubled person, incapable of raising him full-time. A few years before her young son entered first grade, Crit asked that her mama and papa rescue Michael from her dangerous lifestyle. Tom and Minnie Youngblood became Michael's legal guardians. After that, Michael seldom saw his mother.

    On September 4, 1965 -- Michael's mother was murdered under cover of darkness. She breathed her last in a tiny, mob-affiliated East Texas hospital. Hardly anyone noticed. Leading up to her funeral at a secluded cemetery outside Duncanville, adults whispered words of confusion and grief. Michael was lost in conflicting, blurry thoughts.

    Decades would pass before Michael unearthed truths regarding his mother's life and covered-up, murderous death, and her bizarre interconnectedness with the death of President John F. Kennedy.

    This podcast details the experiences of Dr. Marcades, former college professor/music educator, ordained minister, who has discovered dozens of documents, many of which have rewritten salient "facts" about Rose Cherami and her undeniable connection to assassins, the drug world, nationwide prostitution, corrupt law enforcement individuals, MKUltra, Jack Ruby, Lee Harvey Oswald, documented evidence of her foreknowledge of the assassination and her efforts to warn authorities before Kennedy's assassination on November 22, 1963, and her well-disguised murder two years later.

  • Bluegrass Champions and Oscar Winners: The Legacy of Putney Folk
    Jul 18 2024

    The Green Mountain Boys band from Putney, Vermont had formed in 1969 and performed in Craftsbury Common, Vermont on March 14, 1970. Banjo player, Bruce Stockwell, 14 years old, won the banjo contest that day.

    Within a short time, news spread of the Green Mountain Boys and they caught the attention of Windham College students who were part of an early 1970s college funded Student Activities group. They included David W. Gray. We contacted David W. Gray, part of the group coordinating concerts at the college and in the tri-state area.

    According to Gray, “At Windham and student activities, we really wanted to do a large-scale Folk Festival, both Bruce (Bramson) and I, and a number of other people had gone to the Toronto Folk Festival. We were just absolutely blown away. It was amazing. It was incredible. We thought, we need to do that in Putney, and so we decided to call that Putney Folk,

    Putney Folk, the organization, was born. They needed a warm-up band. Enter the Green Mountain Boys.

    This podcast follows the careers of the Green Mountain Boys, today, The Stockwell Brothers Band, and David W. Gray – In 2015 David W. Gray received an Oscar (Gordon Sawyer Award) for his technological contributions to the motion picture industry. Officially – "an individual in the motion picture industry whose technological contributions have brought credit to the industry." A fabulous career and a long way from Student Activities at Windham College.

    The podcast puts David W. Gray together with Bruce and Barry Stockwell approximately 50 years after they last saw one another – to reminisce about how it all started and where it is today.

    The voices in the podcast are David W. Gray, Bruce Stockwell, Barry Stockwell, Bill Holiday, Lyle Holiday and, briefly, podcast producer, Reggie Martell.
